About Concrete Mixers
Concrete mixers, sometimes colloquially called “cement mixers,” are machines that use a revolving drum or other rotating device to combine aggregate such as sand or gravel with cement and water to form concrete. Today there are numerous types of concrete mixers to meet the needs of everything from large-scale construction sites to small home projects. Within the overarching concrete mixer category, you’ll find self-propelled, towable, stationary, and walk-behind versions.

McNeilus Bridgemaster Concrete Mixer
In addition to the large, self-propelled mixing trucks with 11-cubic-yard drums commonly used at construction sites for large-scale projects such as bridges and roads, there are several smaller, portable versions like the towable and walk-behind that can easily be moved from one location to another as work progresses, as well as stationary mixers. Portable mixers are gas- or electric-powered, with wheels for easy transport, and have a capacity of up to 2 cubic yards. They are used on smaller projects such as concrete overlay and repair projects. Stationary concrete mixers sit on a solid pedestal and are often used when a large batch of concrete is needed in one location, such as producing pre-cast concrete molds or on large-scale infrastructure projects.
