A self loading concrete mixer is a multifunctional construction machine that integrates automatic loading, precise weighing, mixing, transportation, and discharging functions into one unit. It combines the capabilities of a loader, mixer, and transporter, eliminating the need for additional equipment such as a loader or batching plant, thus forming an independent and efficient small-scale concrete production system.
This type of mixer is suitable for various construction sites because it can operate in narrow or rugged terrains and requires only one person to operate. It revolutionizes the traditional mode of ready-mix concrete production and transportation by combining the functions of a "small mobile batching plant" and a "concrete mixer truck" into one machine.

- On-site mixing: mixes the materials directly at the construction site to produce ready-mixed concrete.
- Flexible discharge: the mixing drum usually rotates up to 270 degrees, allowing the operator to pour concrete from multiple directions and from heights up to two meters.
- Maneuverability: designed for complex terrain, these mixers feature a four-wheel drive system and a smaller turning radius than traditional concrete mixer trucks, enabling access to hard-to-reach areas.
- On-demand concrete pouring: can precisely pour the required amount of concrete, minimizing waste.
- Operator control: all functions—from loading and mixing to discharging—can be controlled by a single operator, usually via joystick controls.
Components of Self Loading Concrete Mixer Truck
A typical self loading concrete mixer truck usually integrates the following systems:
- Chassis truck: provides power and mobility.
- Loading system: a hydraulic bucket located at the front or side of the vehicle, used for scooping aggregates.
- Aggregate hopper: receives aggregates from the bucket and includes a metering function.
- Cement silo/system: typically a sealed silo equipped with an arch-breaking device and a screw conveyor or pneumatic conveying system to store and measure cement.
- Water tank and metering system: stores and accurately measures the mixing water.
- Mixing drum: similar to that of traditional mixer trucks but often designed for higher mixing efficiency; located at the rear of the vehicle.
- Batching and control system: the core brain. Usually a computer control system with a touchscreen where the operator inputs the mix formula, and the system automatically controls the sequence and weight of each material to ensure concrete quality.
- Hydraulic and power system: provides power for all actions such as loading, conveying, and mixing.

Self Loading Concrete Mixer Truck Working Process
- Preparation: drive the truck to the raw material storage area (one pile of sand, one pile of stone), connect to the bulk cement tanker or fill the onboard silo with cement, and fill the water tank.
- Batching: the operator inputs the required concrete volume and grade on the control panel.
- Loading and weighing: use the bucket to scoop sand and stone in sequence, pour them into the aggregate hopper and weigh automatically; the cement system and water system meter materials precisely according to the formula.
- Feeding and mixing: all raw materials are added to the mixing drum in sequence (usually most aggregates and water first, followed by cement and remaining materials). The drum rotates to mix while the vehicle is driving or parked.
- Transportation and discharge: after mixing is completed, fresh concrete is transported to the pouring point and discharged like a traditional mixer truck.
Differences Between Self Loading Concrete Mixer Truck and Traditional Mixer Truck
| Feature | Traditional Concrete Mixer Truck (Rear-Loading) | Self Loading Concrete Mixer Truck (Front-Loading) |
| Source of Materials | Loads pre-mixed or semi-mixed concrete from a fixed ready-mix concrete batching plant. | Directly loads sand, stone, cement, and water onsite or at a material yard. |
| Loading Method | Receives mixed concrete through the feeding port at the rear of the truck. | Typically uses a hydraulic loading bucket at the front or side to scoop aggregates; cement is conveyed by pneumatic or mechanical systems, and water comes from the onboard water tank. |
| Mixing Function | Main function is transportation and maintaining concrete consistency during transit, preventing solidification or segregation. | Core function is producing concrete from scratch — a complete mixing process. |
| Independence | Highly dependent on batching plants and supporting equipment. | Extremely independent — requires only a raw material storage area and water source. |

Self Loading Concrete Mixer Truck FAQs
How many cubic meters of concrete can a self loading concrete mixer truck load per batch?
The loading capacity varies by model, generally ranging from 2 to 12 cubic meters. For example:
- Small models: 2–4 m³
- Medium models: 4–6 m³
- Large models: 8–12 m³
Users can choose the suitable model based on the project size.
What is the total weight of a 6m³ self loading concrete mixer truck?
The total weight of the 6m³ model is about 12–14 tons (the exact weight varies depending on configuration, engine, and additional attachments).
What is the maximum transportation distance for concrete?
Self loading concrete mixer trucks are designed for short-to-medium distance transport, generally recommended within 50–100 km. For longer distances, it is advisable to use large transit mixer trucks to maintain concrete quality.
What is the drum rotation angle of a Self Loading Mixer Truck?
Most models provide a drum rotation angle of 270°–360°, making it convenient for mixing, discharging, and maneuvering, thereby improving construction efficiency.
Can a Self Loading Concrete Mixer Truck climb slopes or handle rough terrain?
Self loading concrete mixer trucks are equipped with high-torque engines and four-wheel drive or all-terrain tires (depending on the model), enabling safe travel on mild to moderate slopes and uneven ground. Typical performance features include:
- Climbing ability: usually capable of handling slopes of 20°–30°, and some 4WD models can achieve even higher grades.
- Rough terrain capability: equipped with reinforced tires and suspension systems, suitable for gravel roads, muddy construction sites, and light off-road environments.
