We have a volumetric lorry fleet which provides a number of benefits that are passed onto our clients, who are not just in the immediately Crawley vicinity, but in other areas including Brighton, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Horley and Horsham. A volumetric lorry holds all the raw materials required to make site mixed concrete on demand, and our team can alter the ratio of sand and gravel to water and dry cement. This allows us to determine the strength and consistency of the concrete, tailoring it to the task at hand.
The Right Amount β A volumetric lorry allows our team to provide a steady-stream of concrete until the task is complete. If you buy pre-mixed concrete, you have to estimate the amount needed with the information you have to hand. This can mean you buy too much or too little, affecting margins and time of completion, or leading to a certain amount of avoidable waste.
A Tailored Concrete Mix β Pre-purchasing concrete also means you have to select a mix you believe will have the right characteristics for the job at hand. But sometimes, the information you previously had received from a client can change, or the demands of the project might change; you need to be prepared to adapt and use a concrete mix that will have the correct attributes, such as the amount or nature of load itβs to bare. A volumetric lorry gives clients around Crawley, Brighton, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Horley and Horsham that flexibility.
Efficiency & Costs β Another key benefit of using a volumetric lorry, rather than mixing concrete by hand, is that while fresh concrete is being laid, the next batch is already being produced. This can help you save a significant amount of time on a project when compared with mixing concrete by hand, as and when tools and receptacles become available. In turn, this can significantly reduce labour costs.
