A concrete kibble (10) for transporting of concrete, typically underground transportation such as through mines. The concrete kibble (10) has a cylinder (11) aligned horizontally on its central axis with ends (12, 14) attached to form a hollow drum such that the cylindrical shape prevents concrete remnants sticking to the internal surface within the drum and aids in the discharge of the concrete through delivery chutes. A quick detach system (QDS) (16) attached to the cylinder (11) provides for secure transportation of the concrete kibble (10). The QDS (16) has a primary connection coupling (16.11) and a secondary connection coupling (16.9). The secondary connection coupling (16.9) has a latch pin mechanism that ensures the concrete kibble remains secured to the transport vehicle in the event of the failure of the QDS primary connection coupling (16.11). A top entry door (19) allows for loading of material into the cylinder. The top entry door (19) is opened and closed by a hydraulic ram (20) with a control valve lever (21.1) located centrally on a panel (21) situated on the front of the cylinder. Two spaced apart delivery chutes (17), (18) with operable doors (17.1), (18.1) are located on either side of the front (13) of the cylinder (11). The left and right chute doors (17.1), (18.1) are operated respectively by hydraulic rams with control valve levers, the control valve levers being located to the left and right of the control valve lever (21.1) for the top entry door (19). Rails (13.1), (15.1) installed between end plates (12), (14) of the cylinder (11) at the bottom of the front (13) and rear (15) of the cylinder form a sturdy stable support base for the concrete kibble (10) when at rest and also act as skid bars that protect the drum when the concrete kibble is being transported.
