That’s a very good question, and one that I am often asked. I think I heard it in our booth recently at the World of Concrete Show about a dozen or more times. I guess the best way to describe it is that Cart-Away portable concrete is a solution for small loads of concrete. Some
Cube 150 in Action “We originally planned to have two mixers working on this project. But the C.U.B.E. 150 proved to be so efficient we sent the other mixer back” Moses Hernandez Classic Tejas Construction “We can produce 25 to 30 tons of mix each day with the C.U.B.E. 150 This allows our
Cube 150 Field Tests The C.U.B.E. 150 Passes Some Tough Testing! Even though the components used in the new C.U.B.E. 150 have been in rental duty for over 15-years, we wanted to put this equipment to some rigorous testing. There are units being field-tested in California and Oregon. These won’t look as pretty as your
Indoor Roping Arena Column Supports. Total yards to be produced by the C.U.B.E. 150 = 98 yards The reason for the use of the C.U.B.E. 150 was to reduce the cost of ready-mix at this remote site. The contractor did the excavating and forming with four men and intended on using all four for the
Mining Application: Total Project = 98 yards The Teck Cominco Mine in Northern Washington needed several concrete slabs poured approximately 7.5 miles underground. They tried a contractor mixer and 80# pre-mixed bags of concrete. But with about 100 yards to pour, it became apparent that they would never make their deadlines and would wear-out several
Resort Construction in the Bahamas A contractor building a resort on a remote island had a problem producing concrete for footings and grouting block. No ready-mix availability meant using a 1/3 yard portable mixer and losing valuable time. In addition, he could not get the consistent concrete strength that was demanded for the project. Using
written by W.B.King; It takes approximately 188 shovels full of pre-mixed sand and gravel to create a yard of concrete, a thought heavy enough to cause back pain—which is why technological advancements are welcome innovations within the industry. When it comes to mixing concrete, every step from mix to pour to form has a dollar
Barnard Construction uses big cement mixer on reservoir expansion The Los Vaqueros Reservoir in California is being expanded. The reservoir's capacity will grow from 100,000 acre-feet to 160,000 acre-feet. The dam will increase in height by 34 feet. The project will cost $120 million and will be completed in 2012. Barnard Construction is the contractor on the project
Brake actuators provide solid stopping power for a concrete mixing trailer I’ve posted about towing a cement mixer and the various types of couplers. In the larger models of concrete mixing trailers (Cart-Away’s CMT-100 and CMK-175, Trailer Haul's MT125, Concrete Titan, etc) I’ve mentioned the brake actuator, but never explained what that does and why one doesn’t
Starting A Trailer Based Ready Mix Company Location, location, location. The first rule in opening a business, right? Well, it’s even true for a trailer based concrete yard, just not, in the same way, it’s true for, say, a coffee shop. You want your coffee shop in a well-trafficked area where people will see it
