In September 2025, a Colombian roadwork contractor from Medellín purchased two units of self loading concrete mixers from YG Machinery. The customer had been facing three long-standing problems:
Concrete supply delays in mountainous areas;
High labor costs for mixing, transporting, and pouring;
Inconsistent concrete quality, leading to project rework and extra cost.
After switching to the YG self loading concrete mixer, these issues were completely solved. The two machines are now working daily on rural road upgrading projects, producing stable concrete without waiting for ready-mix trucks. The customer reported a 35% reduction in project time and a remarkable improvement in concrete consistency, which directly boosted profitability.
Colombia’s construction environment has some unique characteristics that make self loading mixers especially valuable:
Mountainous terrain & scattered job sites: Most rural and semi-urban areas lack centralized batching plants. Transporting concrete by traditional trucks is slow and expensive.
High labor costs & shortage of skilled workers: A self mixing concrete truck replaces 4–6 workers, greatly reducing labor expenses.
Long travel distance for ready-mix trucks: Concrete often starts to cure before reaching high-altitude projects. A concrete mixer truck self loading can produce fresh concrete directly on-site.
Increasing demand for small to medium infrastructure projects: Colombia is investing heavily in:
rural roads (vías terciarias);
social housing;
drainage & water supply systems;
hillside retaining walls.
These projects require flexible and highly mobile concrete equipment—exactly the strength of the self loading concrete mixer.
Because of these factors, many Colombian contractors—especially in Antioquia, Cauca, Tolima, and Santander—are shifting from manual mixing to self loading mixers to reduce cost and maintain quality.
When the Medellín customer contacted us, he already knew the problems but needed a partner who could give practical, local-fit recommendations. YG provided:
Model recommendation based on terrain: We suggested the 3.5m³ and 4.0m³ self loading concrete mixers, ideal for Colombia’s steep slopes and narrow rural roads.
Reinforced drive axle & enhanced climbing performance: Colombian sites often require 25%–30% slope climbing. YG upgraded the machines with a heavy-duty transfer case, ensuring stable uphill travel even when fully loaded.
Real-time video demonstration + Colombian customer references: We shared videos from previous Colombian buyers in Bogotá and Cali, helping the customer trust the machine performance in similar conditions.
Fast delivery & Spanish-speaking after-sales support: To speed up the project, we arranged:
priority production;
direct shipping from Qingdao;
Spanish manuals and online training;
video guidance for first-time operation.
The customer team mastered the machine within three days, thanks to the simple and automated controls.
Colombia’s construction environment requires flexibility, speed, and reliability. The YG self loading concrete mixer provides all three. With proven results in real Colombian projects and strong after-sales support, more local contractors are switching to this efficient solution to stay competitive. In addition, we also manufacture construction equipment such as concrete pumps, concrete mixers with pumps, and excavators, etc. Contact us to know more details now!【WhatsApp/WeChat/Phone】+86 13837115193.
