Our Mixer
A state of the art volumetric mixer. Volumetric mixers are designed to mix the concrete on site to your specification. There is no waste; you only pay for the quantity discharged.

How much concrete do I need?
Our concrete calculator allows you to accurately work out the amount of concrete you’ll need for the job. Simply add the measurements for your concrete order to the relevant shapes above; you only have to fill in the shapes you want to use. You can build up a concrete calculation for complicated areas by adding additional shapes of each type. Please note that the concrete calculator can only use one unit denomination of inches, feet, millimetres, centimetres or metres.

The same measurement format must be used for length, width and depth. If you have any questions regarding the volume requirements for your concrete order, please check the guide or contact our helpful customer support team.

Only Pay For What You Lay!
Once on site, our volumetric concrete mixer discharges precise quantities of concrete. When the discharge is complete, we will issue a printout showing the exact quantity. No Waste. No Extra Costs.
