How many yards of concrete does a truck carry?

Answer 1

"capacity of a concrete truckis,the large usual sixe is 9 yards,the smaller are about 3 yards"

Actually over the years the size of mixer drums has increased

You will notice the large the drum the more axles the truck has plus it depends on what make a mixer it is 1) London 2) Jaeger 3) Rex

The early 3 axle trucks with a rex mixer carried 5 cu yards

That increased to 7 cu yards

London and Jaeger drums carried 8 cu yards

On trucks with 3 axles and a tag (4th axle that trails the truck) carried 12 yards or 10m3

The newer 5 axle trucks usually hold 14-16 cu yards

Please understand that 1 m3 = 1.3 cu yards

1 cu yard/27 cu ft of 20 mpa concrete at a 3" slump weights - 3400 lbs

Hope this helps you

Answer 2

A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet.

Most concrete trucks haul nine cubic yards of concrete. That amount is enough to pour a 72 foot by 10 foot section of driveway at four inches deep. Your local Department of Transportation has told your concrete supplier how much they can carry. Most trucks can carry up to 11 1/2 cubic yards. In the winter, concrete trucks may only be allowed to carry seven or maybe as little as four cubic yards per trip.

A truck that carries that six-cubic yards of concrete in one load can weigh as much as 20 or 30 tons. You can order the concrete from some ready-mix concrete plants in small trucks that may only carry one or two cubic yards at a time. Large concrete trucks that carry 10 cubic yards of concrete can weigh in at a staggering 35 to 40 tons!
