When you’re comparing concrete mixers, the purchase price is only one part of the decision.

Where was the equipment fabricated? What work happens after it arrives in the U.S.? Are the axles, brakes, tires, wheels, hitch, and frame properly rated? And when you need parts or service, who will actually be there to help?

Our latest blog, “Know What You’re Buying: 7 Questions Every Concrete Mixer Buyer Should Ask,” gives buyers a practical checklist for looking beyond the price tag and understanding exactly what they’re purchasing.

Before you invest, know the right questions to ask.

What happens when the ready-mix truck can’t get there?

For remote construction, the biggest concrete challenge often isn’t the pour—it’s access.

Mountains, mines, military sites, isolated developments, and rugged terrain can put a project well beyond conventional ready-mix delivery. That’s why Cart-Away builds concrete systems designed to bring production to the project.

From CUBE 150 and CUBE 300 systems to 3 to 9-yard skid mixers, military-proven equipment, and tracked mixers, there are options for getting concrete production where traditional trucks can’t go.

The road may end. Your ability to produce concrete doesn’t have to.

Your rental yard already has the customers. Why send their concrete business somewhere else?

Contractors, landscapers, property owners, and DIY customers come to rental yards for the equipment they need to get projects done. Many of those same projects also require concrete.

Adding short-load concrete can turn that existing demand into a new profit center—while creating opportunities for additional equipment rentals and sales along the way.

With Cart-Away, rental companies can build a concrete operation around a model they already understand: invest in productive equipment, serve local demand, and keep assets generating revenue.

And the aggregate side? It's a simple process.

See how concrete can help you get more from your rental yard—and ask us about a complimentary market analysis for your area.

Another shipment is leaving the Cart-Away factory.

While some businesses are slowing down, **concrete still needs to get poured.

Short-load concrete serves the jobs the big ready-mix trucks often don’t want—or simply can’t serve efficiently: smaller pours, tight schedules, remote locations, contractors, homeowners, repairs, and specialty projects.

That creates an opportunity for entrepreneurs looking for a business built around a product their local market already needs.

Own the equipment. Build your customer base. Control your future.

If you’ve been thinking about adding a new revenue stream—or getting into the concrete industry—maybe it’s time to take a serious look at short-load concrete.

Another Cart-Away system is heading out the door.

Your crew is ready. Is your concrete?

When a ready-mix truck runs 45 minutes late, the cost goes far beyond the concrete itself. Crews sit idle, equipment stops moving, and one delayed delivery can affect the rest of the day's schedule.

For contractors who regularly need smaller quantities, the challenge can be even greater. Small orders may become an afterthought when plants are prioritizing larger loads.

In our latest blog, Own the Schedule: How Contractors Are Taking Control of Concrete Production, we look at how MixKing trailer mixers, multi-trailer fleets, loading systems, and portable batching equipment can give contractors greater control over when and how much concrete they produce.

Stop scheduling your crews around the concrete truck. Own the schedule.

Every minute your crew waits on a ready-mix delivery is money lost.

Late deliveries, idle labor, and scheduling delays can quickly turn profitable projects into costly ones. That's why more contractors are bringing concrete production on-site—giving them greater control over scheduling, quality, and project costs.

Our latest blog, Solid Solutions for Concrete Control, explores how portable concrete production systems help contractors reduce delays, improve efficiency, and increase profitability on projects of every size.

Discover how taking control of your concrete can help you take control of your bottom line.

Why are more public works departments investing in portable concrete mixers?

For municipalities, many concrete jobs don't require a full ready-mix truck—but they still require crews, scheduling, and getting repairs completed on time.

From sidewalk repairs and utility restoration to sign foundations and park improvements, waiting on outside concrete deliveries for small jobs can slow projects, increase costs, and reduce productivity.

In our newest article, we explore how portable concrete production gives public works departments greater control over their daily operations by allowing crews to produce concrete on demand. We also discuss when portable mixers make sense, when traditional ready-mix is still the best option, and how municipalities across North America are using Cart-Away equipment to keep projects moving.

If you're evaluating equipment for your fleet or looking for a smarter way to handle routine concrete work, this article is worth the read.

MixKing 100 or MixKing 175? Which concrete mixing trailer is right for your business?

The answer depends on the type of work you do.

The MixKing 100 is the proven one-yard workhorse, ideal for rental fleets, municipalities, utility work, sidewalks, and contractors who want maximum versatility with a trailer that can be towed by most half-ton pickups.

The MixKing 175 delivers 1.75 cubic yards of capacity for larger rental fleets, commercial pours, heavier municipal projects, and contractors who want to produce more concrete with fewer batches.

No matter which model you choose, every Cart-Away MixKing is proudly engineered and manufactured in Salem, Oregon using heavy-duty steel frames, our proven direct hydraulic drive system, premium components, and over 30 years of real-world innovation. Many of our original trailers from the early 1990s are still producing concrete today.
