- Brand: Higher
- Model: HP-74550
- Type: Concrete mixer for professional and semi-professional use
- Working volume: 200 L (220 L total drum volume)
- Motor: 1500 W, 230 V single phase
- Drive: Cast iron ring gear and pinion
- Certification: CE marked and TÜV certified
- Mobility: Two transport wheels
With a 1500 W motor, this concrete mixer from Higher is dimensioned for professional and semi-professional use – the motor runs without overheating or overload even with heavy batches, which matters greatly for service life over years of operation. The 200-litre working volume handles substantial batches of concrete and mortar, and the machine connects to a standard 230 V single-phase socket.
Beyond the CE marking, the mixer is TÜV certified, confirming both build standard and safety level through independent testing. Two transport wheels make it easy to move around the site, and the yellow powder-coated finish is thermally cured to withstand outdoor wear.
What sets the Higher concrete mixer apart?
What sets this mixer apart is the combination of motor power and drivetrain: 1500 W paired with a cast iron ring gear and pinion, mounted at the joint between the drum halves and protected by a guard covering the entire drive mechanism. The drum is pressed from a single piece of steel with a rounded rim as reinforcement, features a new drum shape with increased strength, and the joint between the drum halves is sealed with a gasket. Two large mixing paddles are bolted inside the drum and provide fast, even blending of the material. Tilting is controlled by a hand wheel with a locking disc in multiple positions, complemented by a foot-operated tilt lock.
How is the motor protected during prolonged operation?
The 1500 W single-phase motor (S6 30%) sits in a sealed two-component plastic housing with high impact resistance, an efficient cooling system and separate overheating protection. Protection class II with reinforced insulation guards against both direct and indirect contact – a safer construction than protection class I – and the IP44 rating permits operation in construction environments. A sufficiently powerful motor also means lower electricity consumption relative to the work performed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the Higher concrete mixer 200L come pre-assembled?
No, the mixer is delivered in a protective box (77 x 73.5 x 52 cm) for self-assembly. Illustrated instructions are included. Gross weight is 62.5 kg and net weight 59.5 kg.
How is the Higher concrete mixer 200L moved around the site?
The mixer has two transport wheels and a steel frame of tubes and profiles with welded-in corner reinforcements. At a net weight of 59.5 kg, it is easily tipped onto the wheels and rolled to the next pouring location by one person.
What sets the Higher concrete mixer 200L apart from simpler concrete mixers?
The 1500 W motor provides headroom even with heavy batches where weaker mixers risk overload, and the drivetrain with cast iron ring gear and pinion withstands prolonged daily operation. The mixer is also TÜV certified in addition to CE marking – independent confirmation of build standard and safety that simpler mixers often lack.
