Description
What Makes the AT350 Different
Most site mixers ask you to choose between capacity and portability. The AT350 doesn’t make you pick. It’s built around a proper 340-litre drum, big enough to keep a groundworks team supplied without constant batching, but the whole unit sits on a fast-tow chassis that hitches up and travels between sites at speeds up to 55mph. For contractors juggling several jobs a week, that combination is the whole point of buying this machine over a static mixer.
Inside the drum, three gated paddles do the actual mixing work, folding concrete and mortar through evenly rather than just spinning it around. A large side handwheel with a foot-pedal lock gives you controlled tipping when it’s time to pour, and the 500mm pneumatic tyres mean it doesn’t get stuck the moment the ground turns soft.
Built to Take a Beating
This isn’t a mixer designed for the occasional weekend job. The chassis, drum and gearbox are all specified for daily professional use, the kind of use where a mixer might run for eight hours, get towed to another site, and do the same again the next day. Forklift pockets and a central lifting eye mean it can be moved on and off wagons without drama, and adjustable support legs let you level it out on uneven ground rather than fighting a lopsided drum all day.
Choose Your Power Source
The AT350 comes in three versions, and which one suits you usually comes down to what power is available on site rather than personal preference.
Electric (230V) — Runs from a standard 16A supply. Quieter and lower-maintenance than the engine-driven versions, so it’s the natural choice for sites with mains power, indoor work, or anywhere noise restrictions apply.
Honda Petrol (GX160) — No power supply needed. The GX160 is one of the most widely used small engines in the trade, which also makes servicing and parts easy to source almost anywhere in the UK.
Hatz Diesel (1B20) — Built for sites that run mixers hard, all day, every day. Diesel typically works out cheaper to run over long hours and suits contractors who’d rather not think about fuel twice a week.
If you’re not sure which one fits your site, it’s worth a quick call before you order. The wrong power source is the most common reason mixers get returned or swapped.
Who Buys the AT350
This mixer tends to suit jobs where a small mixer would slow the team down, but a static plant mixer is overkill. That covers:
- Groundworkers and civil engineering contractors mixing large batches daily
- Builders running multiple concrete pours across a job
- Landscaping contractors needing to move the mixer between plots
- Plant and tool hire companies wanting a reliable unit for their fleet
- Larger domestic builds and extensions where volume matters

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need Three-Phase Power to Run the Electric Model?
No. The 230V electric AT350 runs from a standard single-phase supply via a 16A connection, the same as you’d find on most site power boards.
Can One Person Tow and Set up the AT350 on Their Own?
Yes, most operators manage this alone. The ball hitch coupling makes towing straightforward, and the transition from tow mode to mixing mode is designed to take only a few minutes without extra tools.
What Tow Bar or Vehicle do I Need?
It couples via a standard ball hitch, so any tow vehicle with a compatible towbar and sufficient towing capacity for the model’s weight (see the specification table above) will do. Check your vehicle’s braked/unbraked towing limit against the mixer’s weight before towing.
Does the AT350 Come with Lights for Road Towing?
Yes, it’s supplied with an integrated lighting board and mudguards fitted as standard, so it’s ready for road use straight away.
How is the Drum Discharge Controlled?
Via a large side-mounted handwheel paired with a foot-pedal lock, which holds the drum in position during loading and releases it for a controlled pour when you’re ready.
Is Servicing Straightforward, or Does it Need a Specialist?
Routine maintenance (drum cleaning, checking paddles and belts, greasing moving parts) can be done on site by most operators. Engine or motor servicing follows the standard schedule for whichever power unit you choose, Honda, Hatz or the electric motor.
Can the AT350 be Left Outdoors Between Uses?
It’s built for site conditions, and the engine/motor is protected by a ventilated canopy, but as with any powered equipment, covering it or storing it undercover when not in use will extend its working life.
