Used Concrete Mixer Truck Costs

If you want to save money, buy a used concrete mixer truck. These trucks cost between $30,000 and $90,000.

Some very used trucks on auction sites like IronPlanet can be as low as $1,000 to $9,999.

Where to Find Good Used Mixer Trucks

• Online markets like Commercial Truck Trader
• Auction sites like MachineryTrader
• Local dealers who sell concrete mixer trucks for construction projects

When buying a used truck, check the drum condition and how many miles it has been driven.

Rental Options for Concrete Mixer Trucks

Renting a concrete mixer truck costs between $500 and $1,200 per day. This price changes based on:

• Size of the truck
• Special features
• Rental time (day, week, month)
• Location

Renting is good for short jobs. If your job will last more than a few weeks, buying might be better.

Front Discharge vs. Rear Discharge Mixers

There are two main types of concrete mixer trucks:

1. Front discharge mixer trucks – Driver can see better, good for tight spaces
2. Rear discharge mixer trucks – More common, usually cost less

The discharge type can change the price by $10,000 or more.

Drum Capacity and Pricing

Drum size is very important for pricing:

• Small drums (under 6m³): Lower cost
• Medium drums (6.1 to 10m³): Most popular size
• Large drums (10.1 to 15m³): Higher cost
• Extra large (15.1 to 20m³): Highest cost

A bigger drum can carry more concrete but costs more money.
