Concrete mixer trucks in Canada: buying, leasing and specs

Updated 4 November 2026

Few sellers publish prices for full-size concrete mixer trucks online. The only two truck prices in Canadian results from machinery suppliers sit at about CA$60,000 and CA$71,000, and most other results are model toys. For a current quote for your job, describe it in a free request on BlaBlaPrice.

• Drum capacity in cubic metres (m³); standard mixers typically hold 5 to 12 m³.
• Condition, year and mileage for a used truck.
• Chassis and axle layout, which local weight and length rules help determine.
• Buying or leasing, and the lease term.
• The city where the truck will work and whether delivery is included.

Sellers usually quote per job or per lease period, so state how many months or pours you expect.

Weight, length and certification

Local weight and length regulations shape how a mixer is built, since they set the axle spacing and wheelbase, so check the truck against the rules where it will drive. Seasonal load restrictions of 5,000 kg per axle reduce what a standard truck can carry, and a concrete industry body notes that a 9 m³ load shrinks when they apply. The City of Toronto's concrete material specification (TS 1350) defines a truck mixer, so Toronto buyers can check the wording against the city's rules. Some concrete producers also inspect each truck mixer under their certification, so ask your supplier which trucks it accepts.

Season: winter and the spring thaw

Winter, from December to February, slows concrete pours, and in spring seasonal load restrictions can cut how much a truck carries. Plan a purchase or lease start with those months in mind, and treat weather as part of the decision, as buying guides for heavy equipment also stress.

Delivery and units

Trucks are moved by road between Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa, so ask whether the seller delivers to your site and who pays for the transport. Everything is metric, so give drum volume in cubic metres, axle loads in kilograms and length in metres.

What to write in your request

Say whether you want to buy or lease and for how long, the drum capacity you need in m³, and the chassis and year. For a used truck, add the mileage and condition, name the city, and give your budget in CA$. Say whether the truck is for one pour or regular supply, so sellers can quote per job or per lease period.

Describing the job on BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Write it in your own words in a chat, with a photo if it helps. The AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Canada, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them. If you also need a pump for the pour, see concrete pumps.
