What type of mix is used for small jobs where a larger truck cannot access the site?

A short load mix is specifically designed for smaller concrete jobs where it might be difficult or impossible for a larger concrete truck to access the site. This type of mix is typically delivered in smaller quantities, often tailored to meet the immediate needs of the construction project.

Short load mixes allow contractors to order only the exact amount of concrete needed, reducing waste and ensuring that the concrete can be mixed and delivered fresh for small projects. This is particularly advantageous in residential or tight urban environments where space constraints prevent the use of standard-sized trucks.

In contrast, other types of mixes, like small batch mix or transit mix, may be designed for slightly different applications, larger quantities, or specific mixing and delivery methods that aren’t as suitable for constrained access. Delivered mix generally refers to concrete that can be brought to a site but may not address the unique challenges of access that a short load mix handles effectively.
