Concrete producers that are looking to expand into City Markets are finding it more difficult to locate available property that is zoned for Concrete Ready Mix production.  With the increase availability of Commercial Warehouse space, some entrepreneurs are locating Mobile Concrete Batch Plants inside of existing buildings.  High production mobile batch plants today can have a low overall height of 23’-0” and include self-erect hydraulics that allow the ease of erecting a new plant without a lot of installation costs.  Batch Plants with radial stacking conveyors can be easily backed in and installed over a 3-5 day period.  Receiving Concrete Mixer Trucks are backed into the warehouse through standard roll-up doors and are charged the raw ingredients for Concrete.  Keeping the front half of the mixer truck outside of the warehouse eliminates the need for extensive exhaust of the warehouse.  The back half of the truck were material is charged into the mixer drum incorporates 5,500 CFM dust collector and shroud that recycles the collected dust back into fresh concrete.  The warehouse also reduces the amount of sound and light needed to operate a concrete batch plant operation.

Some typical warehouse producers operate a 10-15 concrete mixer truck fleet from a standard warehouse configuration.
