The Advantages of Wheelbarrow Concrete Mixers

Transport and Storage

• In terms of transportation and storage, wheelbarrow concrete or cement mixers are a lot easier to handle and set up than their standing counterparts. Although the legs or frames that support other types of concrete mixers can be collapsed when the machine isn't in use, taking them apart wastes time. Finding space to store a freestanding mixer's support is one of its disadvantages. A wheelbarrow mixer, however, can be loaded directly into a van or tucked away in storage as it is.

Maneuverability

• With a wheelbarrow mixer, you can move your concrete to where it is required without transferring it to a standard wheelbarrow. That feature saves you time and space, and it cuts down on the number of tools needed to do a job involving concrete.

Cost

• Although it's possible to pick up standing concrete mixers fairly cheaply, wheelbarrow concrete mixers are generally a better value. If you compare the price of a standing mixer and a wheelbarrow mixer of similar quality, you'll usually find that the wheelbarrow option is less expensive.

Sturdiness

• Due to their high center of gravity, standing mixers can be prone to toppling over if they're positioned on uneven ground. They also often need to be anchored with large bricks to facilitate pouring mixed concrete from them. Wheelbarrow mixers are more sturdy due to the fact that their weight is distributed over a large area of ground and their center of gravity is much lower than that of standing mixers.
