Concrete mixer pumps combine a mixing drum and a pumping unit on one trailer. The power source is usually the first decision buyers have to make.
When diesel makes sense
Remote sites without stable grid power, rural housing projects and jobs where the pump moves often between locations.
When electric makes sense
Urban sites with a reliable three-phase supply, indoor or tunnel work where exhaust is a concern, and projects with long daily running hours where electricity is cheaper than fuel.
- Check the site voltage and frequency before ordering
- Compare fuel and electricity cost per m³
- Ask for the vertical and horizontal pumping distance you need
