Concrete mixer trucks (ready-mix lorries) are specialist heavy goods vehicles used to transport and mix concrete to construction sites. With the mixer drum, water tank and discharge chute integrated into the vehicle, they represent a significant capital investment - typically £120,000–£200,000 for a new 8m³ mixer on a 32t 8-wheel chassis. Doulton Bridging Finance works with specialist HGV lenders comfortable with the ready-mix sector.

Common mixer chassis include the Volvo FMX (construction-focused), Mercedes-Benz Actros 32t, DAF CF 32t and MAN TGS. Mixer drums are supplied by Stetter, Schwing and other European manufacturers.
Are concrete mixer trucks harder to finance than standard trucks?
They are specialist assets with a narrower buyer pool for used vehicles, which affects residual values. Some mainstream lenders are less comfortable with mixers. We work with specialist lenders who understand the ready-mix sector.
Can I refinance my current concrete mixer fleet?
Yes. Sale and leaseback allows you to release equity from mixers you own outright. We can arrange this if the assets are under 10 years old and in good condition.
Is the mixer drum financed with the chassis?
Yes - the complete vehicle including drum and all ancillaries is financed as one asset. The body builder invoice from the drum manufacturer is included in the finance package.
