Concrete mixing is a demanding job. Whether you're a contractor who provides concrete services regularly or a small business owner simply looking for a way to renovate part of your property, you need concrete cement mixer equipment to fit the job. Large or small, find the cement mixers you need.

Depending on the size, location and type of job, there are specific machines to accomplish your ends. Examples are small electric mixers or full-size cement trucks. With the following steps, find a concrete solution for your business:

  1. Get cement mixers for construction/contracting purposes.
  2. Locate a portable concrete mixer for your small business renovation or addition.
  3. Buy or rent cement trucks for larger, on-location jobs.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Be prepared for any concrete job with cement mixers


As a contractor, you need various types of specialized equipment. Make sure you're prepared for concrete and mortar jobs by purchasing your own cement mixer. Every aspect of a job that you can perform is one more advantage you have over the competition. The next time a customer asks, "Do you do cement work?" you can say, "Yes."

I recommend: Get cement and mortar solutions from Discount Equipment or Southern-Tool; both companies have several portable concrete mixer options you can choose from for your construction needs.

Get the right mobile concrete mixer for your planned business addition


You might be putting in a new sidewalk, putting up a wall, adding a wheelchair ramp or simply redoing some flooring. Whatever job you're doing to improve your business, the solution you need is available from distributors of concrete mixers. Small, portable and powered by either electricity or gas, a mixer can finish that job quickly and efficiently.

I recommend: For your renovation or addition requirements, small concrete mixer equipment will usually suffice. Northern Tool has several options, and Construction Complete carries a line of electric cement mixers. Save money by going to Rock and Dirt for their used cement mixer selection.

Use a concrete mixer truck to transport material for larger jobs


For high-volume or distant concrete jobs, a cement truck is your best option. Able to transport large amounts of concrete to nearly any reasonable location, these trucks do double duty as both conveyances and mixers, meaning the cement is ready to use as soon as the truck arrives. For long-term needs, look into purchasing your own. You also have the option of renting or leasing a truck.

I recommend: Get the truck you need for your concrete projects at Trucks and Parts, or contact McNeilus for information about leasing a truck or Pioneer for buying a used concrete mixer truck.

Use the right mix for the right job, and watch your timetable, taking precautions against having the cement set before you're ready (especially in your rented equipment).
