A concrete mixer trailer is attached on a truck. Concrete mixers serve to transport the fresh concrete to the construction site. The concrete is filled in through a funnel into the revolving drum. The drum is turning for preventing from a decomposition of the ingredients of the concrete. There are three different sizes of drums for concrete mixer trailer. On a three-axle truck can be 6-7m² transported, on a four-axle it is possible to transport up to 8-9m² and in special versions 10-12 m². Rarely are tractor/semi-trailer with concrete mixers applied which are able to carry up to 15m² but these are only applied on large construction sites.
Concrete is mixed out of different aggregates, water and cement as binder. There are also stationary kinds of concrete mixers. These drum mixers or free fall mixers have a small capacity and are mostly applied on smaller construction sites.

Concrete mixer

The utility vehicles with a concrete mixer trailer have a special equipment for transporting the fresh liquid concrete. They have special slides which can be attached and removed. Further concrete mixer trailers have a plastic pipe which carries the concrete up to 6 m. This is only possible when the concrete is flowable, this depends on if the concrete mixer has concrete plasticizers. These plasticizers do not influence the compound of cement and water.
The drum of the concrete mixer has shovels on its inner walls on which the concrete falls while the drum turns. When the concrete mixer trailer reaches the construction site the direction of rotation is changed so that the liquid concrete is delivered to the outside.
There are special chassis for trucks on which concrete mixer trailers are attached. Here one must consider that the rotation of the mixing drum results in an uneven burden of the whole truck. The chassis has to compensate this disequilibrium.

For the support of concrete mixer trailers are concrete pumps applied. These serve to transport concrete into heights of 100 m with the aid of hydraulic telescopic booms.
Concrete mixer trailer are more flexible than stationary mixers and have substantially higher capacities. Depending on the purpose for which you need a concrete mixer you have to device whether you want to buy or rent the vehicle. The more often you need a concrete mixer trailer it is worthwhile to buy a concrete mixer. If you only need it for once or very rarely renting can be a good option. The next decision which has to be made is the size of the concrete mixer. A concrete mixer as a trailer is suitable for bigger construction sites and larger concrete amounts. Free fall mixers and ring trough mixers are appropriate for smaller construction sites on which the concrete has not to be transported on long distances and in smaller amounts.
