3 cu yd
A towable trailer with a mixing drum: you load it, tow it to the job behind a pickup, and mix concrete where you are standing. Models run 1 to 3 cubic yards per batch and tow at 18,000 GVWR — a one-ton pickup, not a half-ton, which is the most common mistake buyers make. For contractors pouring small volumes, the short-load fees a ready-mix supplier charges are usually what pays for the machine.
Towable concrete mixer trailers engineered for contractors who need concrete on demand without short-load fees. Pull to the job with a pickup, batch, and pour — from 1 to 3 cubic yards. How financing works →

A towable trailer with a mixing drum on it. You load the materials, tow it to the job behind a pickup, and mix concrete where you are standing. These run from 1 to 3 cubic yards and tow at 18,000 GVWR — a one-ton pickup pulls them.
It is the smallest machine in concrete production and, for a lot of contractors, the one that pays back fastest. Not because it makes concrete cheaply — per yard, it does not beat a ready-mix truck — but because it removes an entire category of cost that has nothing to do with the price of concrete.
Ready-mix is priced around full loads, because a truck is a truck whether it carries nine yards or one. Order a small pour and the surcharge lands on top: the short-load or minimum-load fee. Nobody notices it on a single invoice. It shows up when you add a year of them together.
The honest way to run this: pull your last twelve months of ready-mix invoices and add up only the short-load and minimum charges — not the concrete, just the surcharges. Then add the waiting time your crew billed while a truck was late, and the pours you priced high or turned down because a small delivery was not worth the hassle. Compare that number to the payment on the estimator above. For contractors doing regular small pours, the surcharge line alone often covers most of the machine.
Two more things a mixer trailer buys you that do not show on an invoice:
Three sizes, and the choice is mostly about how often you want to reload rather than how much concrete you can theoretically place:
On towing: these are rated to 18,000 GVWR, which means a one-ton pickup, not a half-ton. Check your truck's actual tow and payload rating before you buy — a mixer you cannot legally pull to the job is an expensive yard ornament, and it is the single most common mistake on this purchase.
Concrete equipment is a textbook financing case: it is a hard asset that holds its value, so the machine carries much of the credit decision itself rather than resting entirely on your balance sheet. That is what puts it in reach of a growing contractor and not only the biggest yards. Terms are normally structured to the life of the equipment, so the payment sits against the work it wins you. Mix Right sells through quotes rather than a published price list, so get the quote for the exact configuration you want, then use the estimator above to see what that becomes as a monthly payment. Approvals commonly come back in about 24 hours.
A surcharge ready-mix suppliers add when you order less than a full load, because sending a truck costs them roughly the same whether it carries one yard or nine. The amount varies by supplier and market, so check your own invoices — contractors who pour small volumes are often surprised by the annual total, and that total is usually the real case for owning a mixer.
These are rated at 18,000 GVWR, which puts them behind a one-ton pickup rather than a half-ton. Confirm your truck's tow and payload ratings before purchase. It is the most common mistake buyers make.
From 1 to 3 cubic yards per batch depending on the model. Your practical output is a question of how fast you can reload it, so pick the batch size that matches your typical pour rather than your largest one.
Yes. It finances as equipment, asset-based, with terms set to the life of the machine. Get the quote from Mix Right and use the estimator above to see the payment. Approvals commonly come back in about 24 hours.
