The idea was to mix concrete and pour it into a bath-tub on wheels so that the material could be towed to a jobsite. The problems with these trailers are many. The material settles in transit. That means that what was concrete when poured into the trailer becomes a settled mess of sand and gravel on the bottom, water in middle and cement floating on top. If you plan on taking the concrete more than about 3 miles, you should plan on remixing the materials before pouring. The one advantage of the tub-type trailer is that it is cheap. In fact, good used trailers typically bring less than $1000 on the market today. We know of no manufacturer who still has a regular production of a tub trailer. The new style, concrete mixing trailer, pioneered by Cart-A-Crete in the late 80s has all but taken the market from the old style trailers. Since the rotating drum trailers replicate what happens at a typical readymix operation (material is batched into a revolving drum transit mixer), they have all the advantages associated with readymix. Chemicals and fiber can be added to the mix. Concrete can be delivered up to 60 miles from where it was batched. The concrete is completely mixed and requires no remixing at the jobsite. In short, with the new style revolving drum trailers, you get true ready-mix In the past, using old style tub trailers, the quality of concrete was such that the market was limited mostly to do-it-yourselfers. Today's new drum style trailers mean that most of the business is contractors and municipal users. The latest study of the concrete trailer industry indicates that over 60% of today's concrete trailer users are contactors due to the mixing capabilities in a Cart-A-Crete mixing trailer.
