Concrete pump & concrete mixer truck

Concrete pump & concrete mixer truck hire in South Africa

Updated 4 November 2026

In South Africa a concrete pump with a mixer truck is usually quoted per job, and the online price lists show what the equipment costs to buy: from about R 129,950 for a drum mixer to R 3,392,500 for a 2023 truck-mounted pump. For a hire price that fits your pour, send a request on BlaBlaPrice, and sellers reply in the chat with their own price and terms.

These are prices for buying, shown to give the scale of the equipment. A hire is quoted by the job or by the day, depending on the operator, and the figure depends on the volume and the boom reach, so ask which one applies.

What to check before the truck arrives

Inspect any concrete pump truck before you commit, and check the price and that the equipment is legal to run within South Africa. Ask for the boom reach in metres and the output in cubic metres per hour; one seller lists a mixer at 38 to 45 m³ per hour.

The driver matters too. Job advertisements for concrete mixer trucks ask for a Code 14 truck driving licence and at least three years' driving experience on concrete mixers, so ask who will drive and whether they hold that licence.

Season and timing

Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August, so a pour booked for the summer months and one booked for June to August fall in different seasons. Name the exact date in the request, because the operator schedules the truck and crew around a fixed date.

How hire is delivered and quoted

Give the full site address and city, because the travel to the site affects the offer. The main cities for this request are Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria and Gqeberha, but name any other town too. Use metric units: concrete volume in cubic metres (m³), boom reach in metres and output in m³ per hour. Ask whether prices include VAT, since one mixer is listed at R 394,550 excluding VAT.

What to put in your request

Tell the operator the equipment (pump, mixer or both), the concrete volume in m³, what you are pouring, the boom reach, the number of days, the site access, the date, the site address and whether you want a price for the pump, the mixer or the whole job.
