Whether you’re working on a large-scale construction job, home remodel, or a different project, you might require a large or small batch of concrete to be prepared and poured onsite. According to the professionals at Golden Alaska Excavating, a concrete supplier based in Kodiak, there are several reasons to use volumetric mixer trucks for the job.  

Below, this team shares a brief guide to a few important facts you should know about volumetric mixer trucks:

• Function: Unlike other service vehicles used by concrete suppliers, each material is loaded into its own designated compartment in the volumetric mixer truck. The materials are placed in a mixer secured to the truck. The truck is then transported to the job location to be prepared.   
• Capabilities: Volumetric mixing trucks are used for a wide range of applications, including the production of specialty concrete with specific strengths, load weight, color, and performance properties. 
• Benefits: Volumetric mixer trucks are engineered to calculate the exact proportions, or volume, of each ingredient needed to create the desired concrete mixture. Using these precise calculations adds to the strength and durability of the finished product. As well, no short load fees are applicable since the mixer will produce the exact amount of concrete needed for the project.
