Indiana-based New Image Mixer has dedicated a 70,000-sq.-ft. facility for front discharge mixer truck refurbishment. It offers two packages for extending vehicle service life, each maintaining an original VIN to allow truck owners economy and flexibility in powertrain overhaul or upgrades. Under a basic package, New Image tears down old mixers to rolling chassis; installs new wiring harnesses plus air, hydraulic and water lines; sandblasts and paints cab, barrel, hood and fenders; rebuilds engines and major components or replaces with remanufactured Cummins or Caterpillar power; and, performs complete cab interior overhaul. A second package includes those services around new, customer-supplied Terex Advance or Oshkosh box frames, plus a host of hood, lighting, fender, barrel, chute and chassis options.
