Hiring a Concrete Mixer Truck: Your Cost Guide

Understanding the Cost

The cost of hiring a concrete mixer truck can vary based on several factors. 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 different sizes, and the size you need directly impacts 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
