Many small and medium-sized construction teams face challenges with concrete mixing and transportation. They either rely on ready-mixed concrete transport, which can lead to delays in traffic jams or remote construction sites, while also incurring significant costs due to additional freight charges. Alternatively, they use traditional mixers with manual loading, which is inefficient and often results in poor concrete quality due to inaccurate batching. Consequently, they are inevitably interested in the price of a self-loading concrete mixer, wondering if this “all-in-one” multi-purpose device truly balances cost and efficiency. The self-loading concrete mixer automatically handles sand and gravel collection, precise batching, and efficient mixing, and can also deliver concrete directly to the construction site, eliminating the need for additional equipment and labor. Pricing varies depending on the capacity (e.g., 3-cubic-meter, 5-cubic-meter) and features (e.g., intelligent control system, off-road tires). Using a self-loading concrete mixer truck can reduce equipment procurement costs, minimize material waste, and shorten construction schedules, resulting in significant savings. It’s particularly suitable for projects seeking efficient and cost-effective construction. Are you interested? Contact us now.【WhatsApp/WeChat/Phone/Skype】+86 136 1385 6800

Advantages of the YG Self-Loading Concrete Mixer Truck
- All-in-One Design: Integrates loading, mixing, transporting, and unloading, allowing it to independently complete concrete production tasks without the need for additional auxiliary equipment.
- Efficient Loading System: Equipped with a hydraulically controlled bucket, it accurately and quickly loads cement, sand, gravel, and other aggregates into the mixing drum, saving time and effort.
- Precise Mixing: A built-in, precise metering system automatically controls the addition of water, cement, and aggregate according to the set mix ratio, ensuring consistent concrete quality.
- Powerful Mixing Capacity: Optimized mixing blade design and a powerful engine ensure uniform concrete mixing and high mixing efficiency.
- Flexible Mobility: The powerful four-wheel drive system allows it to navigate rugged and muddy construction sites, allowing it to produce concrete anytime, anywhere.
- Intelligent Operator Interface: The ergonomically designed cab with an intuitive control panel ensures easy operation.
Self-Loading Concrete Mixer Truck Applications
- Rural and Remote Area Construction: In areas with relatively underdeveloped infrastructure, like electricity and roads, YG self-loading concrete mixer trucks can independently produce concrete without external power.
- Municipal Engineering and Road Construction: Projects such as urban roads, bridges, and culverts require large quantities of concrete and are located in diverse locations. Self-loading concrete mixer trucks can produce concrete locally, improving construction efficiency and reducing traffic congestion.
- Real Estate Development: Especially in the early stages of land development or on smaller projects, self-loading concrete mixer trucks provide a flexible concrete supply solution, reducing initial investment.
- Tunnel and Underground Engineering: Their compact design and strong off-road capabilities make them ideal for concrete operations in narrow, complex, and varied tunnels or underground spaces.
- Emergency Repair: When natural disasters or equipment failures require rapid repair, self-loading concrete mixer trucks can respond quickly and provide a timely concrete supply.
Use Cases of Self-Loading Concrete Mixer Trucks from Customers in 2 Different Countries
Case 1: Rural Road Construction Project in the Philippines
- Client Background: A medium-sized construction company in the Philippines was responsible for a road expansion project in a remote rural area. Due to the mountainous terrain of the construction site, large concrete mixing plants were difficult to transport, and manual mixing was inefficient.
- Problems Encountered: Material transportation was difficult, construction progress was slow, labor costs were high, and concrete quality was inconsistent.
- YG Solution: The company purchased several YG 5-cubic-meter self-loading concrete mixer trucks.
- User Experience and Evaluation: “YG’s self-loading concrete mixer trucks are tailor-made for projects like ours! They easily climb mountain roads and mix wherever they go, significantly reducing material transportation and mixing time. We are now at least 30% ahead of schedule, and the concrete quality is remarkably consistent, earning high praise from the project owner. YG’s self-loading concrete mixers are very reasonably priced, and their after-sales service is prompt. We highly recommend them!”
Case 2: Small Infrastructure Upgrade Project in Indonesia
- Client Background: An Indonesian contractor was responsible for several small municipal infrastructure upgrade projects, including bridge repairs and drainage system construction. The projects were located in scattered locations and required a high degree of construction flexibility.
- Problems: Traditional methods require the mobilization of multiple pieces of equipment, resulting in complex coordination, large site requirements, and limited flexibility.
- YG Solution: The contractor selected YG’s 3-cubic-meter self-loading concrete mixer truck.
- User Experience and Evaluation: “This YG equipment has greatly simplified my construction process. One truck handles everything, from mixing to unloading, making it incredibly convenient. I can quickly move it between projects without worrying about site constraints or equipment coordination. It’s like a mobile concrete plant, making project management easier than ever. It’s one of the best mobile concrete batching plants I’ve ever used.”
Frequently Asked Questions About Self-Loading Concrete Mixers
Q1: What’s a self-loading concrete mixer?
A1: It’s a machine that loads, mixes, and transports concrete alone. No extra equipment for feeding or moving. Great for small construction sites where space is tight, saving time and labor.
Q2: How to choose the right capacity (3m³ vs 5m³)?
A2: Pick 3m³ if your project is small (like rural houses). Choose 5m³ for larger work (road repairs). Consider your daily concrete need—don’t pick too big or small to avoid waste or delays.
Q3: Is it hard to operate a self-loading concrete mixer?
A3: No. It has simple controls, and even new users learn fast. Most have clear labels and basic safety tips. Just follow the manual, and you can handle loading, mixing, and moving easily.
Q4: How to maintain it for long-term use?
A4: Check the engine oil and hydraulic oil regularly. Clean the mixing drum after each use to prevent concrete buildup. Inspect tires and gears monthly. Small checks keep it working well.
Q5: Can it work on rough terrain?
A5: Yes. It has off-road tires and good climbing ability (up to 30-40°). Works on muddy fields or hilly areas, perfect for remote construction sites where regular mixers can’t reach.
