Self loading all terrain concrete mixer

[matstracs]

Morning all

Anyone have much experience with running one of these self loading all terrain concrete mixers? We do alot of smaller concrete jobs as well as the odd job needing a few lorries worth. Issue we seem to have nowdays is the readymix stuff is going down hill. Weve gone now to mix ourselves and the tractor and pan mixer as good as it is doesnt hold enough on some jobs. I see utranazz in oxford seem to be the guys that advertise these mostly but the cheapest one at nearly 30k is out of it. Are there any other guys in the uk dealing in these?

Cheers
Matt

Ultra niche market, theres probably a few cheaper chinesium imports but not sure how costs would stack up.
Not had any concrete for a few months but around £140 ish plus vat m3 last time for 4.5m2
Problem with mixing is the raw costs loose ballast here is around £35 plus vat and bagged is nearly doubled cement something like £7 so not far off the cost of getting it delivered

Ye appreciate that. I already stock pile the ballast etc here and use the 52n cement. Its just the fact now that whats coming out of a lorry now here isn't what it used be

We often need lean mix (spec is usually stabilized sand at 200kg per m3, we have used a plant for a long time but its getting very expensive, other day for first time we knocked some up in the dumper, my rough reckoning was split a 35kg bag into 1200 s40 scandi bucket , face shovel the bucket into the sand heap till full tip into dumper and mix, engcon helped the mixing process, did it dry then wet it as it went round the tank. ..surely there is a clean way to mix up some gear without the expense of and transport of a stand alone unit.
Think someone on here said they mix up in a old bin which wouldn't be a bad shout, anyone used a mixer bucket on a 6t size machine ?

Looked at them for 3 ton 150 litre capacity about 4k robostack with hitch for 3/5.5 ton, will get one eventually last ready mix I had was £140m3 for c25 so economics now working in self mixing small batches, when it was £80m3 wasn’t

Are you going to enlighten me @JD450A ?

Does it involve welding ?

Will do

It's a Robostrack thing..... Very good for rough jobs or very wet pours..... But don't believe the hype.

Not cut out for a sand/cement no water mix then

Depends on your goal. Itll be as good as a dumper mix

To go back to the begining would it not be easier to knock up in your lorry bed and transfer to dumper. I used to knock up in the back of a 7.5t tipper and it was by far the easiest thing to get a consistent mix in. Far far better than a dumper especially a swivel skip.
This was on highways work so was many more advantages. Like being able to chute it out into barrows

Cant always get truck up close to hole, don't want truck and dumper to wash off afterwards, don't really want to be pulling bin to bits on truck as its dropsides so not super strong.
A rough old skip might not be a bad shout if I can find one.

I never pulled the body of the 7.5t to bits and that was dropside although well made. And we never washed it out either. Would sweep it out but the first load of muck through it cleaned it out. It was pretty regimented thought that we wouldn't do two loads of concrete in a row. It was always day 1 dig out and muck away. Day 2 concrete in and remainder of muck away. Day three tarmac. Rinse and repeat.
