Concrete dumper, mixidump etc etc

[Giles]

Got a job to do 20 mins from main rd in a field awful access will need 4-6m3 concrete.

now I could get out big belle mixer 440l and mix it but that’s hard work.

I was thinking getting a little pan mixer 609-800l and mounting it on my 1ton tracked dumper giving tip slew and hydraulic power.

over complicating it?
Digger mounted concrete bucket, pto pan mixer on tractor?

I've got a one of them old diesel site mixers. I've often thought if i had a job like yours come up, i could load the mixer with the mini digger

How bad is access?? the big big pan mixers on a telehandler is brilliant even on a little 2.5t lift machine
And can put the concrete wherever you like

That’s what the big belle is still only 2 barrows a mix though

It’s getting the telhander there though have to low loader it in and out so £400 or so plus buying pan mixer.

Thinking pan mixer on 1 ton dumper gives you the same but moveable on trailer

I like the idea but can’t see a 1 tonne dumper handling a pan mixer of that size.

 

[GazCro]

If you're thinking of a pan mixer which is only double the capacity of a belle I personally don't think there's enough benefit for the hassle and money involved setting it up.

Two 3 ton dumpers and spoon with out with digger

Can get 400/600/800/1000 L ones

Yeah maybe we’ve a few 3 ton dumpers so could get 1m3 in each if I can get the concrete wagon into the valley

 

[diggerjones]

You still have to get all the materials there. Or are you saying you can't get a concrete wagon.

Did 7 cube in a diesel site mixer end of last year, shovelling it in by hand.

Definitely doable, not enjoyable.

Could go down to a smaller mixer and hire one of those little neuson telehandlers that can be mover by trailer

Or if you have the 3 tonne dumpers would a bigger pan mixer on one of those be more effective and useful in other circumstances than one on a tracked dumper

when i was VERY much younger ... early 80s, I fed two mixers all day for a 20' x 30' x 1' thick slab for the old man .... brother barrowing (not far TF) and the old fella spreading/levelling .... was a looooooooooooooooong day and a looooooooooorra concrete ...... put a lovely shed on it after

We bought a 3/4 cube mixer bucket for a bridge job a few months back. Fits on a 14 tonne machine. Perfect for the job and a big time and equipment saver over a pan mixer as you don’t need another machine to load it, just scoop it out of a pile. Hydraulic operated chute from the cab to place it anywhere you want. Down side it’s over twice the price of a pan mixer so a longer term investment rather than a one off job…

did 5m3 in a set of founds on a job needed to be ready for brickys on the Monday loaded by hand as the customer wanted to batch the cement would have been easer loading with the digger but the customer is always right
