What To Ask Before Purchasing a Volumetric Concrete Mixer?

How Much Concrete Must I Make to Be Profitable?

In every business we do, the very first question one asks is: how do I make money? You should ask your ProAll sales representative to help you navigate through the maths of the ROI (Return on Investment) sheet so that you can truly understand the path of money coming in (in the form of profit) and going out (in the form of investment). To get a better understanding of the movement of money, below are a few things that you need to get an answer to.

Important Questions to Ask

• What are your annual running costs for your business?
• What is the price of producing one cubic metre or yard?
• What is the market rate for a cubic yard or metre of concrete?
• In a year, how many cubic metres or yards can you pour?

Yes, these numbers can help a lot, but you must have a clear understanding of the structuring of your business. ProAll has a lot of volumetric concrete mixers for sale. But the one that you buy will offer good returns only when you have done your homework well in advance.

This can be better understood with an example. Like if you were buying a volumetric concrete mixer to meet the concrete needs of your real estate sites. Then those numbers will not be able to take into consideration how much time you saved, how many more construction jobs you can take on each year, and how your crew’s efficiency has been affected by not having to wait for concrete.

As a rule of thumb, if you can produce 2,000 cubic metres a year or 2,500 cubic yards a year, then you should be able to make a profit alongside paying off your hardware on a 5-year payment period. As there are a lot of volumetric concrete mixers for sale from different manufacturers. So, this maths will change with the configuration of the volumetric concrete mixer that you are planning to buy.

How Do I Select the Correct Chassis?

ProAll offers a diverse range of volumetric trucks for sale. We can offer you a chassis of your choice, or you can work with our local truck provider. In case you want to source your chassis from them. We can provide computer-simulated weight distributions and axle ratings for you so that you are well aware of the legal carrying capacity of your model. Most of the major truck brands operating in the market can provide a suitable chassis. But there are certain things that we recommend you look for when buying a truck:

Transmission: ProAll recommends an automatic transmission for your volumetric concrete mixer. This is the most effective way to have a roll-and-pour feature that allows your concrete mixer to move around without stopping the work at hand.

Engine: 400 HP is recommended but not compulsory.

Frame Clearance: Varies from model to model. But talk to your salesman about the CA/CT length needed for your model.
