Portable cement mixers are skid-steer attachments that allow you to turn your skid-steer into a mobile ready mix unit. Some feature a rotating cylinder design that mixes cement or concrete much like the cylinder on the back of a ready mix truck. Others look like large scoop buckets that can then be tilted for cement mixing or onsite concrete manufacture. The demand for portable cement mixers continues to increase as ready mix companies raise their prices for concrete delivery and require large minimum purchase volumes for construction companies who often require only small amounts of cement or concrete to complete their projects. This costs time and money any time crews have to wait for trucks to arrive, and it also grossly inflates the value of cement and concrete beyond normal concrete yardage costs.
Portable cement mixers eliminate this needless downtime, expense, and waste by letting crews mix their own cement and concrete right there on the construction site. Both cement mixer drums and skid-steer bucket concrete mixers are designed to let work crews mix only the cement and concrete they need for a particular task at hand. Both types of portable cement mixers give work crews onsite, ready-mix capability and do away with the hours of waiting many crews have to endure when third parties become involved in a project.
Easy Rack offers two types of portable cement mixers that attach to almost any skid-steer and make cement mixing portable, ergonomic, safe, and cost effective.
Concrete Mixer Drums are ideal for mixing both cement and concrete 6 cubic feet at a time.
1. A rotating cylinder design makes this ideal for evenly mixing both cement and concrete.
2. The mixer drum has a volume of 6 cubic feet-ideal for small and mid-sized pouring requirements.
3. The mixer drum operates on an independent hydraulic motor that mounts to the skid-steer’s exterior.
4. This portable cement mixer will mount to almost any skid-steer by means of a universal quick-tach attachment.
5. To use portable cement mixer drum, simply tilt it up to load, transport it to the desired location, mix, and tilt to pour.
When you have to make concrete on the spot with existing materials, skid-steer bucket concrete mixers are the ideal tool.
1. When you have to mix cement with sand or gravel, use this unit as a bucket to scoop up these materials before adding your cement.
2. When you tilt this portable cement mixer onto its side, you will notice a bag splitter that allows you to break bags of cement and pour their contents directly into the unit
3. Simply add water, mix, and discharge either by tilting the mixer downward or through a chute on the side.
Portable cement mixers let your workers mix concrete and cement on the spot using only a skid steer, water, and a basic raw materials readily available on the job site. This contributes significantly toward a reduction of overall man hours, elimination of overtime, excessive expenditures on subcontracting ready mix suppliers, and time delays that can affect project completion.
