Looking to ramp up your output, maximize your profit, and maintain the quality of your next self-leveling job? It all comes down to lining up the right equipment, assembling the right crew, and following the manufacturer’s guidelines for proper mixing. Get the details right, and you’ll be well-positioned to win larger jobs and seriously boost your bottom line.
The HIPPO is the Most Versatile Mixing and Application System to Maximize Your Efficiency
Reduce labor costs by up to 86%, Increase output by up to 11x!
Your best path to increasing profits is minimizing labor costs. Investing in the right mixing and application equipment is crucial to get the most out of your crew and cover a lot of ground quickly. A team of workers using barrel-style mixers or hand mixers with 5-gallon transport buckets is very inefficient and won’t be positioned for success versus the MEGA HIPPO mixing station. And, fortunately, you don’t have to break the bank to invest in the HIPPO mixing system.
HIPPO and Pelican w LevelFlor
When a customer has a self-leveling coating application, we recommend a combination of MEGA HIPPO mixing stations and Pelican Transfer Carts. The MEGA HIPPO mixing station is a powerful, dependable, economical workhorse for high-quality mixing, capable of mixing 6-bag batches and featuring built-in technology to keep the job site cleaner and safer than traditional mixers.
A Flexible Solution for Jobs of All Sizes
Why do our customers love the MEGA HIPPO so much? When the job site is humming, top applicators can expect to be mixing around 50 bags of material per MEGA HIPPO per hour. The system can provide a full ROI in as little as one job.
What is The HIPPO?
The HIPPO is a modular, easily expandable system that you can build around to satisfy jobs of all sizes. For small projects, a single operator can use the MEGA HIPPO to mix, transport, and pour directly onto the floor – at more than 4x the speed of a worker with a bucket and hand mixer.When you factor in transporting and laying down your mix, the MEGA HIPPO mixing station provides even more impressive gains. Using a 5-gallon bucket is not ergonomically friendly to the worker who must lift and carry the bucket to the placement site. With the MEGA HIPPO, each batch is far bigger (5-6 bags) – the equivalent of 5 x 5-gallon buckets – transportation is a breeze, material placement is extremely user-friendly, very accurate, and maintains the wet edge when pouring.
You can max out your overall productivity on large jobs by setting up a HIPPO mixing system for an uninterrupted cycle of mixing and application to the floor. The mixing system is built around two MEGA HIPPO mixing stations, one Pelican transport cart, and three workers – two people feeding the mix and operating the MEGA HIPPOs, and one transporting and pouring with the Pelican. This configuration allows for a continuous cycle of mixing and application while maximizing your workers’ productivity, alleviating fatigue, and maximizing your profits.
For larger jobs, you can increase your productivity with three MEGA HIPPOs and two Pelicans. With that system arrangement, 150 bags per hour is a very workable goal. With such a flexible and modular system, it is easy to add and rearrange equipment to best suit a particular job.
On top of this, the MEGA HIPPO mixing station allows you to run large jobs while simultaneously running smaller jobs with the same productivity levels. This is perhaps the greatest advantage of using the HIPPO mixing system.

Top Reasons to Choose a MEGA HIPPO Mixing System
1. Built to Last: Heavy-duty components provide a consistent operation, long life, and reliability – job after job after job.
2. Powerful: A high-torque, 3-speed motor (160/290/410 RPM) to handle heavier aggregate and thicker, flowable material.
3. Large-Capacity: Mix up to 6 bags, 23 gallons or 350 lbs. at a time, or easily swap out paddles to efficiently tackle half batches.
4. Easy Cleanup: Removable, flexible, and reusable liner prevents cross-contamination and protects canister
5. Narrow Profile: Fits through standard doorways with ease!
6. Job Site Maneuverability: Use on level floors with casters, or rough terrain with air-filled tires.
7. Portability: With a transport height of 48”, the MEGA HIPPO easily fits into open-bed trucks or in transport vans.
8. Versatility: Team the MEGA HIPPO with a Pelican for the ultimate, modular mixing system. Your HIPPO system fleet can be mixed and matched to do multiple small jobs in one day or bring them all together to handle large projects.
9. Social Distancing: When there is a need for social distance on the job site, the HIPPO system allows workers to remain productive while maintaining the required separation.
