Self Loading Concrete Mixer

Self-loading mobile concrete mixer is a kind of concrete mixer that can complete the whole process of loading, weighing, mixing, transportation and unloading by itself, which is equivalent to a small mobile concrete batching plant. The machine is easy to operate, practical and simple. Designed for efficiency and convenience, it combines multiple functions in one unit to streamline concrete production on site.

Self Loading Concrete Mixer machine is widely used in construction projects, road maintenance, and small to medium-sized building works. Its compact design and mobility allow it to operate in various terrains, making it an ideal choice for remote or urban job sites. With low maintenance requirements and reliable performance, the self-loading concrete mixer helps reduce labor costs and improve overall productivity.

Mixing Capacity:
0.6-4.5 m³/batch

Bucket Capacity:
≥0.15-0.7 m³

Features of Self Loader Concrete Mixer

The small self-loader concrete mixer has the characteristics of a narrow body, short wheelbase, small turning radius, and some other personalized design. Thus, it has strong advantages in a working environment of limited height, width, and length. Its mixing drum can rotate 270°. Using the Daswell self-loading concrete mixer, you can unload the concrete materials on all sides without moving. Especially, it is only one person to operate it during the working process. You do not need to spend too much on workers for this project.

Self Loader concrete mixer is the most popular concrete mixer machine in our company. You can use it for dry concrete mixing, plastic concrete, and fluid concrete construction across various industrial and civil engineering projects.

Self Loader concrete mixer is ideal for construction engineering, municipal works, highways, bridges, urban and rural road projects, as well as prefabrication plants and small precast component factories.

Four Functions in One Machine

With four integrated functions—loading, weighing, mixing, and discharging—this machine greatly improves efficiency, reduces labor, and ensures consistent concrete quality on-site.

1️⃣: Loading

The self-loading concrete mixer is equipped with a loading bucket and weighing function, which can automatically load and weigh the required raw materials (cement, aggregates, and water) into the mixing drum according to the optimal mixing ratio.

2️⃣: Mixing

Once loaded, the drum rotates at a designated mixing speed to ensure a uniform, high-quality concrete mixture.


3️⃣: Transporting

The mixer is self-driven and can transport the mixed concrete directly to the construction site or pouring location.


4️⃣: Discharging

Upon arrival, the machine discharges the concrete through an integrated chute or other mechanisms, ensuring efficient and precise placement.

How Does Self Loading Concrete Mixer Work?

A self-loading concrete mixer is an all-in-one machine that streamlines the concrete production process. It starts by using its hydraulic shovel to load raw materials like cement, sand, and aggregates into the mixing drum. Then, it automatically weighs the materials and adds water according to the preset ratio. The drum mixes the materials while the machine is on the move. Once the concrete is ready, it can be transported directly to the job site and discharged through the chute.

Advantages Over Traditional Concrete Mixers

Traditional Concrete Mixing Workflow (Before)

In traditional on-site concrete production, completing a single batch of concrete typically involves multiple machines, operators, and manual coordination. Here’s how the process usually works:

2. Loading

Machine: Wheel Loader

Operator: Loader Operator

Raw materials like sand, gravel, and cement are manually loaded by a wheel loader into a batching plant or a standalone mixer.

2. Weighing

Machine: Batching Plant or Manual Scale

Operator: Mixer/Batching Operator

Materials must be carefully weighed to ensure the correct mix proportions. This step often requires close attention and manual checks.

3. Mixing

Machine: Concrete Mixer Truck or Stationary Mixer

Operator: Mixer Operator

The materials are then transferred to a separate mixing machine or truck. The operator ensures uniform mixing before transport.

4. Transport & Discharging

Machine: Concrete Pump or Mixer Truck

Operator: Pump Operator

Support: 1–2 General Laborers

The mixed concrete is either pumped to the pouring site or driven in a mixer truck and discharged manually.

Total Time & Labor Required

Machines Involved: 4 (Loader, Batching Plant, Mixer Truck, Pump)

Personnel Required: At least 4–5 people

Time Consumption: High — due to equipment transfer, material handling, and coordination delays.

Now: One Self Loading Concrete Mixer Does It All

Daswell Self Loading Concrete Mixer simplifies the entire workflow by integrating four key steps into one smart machine:

Loading – Built-in loading bucket for raw materials

Weighing – On-board electronic weighing system
