How to choose used concrete mixer trucks for sale

Not a few people want to invest in a concrete mixer truck, but they lack enough money to afford a new set. In such a case used concrete mixer trucks for sale is a good choice. However, it takes skills to choose a really cost effective one. Here are some tips.

First, choose concrete mixer trucks of well-known brands. Both international and home brands are acceptable, as long as you are sure about their reliability. If a mixer truck keeps good performances after a few years of working, it’s much more worth buying than those of poor properties, because it’s possible that you will be still able to sell it again at a good price in the future. Generally speaking, an expensive concrete truck for sale from a large supplier is a better choice than a cheap truck from a supplier with little fame, because large manufacturers usually supply excellent after-sales service, which spares you from lots of trouble in maintenance.

Second, choose a suitable model. Although the 6m3 concrete mixer truck is a standard model in global market, trucks of larger capacities prove to be more popular. There are usually 12 tires, and you’d better choose those with 4 tires in the front while 8 at the back, because it holds a bigger volume and costs the same in maintenance as that of other models. Turning easily, it’s especially suitable for narrow projects in the countryside and mountain area. Tunnel projects should be equipped with concrete mixer trucks of smaller volumes like 8m3 or 10m3.

Last, pay attention to the service life of used concrete mixer trucks for sale. You would rather buy a truck that has worked for 5 years than buy one which has worked for 7 years, because the latter is near to its expire date.
