Ready-Mix Concrete

Barrel U-Carts

Classic Ready-Mix’s Barrel U-Carts are a superior method for transporting your ready-mix, keeping it protected from the elements, and ensuring your mix is consistent when it is time to pour.

The less desirable alternative to a Barrel U-Cart is the Paddle mixer. Though these are also referred to as “U-carts”, do not confuse the two. Classic Ready-mix does not offer paddle mixers because of their limitations. The drawbacks of the paddles make them an inferior choice; small paddles agitated  the mix but fail to keep it thoroughly mixed, resulting in separation, rocks settling, and a sub-par pouring experience. 

As experienced concrete finishers, we only offer up the right tools to give you the best experience possible.

Concrete Truck Delivery

For larger jobs, we offer delivery by a professional driver in one of our concrete trucks. Each truck can hold up to 10 yards and are equipped with 4 chutes that can reach up to 20′ from the back of the truck.

Any deliveries under 5 yards will include a “small load fee”.

Concrete Strength

 CONCRETE STRENGTH, PSI, OR BAGS: The strength of your ready-mix is measured by PSI but is indicated or referred to in the industry as ‘Bags’.

When you order, quantity is measured in yards but the number of bags (4-Bag Mix, 7-Bag Mix) indicates the compression strength of the concrete (PSI). In the early days of concrete, the number of ‘bags’ referred to the number of bags of Portland cement added to the batch. Though today we use different additives and more sophisticated mix designs, the simplified way of referring to PSI strength has held over. 

We custom mix your batch for your specific application. Here is a breakdown of the different mixes and what they are best suited for:

• 4-Bag Mix: Non-weight-bearing – Light Duty, fence posts, flag poles, fire pits, etc
• 5-Bag Mix: Upto 3,000 PSI weight rating – Man door pads, patios, small shed pads
• 6-Bag Mix: Upto 4,000 PSI weight rating – Sidewalks
• 7-Bag Mix: Upto 4,500 PSI weight rating – Hot Tubs, Driveways (Can hold the weight of a car)

Weight ratings are approximations based on industry standards and are not guaranteed.

Quantity Calculator

To estimate the amount of ready-mix you need for your project, it is a simple math equation: Length x Width x Depth  

The only tricky part is converting your different measurements (inches & feet) into yards. For your convenience, we have provided this simple concrete calculator to estimate the quantity of ready-mix you will need.
