It's all in the Mix this Easter

Want to Make the Perfect Mix this Easter?

The Easter Bank Holiday is finally here, 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.

If you want to build a driveway, a new patio, or build a base for a new shed, then you are going to need 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. You can hire cement mixers from Speedy Hire online and in local depots.

Speedy recommends the Altrad Belle Minimix 150 tip-up concrete mixer, built for site durability, ideal for all small to medium building projects. The mixer is 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.

Features and Benefits of a Cement Mixer

Mixes a full barrow load of concrete or mortar.
Full thermal overload protection.

Extra thick drum with quick mix paddles.
Heavy-duty sealed cast gearbox for longer life.

HIRE A CEMENT MIXER!

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.
