A vehicle for mixing concrete comprises an operator cabin 2, a horizontal chassis 4 comprising a load support frame 14 that has longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the ground. Rotatable mixing drum 16 with over skin 18 and drum ring 19 is supported on chassis 4 such that the longitudinal axis A of mixing drum 16 is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis X of the frame and driven by motor 26. The mixing drum comprises a drum ring and being configured to hold and mix a load. Chassis 4 also comprises a rear pedestal 22 on which drum ring 19 is supported, and which also has a pair of drum rollers (24a, 24b Fig 3) in contact with drum ring 16. At least one stop 40 is provided to prevent lateral movement of drum 16 beyond a predetermined distance from a centreline of the vehicle, or to limit vertical movement of drum 16 so that lateral movement thereof beyond a predetermined distance from the centre line is prevented (see Fig 2). Stop(s) 40 may be a low friction material in the form of a rotatable roller or non-rotatable component. The provision of stop(s) 40 intends to reduce the chances of vehicle roll-over by providing a rebalance and reduction in movement which may cause the vehicle to lose its centre of gravity.
