A concrete mixer for sale for a low price need not come at the expense of quality, especially not when buying from BS Power. This article will point out a few key tips for helping maximise both cost savings and long-term value for prospective concrete mixer buyers.

 

Finding The Right Concrete Mixer For Your Project Size

 

There is one crucial first step to take when one is booking to buy a concrete mixer at a reasonable rate, while still ensuring that it has the capacity to perform the necessary work. That is to clearly set out what your requirements for this concrete mixer are. Concrete mixers come in all shapes and sizes, with a range of power outputs. If you’re contracted to help build a massive hydroelectric dam, or set the foundation for a large factory, you’re going to need some of the largest mixers on the market– capable of churning hundreds of litres of concrete at a time.

 

However, it could very well be that you only need this concrete mixer for small to medium-scale tasks. Perhaps you’re looking to repair your porch after storm damage, try to make some DIY furniture, or create a new driveway. In this latter case, you’re going to want to purchase a smaller concrete mixer with a reliable but moderately powered engine.

 

It might be tempting to secure the biggest and the best of what’s on offer but remember that even smaller mixers are still capable of tremendous power. Homeowners and DIY enthusiasts should browse BS Power’s selection of small and electric-powered mixers to purchase a model capable of handling household tasks without demanding too steep a cost.

 

 

Why A BS Power Concrete Mixer For Sale Delivers Better Long-Term Value

 

When you’re on a budget– especially a tight one– it can be hard to look past the initial cost of any purchase. As you’re browsing for the right concrete mixer for sale, you very well may be tempted to simply select the cheapest one and call it a day, secure in the thought that you’ve saved yourself a chunk of money on the purchase.

 

The unfortunate truth is that cheapness often comes at additional costs that only make themselves apparent later down the line. For one, their performance might be lacking, reducing productivity and causing frustration. Their lack of reliable performance and resulting loss of productivity costs unto itself, but it doesn’t end there.

 

Manufacturers can often afford to sell their products at low rates because they compromise on build quality, using low-quality materials and poor design. This leads to subpar durability, with the low-cost concrete mixer frequently encountering performance issues, damage, or breakdowns. Not only does this cause costly downtime, but it also demands frequent repair and replacement costs. BS Power supplies machines that stand in strong contrast to these issues. We provide high-quality mixers known not only for their performance, but also their durability.

 

Moreover, they’re all protected by a premium after-sales support system that oversees the speedy repair or replacement of any damaged or faulty concrete mixers. Yet these benefits do not come attached to an exorbitant rate. Despite our outstanding quality, we aim to offer our products at affordable rates for South African businesses and individuals.

 

 

Comparing New Vs Used Concrete Mixer For Sale Options

 

One of the best ways to secure affordable items in virtually any category is to buy them secondhand. Pre-used goods vary in quality, but almost always come at significantly lower rates than when bought new. A thrifty individual can save themselves heaps of money by buying secondhand, while also helping to reduce material waste by supporting recycling. Yet even the most ardent supporter of secondhand buying would readily admit that the trick to it is to know when secondhand suffices and when store-bought is necessary.

 

Do not rely on the purchase of used goods when the performance and longevity of that item are of great importance to you. Also, keep in mind that secondhand items composed of many moving or technical parts are liable to be less reliable. A secondhand sledgehammer, saw, or welding mask? These all ought to provide their latest owner with great performance, granted that they’re still in good enough condition. But a used concrete mixer for sale is an unpredictable and risky buy, as likely to end up backfiring as it is to succeed. In the (sadly likely) scenario that a used concrete mixer gives its user issues; any savings made during the initial purpose would become obsolete when one factors in the cost of repair or replacement. To save oneself the cost, time, and stress of dealing with this issue, we recommend you purchase your concrete mixers new. With a new concrete mixer from BS Power, you’ll also be able to benefit from our customer sales support, which helps you troubleshoot, repair, and replace in the case of any damage or malfunction. Support like this is lacking for secondhand purchases, reducing overall value significantly.

 

Avoiding Cheap Imports When Choosing A Concrete Mixer

 

Often, when looking for cheap products, one can reliably find low-cost deals by sourcing from imported goods. Manufacturing titans such as China make a point of tackling the international goods market through the provision of low-cost goods that undercut even locally made goods within a specific country.

 

For a long time, the label ‘Made in China’ came with the association of low quality, but steady improvements within the Chinese manufacturing industry have slowly begun to change this. This means that these low-cost foreign imports aren’t as likely to be of low quality as they once were. Yet, we still wouldn’t always recommend looking for a cheap new foreign import concrete mixer. That’s because these kinds of products are designed to be as generally applied as possible, without any particular specialisation.

 

In South Africa, this can present a number of issues. Our country is by no means a tame country in any sense of the world, with a physical terrain and climate that can be particularly demanding on construction equipment. BS Power supplies the South African market with machines that have been specifically selected for their suitability to the local terrain and weather.

 

Hot sun, uneven terrain, dust, rain, dense brush, and remote work sites are all obstacles that have been planned ahead for in BS Power concrete mixer designs. What we offer South African on a budget are affordably priced, high-quality machines that are built to last in our landscape, providing the maximum long-term performance, lifespan, and value.

 

Maintenance Tips That Protect Your Concrete Mixer Investment

 

No matter whether you’re an involved homeowner, passionate DIYer, or a professional contractor, you’re going to get the best deal from your concrete mixer for sale if you take good care of it. Routine inspection and maintenance need not be complex tasks, but they are essential in keeping one’s investment in working order. The basic care routine for any concrete mixer begins with washing it after use, ensuring that the interior of the drum is free of any cement following use.

 

Having leftover cement harden within the drum isn’t good for the mixer, leading to reduced performance or even damage. Use a stiff-bristle brush, high-power hose, or a cement solvent solution for particularly stubborn pieces of residue. Cleaning the mixer gives one the perfect opportunity to conduct an inspection, looking for any signs of damage or loose parts. Take this time to check on the mixer’s moving parts, ensuring that they’re well-oiled and mobile.

 

When the concrete mixer isn’t being used, you’re going to want to store it somewhere dry, with a tarp covering it to protect it from the elements. This is doubly important if the mixer is being stored anywhere near the ocean, as the presence of corrosive sea mist can wreak havoc on the lifespan of tools, even as heavy-duty as a concrete mixer. Perform this basic and easy routine with regularity, and you’ll drastically extend the lifespan of your mixer, meaning that you’re going to have to spend less money on repairs or replacements.

 

Transport And Storage Features To Look For In A Concrete Mixer

 

High mobility is a feature that exists in concrete mixers that most would recognise as something that increases convenience, yet not necessarily as one that helps to save costs. The mobility of any given mixer will hinge on a number of factors, including frame strength, compact design, and, most importantly, the presence of wheels.

 

BS Power concrete mixers are designed to move around the rugged conditions of the South African worksite without issue, providing outstanding performance even at the roughest and remotest sites. Yet the compact and ergonomic designs of our mixers make them navigable not only within a site, but also to a site. In other words, our mixers can be easily loaded and carried even in smaller vehicles. What this does is remove the need for extra labourers or larger transport to be hired, helping to save on the operational costs of the mixer.
