Abstract: A concrete mixer truck includes a truck chassis having a cab mounted at the front of the chassis. A mixing drum adapted to receive, mix and dispense concrete is mounted at a rear end of the chassis. The drum has a discharge end which faces the cab. A collector is located above the cab roof and is spaced apart from the mixing drum. A conveyor device mounted on a support frame is located generally between the cab and the drum and is utilized to transport concrete from the discharge end of said mixing drum up an inclined slope to the collector. A placement chute system directs a gravity flow of concrete from said collector to a desired location. The mixer truck utilizes the chassis, drum and other components of a standard rear discharge mixer truck to create a new type of front discharge mixer which has many of the advantages of existing front discharge mixer trucks at a reduced cost.
