The self loading concrete mixer integrates "loading, mixing, transporting, and unloading" into a single equipment operation. Its built-in bucket can directly scoop up raw materials such as sand, gravel, and cement, which are then sent to the mixing drum via an automatic conveying system. After mixing is completed, there is no need for transshipment—the equipment can be directly driven to the pouring site, and precise unloading is achieved through a rotatable discharge chute.

Most self loading concrete mixers are small to medium-sized models with a capacity of 2-5 tons (some mini models have a body width of only 1.8 meters). Equipped with off-road tires (some models are fitted with a four-wheel drive system), they can easily pass through narrow lanes, muddy roads, and slopes of less than 15 degrees. At the same time, the equipment can be driven directly to the side of the pouring site for unloading, avoiding secondary transshipment. This keeps the concrete segregation rate within 3% and reduces the material waste rate to below 5%.

The self loading concrete mixer realizes "one machine replacing three". There is no need to rent additional loading or transportation equipment. The purchase cost of a single unit is approximately 80,000 to 150,000 yuan (depending on tonnage and configuration), which is only 50%-60% of the cost of a traditional equipment combination. Additionally, the equipment has a low operating threshold—one worker with simple training can complete the entire process of "loading - setting the proportion - mixing - unloading". For long-term construction, it can save more than 40% of labor costs.
