CMS-94S specifications

The Multiquip CMS-94S is a remarkable piece of machinery in the realm of concrete mixing, designed to meet the demands of both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts. With its robust design and advanced features, this concrete mixer is indispensable for a variety of construction projects.

One of the standout features of the CMS-94S is its powerful engine. It is equipped with a reliable Honda GX240 engine that delivers outstanding performance and efficiency. This 8 HP engine ensures that the mixer operates smoothly, even under heavy loads, making it ideal for large-scale projects where time is of the essence.

Durability is a key characteristic of the Multiquip CMS-94S. The drum is constructed from high-quality steel, which not only extends its lifespan but also allows it to withstand the rigors of demanding job sites. The mixer has a capacity of 9 cubic feet, allowing users to mix a significant amount of concrete in one go. This feature greatly enhances productivity, reducing the number of batches needed for larger jobs.

The design of the CMS-94S also prioritizes user convenience and safety. It features a tipping mechanism that provides easy dumping of mixed concrete, ensuring minimal waste and easy cleanup. The ergonomically designed handles allow for a comfortable grip, making it easier to maneuver the mixer even on uneven terrain.

In terms of technology, the CMS-94S incorporates a belt-driven mixer, which is less prone to wear and tear compared to direct-drive systems. This technology ensures quieter operation, lower maintenance needs, and improved overall reliability.

Safety is also a top priority in the design of the CMS-94S. The mixer includes protective guards and safety interlocks that help prevent accidents during operation. This not only protects the operator but also ensures that the machine remains in optimal condition.

Additionally, the Multiquip CMS-94S is designed for easy transportation. It comes with large wheels that facilitate movement across construction sites without hassle, allowing for quick repositioning as work progresses.

In summary, the Multiquip CMS-94S embodies the ideal blend of power, efficiency, and durability. With its advanced features, reliable engine, and safety mechanisms, it stands out as a trusted choice for concrete mixing needs, catering to professionals and DIY projects alike.
