Want to Make the Perfect Mix this Easter?

The Easter Bank Holiday is finally here four days away from work for many of us and with the warmer weather starting to arrive, now is the perfect time to get to work on some of those outside DIY projects you’ve been meaning to do for a while.

And us Brits just love to do DIY ourselves, with our can-do attitude and determination there is nothing more satisfying than getting the job done to show off our DIY skills.

If you want to build a large driveway, or maybe even creating a concrete pad then you are going to need one of these, an electric cement mixer, also known as a concrete mixer. Using an electric cement mixer will help to mix a full barrow of your chosen mix and will save you time and money.

Speedy recommend the Altrad Belle Minimix 150 tip-up concrete mixer 110V, 55.5KG, this mixer is built for site durability, they are quality, portable mixers ideal for all small to medium building projects. The mixer has attached to two wheels, which is helpful when you’re moving your mixer into position or mixing and tipping concrete directly into a particular area. However, if you need to tip the concrete into a wheelbarrow, you’re going to need to use the stand.

This cement mixer is really heavy, so if you need to lift it onto the stand, make sure you get someone to help, it’s also really important that you wear the correct PPE when operating this piece of equipment, eye protection, safety boots, gloves and a dust mask are essential. Any PPE you require can be purchased from Speedy.
