Concrete mixer with conveyor system
One cubic metre of concrete weighs around 2.4 tonnes. That equates to about 20 wheelbarrow loads per cubic metre. If you need to move 6 cubic metres of concrete (a full mixer truck) – that’s 120 wheel barrow loads. The chemical reaction that takes place within a concrete mix begins as soon as the cement and water are mixed together which means that usually you will have less than 2 hours once the concrete arrives on site to level, compact and finish the mix and higher strength mixes will generally give a little less working time than lower grades.
The easiest way to get the concrete where you want it is to use an articulated mixer truck mounted concrete conveyor system, the one in the pictures is 17.5 metres long and articulated in 2 places. The pouring end of the concrete conveyor is 65mm wide at the widest point.
THEAM Mounted Concrete Conveyor Belts enable an easy delivery up to 17 meters away from the concrete mixer truck on each part of the site. Delivering concrete on a higher or lower ground is usually hard to perform manually with wheel barrows, THEAM conveyors allow significant time and workforce savings.
Theam’s wide range of concrete delivery products give the best choice available.

Where was the cheapest place to buy concrete in the end? I took a ‘devi’ to all the local suppliers every supplier undercut the previous quote, so I ended up getting my concrete for half the original price quoted, it’s well worth shopping around. Readymix suppliers are out to make a quick buck out of people who are unlikely to use their service more than once.
