FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a drum mixer and a volumetric mixer?
A drum mixer carries pre-mixed concrete and discharges it on site. A volumetric mixer carries dry materials and water separately, mixing to order on site. Volumetric mixers are more complex assets; most lenders can handle both.
Can I finance a Putzmeister or similar compact mixer?
Yes. Compact transit mixers from Putzmeister, Liebherr and others are financeable assets. They command good residual values due to their versatility.
Do I need a special licence to operate a concrete mixer truck?
Vehicles over 3.5t require a Category C (HGV) licence. Full 6-axle drum mixers require Category C+E. An operator's licence is also required for commercial operation.
Can I finance a concrete mixer truck for a start-up business?
Start-up operators can access finance with a sufficient deposit (typically 20-30%) and strong personal credit. Evidence of contracts or letters of intent from customers strengthens the application.
How long does concrete mixer truck finance take to arrange?
Most decisions are made within 48 hours. Having full vehicle details, your operator's licence and 3 months bank statements ready speeds the process.
