Why Our New Technology Matters for Your Site
Our long-standing 20-year partnership with Cementech has culminated in the delivery of our new, bespoke MS-2 Mixer. We have paired this industry-leading technology with high-manoeuvrability Scania Tridem rear-steer units. In this blog we explain why our fleet investment means better concrete for you. We invest in the best equipment so that you can build with total confidence.
At Custom Concrete, we have spent two decades developing our volumetric concrete service to meet the needs of our customers across Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. We chose the latest additions to our fleet because they allow us to access restricted sites with ease while delivering a consistent concrete mix that is perfectly tailored to your requirements.
Custom Concrete’s Industry-Leading Volumetric Tech
Last year we took delivery of our first Cementech MS-2 Mixer, only the second in the country which is the latest version supplied by the manufacturer Cementech. We have been using the Cementech brand for over 20 years and they have tailored the MS-2 with several bespoke options to suit our requirements.
Why our tech-led approach matters for your project:
- Superior Augur Operation – The MS-2’s advanced mixing system ensures every aggregate is perfectly coated, resulting in a stronger, more durable finished product.
- Direct Control on the Ground – The MS-2’s remote operation means your operator has a clear overview of the pouring area at all times. By moving around the site with a handheld unit, they can spot hazards or positioning issues that may not previously have been visible.
- Multiple Mix Designs – Operators are able to adjust the mix consistency with ease to suit the customers’ requirements. We can also switch the mix design to suit the needs of your project.
- Proven Expertise – You benefit from a machine that is the latest version from the global leader in volumetric mixing, backed by our 20 years of hands-on experience.
How Our Scania Trucks Beat Site Restrictions
If you are a renovator or self-builder, you’ve probably had moments of anxiety about whether a heavy concrete truck will be able to reach your footings. By mounting our Cementech mixers on Scania Tridem rear-steer chassis, we’ve created a fleet that can deal with restricted spaces.
What this means for your build:
- Access to Restricted Sites – We can deliver to sites with limited swing-room or those tucked away down narrow roads and lanes.
- Reduced Manual Labour – By getting the truck closer to the pour, we reduce the distance your team has to move the material.
- Increased Site Safety – Better manoeuvrability means fewer multi-point turns in cramped areas.
- Expert Driver Control – Our drivers and customers have given us great feedback on the Scania units because they enable a first-time placement when we arrive.
Volumetric Concrete Frequently Asked Questions
With over two decades as suppliers of mix on-site questions, we know the questions that crop up again and again. Here are some of our answers.
It improves it. Traditional drum mixers start the chemical reaction the moment they leave the depot, meaning the concrete can “tighten” in traffic. Our Cementech MS-2 only starts the mix the moment we arrive, giving you the full working time and maximum strength for every cubic metre.
We carry out regular calibrations on all our units, backed by Cementech’s latest digital sensors. This ensures the mix design you order is exactly what is delivered.
No, our trucks are fully self-sufficient. Every unit in our fleet carries its own water supply and all the necessary raw materials. We arrive ready to pour immediately, allowing your team to focus on the pour.
Delivering The Industry’s Most Precise Concrete
Every build has its challenges, from tight access to multiple mix requirements. We’ve invested in this new fleet to remove those obstacles. Let us bring twenty years of expertise and the latest in volumetric technology to your site.
