Benefits of renting a concrete mixer

If you are involved in occasional construction projects, opting for a concrete mixer rental (with an operator) is an economical and judicious choice. This approach is particularly strategic when you have short-term needs or have to respond to a sudden increase in business opportunities.

Rental also offers you the possibility of replacing a concrete mixer that is being repaired in your workshop. This will enable you to meet your deadlines without incurring the costs associated with prolonged and costly downtime.

Concrete mixers: definition and overview of features

Concrete mixer trucks, also known as concrete mixers, are vehicles specially designed to transport freshly mixed concrete from the concrete plant to construction sites.

These vehicles are equipped with a rotating drum fitted with paddles that carefully mix the concrete during transport, ensuring a uniform, homogeneous product on arrival. Concrete mixer trucks are available in a range of sizes and capacities, for projects of all sizes.

Cost-effectiveness

One of the main benefits of truck-mixer rental is its cost effectiveness. Purchasing and maintaining these vehicles represents a substantial investment. By opting for rental, construction companies can allocate their financial resources more efficiently and avoid the usual expenses associated with owning a concrete mixer, such as maintenance, insurance and storage.

Flexibility

Construction projects often vary in size. Renting concrete mixer trucks gives you the flexibility to choose vehicles according to project requirements. Whether it’s a small residential construction project or a large-scale infrastructure project, you can adjust the size of the fleet to suit your needs, ensuring optimum use of resources.

Latest Technology

The construction industry is constantly evolving, with technological advances improving the efficiency and quality of operations. The latest models are equipped with cutting-edge features such as GPS tracking, automated mixing controls and fuel-efficient engines. Renting gives you access to these technological advances without committing to a long-term investment.

Low Maintenance

Concrete mixer trucks require regular maintenance to operate properly. Renting takes away the responsibility for maintenance and repairs. At Groupe Bellemare, we regularly carry out thorough inspections to ensure that trucks are in perfect condition before delivery.

Expertise and Assistance

With every concrete mixer rental, we offer technical assistance and an operator. This expertise and assistance ensure that concrete mixer trucks are used safely and efficiently, minimizing the risk of accidents or mishaps.

Challenges in renting concrete mixer trucks

While there are many benefits to renting a concrete mixer truck, there are some potential challenges to bear in mind.

Availability: Depending on location and demand, some areas may experience limited availability of rental units during peak construction seasons. Planning ahead is essential. In addition, we only rent within 160 km of our facilities.

All our truck-mixers available for hire are high-performance and in impeccable condition. Our fleet includes 21 models of 12-wheel concrete mixers and 6 3-axle semi-trailer concrete mixers. Do not hesitate to contact us to determine which equipment is best suited to your project.

Matching capacity to project: Selecting the right truck size to meet the project’s concrete volume requirements can be difficult. Lessees need to accurately estimate their needs to avoid delays caused by insufficient capacity.

Of course, our experts can help you with this task. You can also refer to our concrete calculation guide and use our concrete calculator.

• Quality controls: Inspect rented equipment on delivery to make sure it meets your criteria.
• Operational training: Take advantage of any training offered to ensure that your team is ready to welcome the concrete mixer safely and efficiently to the worksite.
