Preventive maintenance yields high resale value for portable concrete mixers

Cart-Away portable concrete mixers are built to provide years of quality service. They are designed with the rental market in mind, so they last for years. The 1-yard mixer trailer has been around since 1993 and thousands are working in construction every day.  Over the years some people have seen the value of maintaining their equipment more than others. Below is an example of what great preventive maintenance can produce.
