Landscapers and hardscapers already work around concrete. Why not make it a more convenient part of the business?

Patios, walkways, footings, curbs, pads, and other concrete work can all be part of a landscape or hardscape project. Having access to portable concrete equipment can help you take greater control of those jobs instead of always scheduling around outside concrete suppliers.

See how concrete could fit into the services you already provide.

More than 35 years of portable concrete innovation—and we’re still building for what comes next.

From our manufacturing operation in Salem, Oregon, to Cart-Away equipment working for contractors, rental companies, municipalities, and concrete professionals around the world, a lot has changed over the years. But our focus on giving customers greater control over their concrete hasn’t.

Take a look back at where we’ve been, how Cart-Away has evolved, and where we’re headed next.

Construction slowed. Our concrete business grew 24%.

That may sound counterintuitive, but small concrete jobs don’t disappear when construction slows. Contractors still pour patios, footings, sidewalks, fence posts, repairs and additions.

What changes is how carefully they spend.

When margins tighten, contractors become less willing to pay ready-mix minimums, buy concrete they don’t need or use valuable crew time mixing bags. They need the right amount of concrete at a price that keeps the job profitable.

That can create an opportunity for local short-load concrete providers—especially businesses that already have a yard, employees, equipment and relationships with contractors.

Our new article explains:

• Why short-load demand can remain strong during a slowdown
• Three ways to enter the market
• The assumptions behind our revenue models
• How to evaluate demand in your area
• The costs and risks to consider before investing

Put Your 2026 Tax Savings to Work

Already planning to expand your concrete operation, replace aging equipment, or increase production capacity? Section 179 could make 2026 a valuable year to invest.

Qualifying businesses may be able to deduct the cost of eligible equipment in the year it is placed in service—including potential investments in CMK and CMT mixer trailers, CBL2 automated loading systems, and larger concrete production equipment.

The key is planning early. Equipment generally needs to be placed in service during 2026, not simply ordered before the end of the year.

Read our new 2026 Section 179 Guide for Concrete Equipment to see how the deduction works, example equipment scenarios, financing considerations, and what to discuss with your tax professional.

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.
