Hiring a Concrete Mixer Truck: Your Cost Guide

When you’re knee-deep in a construction project, big or small, the last thing you want to stress about is how to get that concrete mixed and poured. That’s where hiring a concrete mixer truck comes in – it’s like having a mobile concrete plant on wheels. But let’s cut to the chase: how much will it cost you? We’re here to break it down, straight talking, no fluff.

Key Takeaways:

Understanding the Cost

The cost of hiring a concrete mixer truck can vary based on several factors, and our Concrete Mixer Hire page shows current day and week rates for different drum capacities so you can budget accurately.

To give you a ballpark figure, prices for hiring a concrete mixer truck can start from £400 per day. Now, these are broad strokes, so let’s take a closer look.

Sizing

Concrete mixer trucks come in various sizes, and the one you choose will directly impact the price. A smaller, 4 to 6-cubic metre truck is perfect for smaller projects or tight sites and is on the lower end of the price spectrum. If you’re tackling a larger project, you might need an 8 to 12-cubic metre truck, which will cost a bit more due to its higher capacity.

Duration of Hire

How long you need the truck for can significantly affect the overall cost. Some companies offer a half-day rate, while others charge a full-day minimum. If you’re looking at a longer-term project, weekly or monthly hires can provide better value for money.

Location

Where your project is located can affect the hire cost due to delivery and pickup charges. Projects further from the hire company’s base may incur higher transportation fees.

There are a few other things you might need to consider, too:

• Operator fees – divers/operators come at an additional cost
• Concrete disposal – there may be extra charges for disposing of excess concrete
