Concrete Drum Mixers

What are concrete drum mixers?
They are skid steer attachments that resemble in appearance the larger cement mixers we often see on the back of ready mix trucks. Although much smaller and, these skid-steer attachments can often out-perform large mixing trucks and ready mix services. Skid-steer rotating drum mixers offer construction a cost-effective, time-efficient alternative to reliance on third party ready mix companies by allowing them to mix concrete on the spot whenever they choose to do so.

How can buying one or more mixer drums help our project?
It will certainly save you time and money. Rising fuel costs have forced ready mix companies to require minimum volume purchases, and if they do deliver less than the required minimum, the price is significantly higher than the normal yardage price.

Many work crews are now manually mixing and transporting concrete in wheel barrels. This is labor intensive and can easily run an operation into overtime. Drum mixers can do the job faster and much more ergonomically.

Are drum mixers easy to use?
Yes. All you have to do is mount the unit onto the skid steer, mix the concrete, move the drum into position, and tilt to place the concrete. You can make your own concrete on the spot whenever necessary, mix only the amount they require at the time, and rapidly move and pour it into place without spillage or waste of raw materials.

What features do concrete mixer drums have?
Easy Rack concrete drum mixers weigh only 225 lbs when empty, can mix 6 cubic feet of concrete at a time, and will attach to almost any skid-steer with its universal skid-steer quick-tach and 3/8” plate mounting components. The combination of a very basic design, rugged engineering, and material build makes the Easy Rack Concrete Mixer Drum ideal for the toughest of applications in any terrain or climate. You will quickly come to rely upon it as one of your most trusted pieces of equipment.

How does the drum mixer work?
It rotates under the power of an independent hydraulic motor that mounts externally to the skid-steer. This motor is secured by a rugged carrier bearing that helps support the load in transit and protects the motor and seals from wear and tear. This makes the entire mounting configuration extra secure and ensures uninterrupted, safe performance in the roughest terrain or the most exacting of rental conditions.
