Hire a cement mixer from Hirelink for concrete and mortar mixing on site. We stock electric cement mixers in 110v and 240v for site and domestic use, and a petrol cement mixer for jobs without a power supply. All mixers come with a barrow-height swivel stand so you can tip directly into a wheelbarrow. We deliver across Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield, Aldridge, and the wider Midlands from our four local depots.
The Cost
Hirelink stocks cement mixers in three power options to suit different jobs and site conditions. Call the team or get a quote online to confirm availability and pricing for your location across the Midlands.

The Reason
Hirelink operates from Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield, Aldridge, and near Birmingham Airport. You get cement mixer hire from a local team that can deliver quickly to building sites, domestic properties, and groundwork jobs across the West Midlands and Staffordshire.
Whether you need a 240v mixer for a domestic patio, a 110v mixer for a trade site, or a petrol mixer for a location without power, Hirelink has the right machine. You do not need to go to multiple suppliers for different power options.
Every cement mixer hire from Hirelink comes with the swivel tipping stand as standard. The stand positions the drum at barrow height so you can tip the mix directly into a wheelbarrow without lifting or straining. The drum rotates and tilts for full control over the pour.
Cement mixer hire from Hirelink is open to homeowners, self-builders, landscapers, and professional contractors alike. No trade account is needed for cash hire.
Book by the day or the week. Most domestic concrete jobs are done in a single day. Trade and building site work often benefits from a weekly hire at significantly better value per day than daily rates.
The Return
A cement mixer combines aggregate (gravel or ballast), sand, cement powder, and water in a rotating drum to produce a consistent batch of concrete or mortar ready to pour or apply. The drum rotates continuously during mixing, using internal paddles to turn the material and ensure a thorough, even blend throughout the batch. When the mix is ready, the drum tips forward on the stand to pour the contents into a wheelbarrow, directly into a trench, or onto the surface being worked.
The mixers available from Hirelink have a 130-litre drum and produce approximately 90 litres of usable mixed concrete per batch — roughly one full barrow load. This is the standard size for site work and domestic building projects. It is practical for one operator to load, mix, and empty the drum repeatedly across a working day without assistance.
Builders, groundworkers, landscapers, block paving contractors, drainage installers, and DIY homeowners all routinely hire cement mixers. Common applications include laying concrete foundations and bases for sheds, garages, and extensions; constructing block, brick, or stone walls; laying paving slabs, kerbs, and driveway edging; setting fence and gate posts; pointing and repointing brickwork and stone; floor screed preparation; and filling and repairing concrete surfaces.
The drum and paddle system produces a more consistent and better aerated mix than hand mixing from a board or in a bucket, and it does so repeatedly and quickly. On a job requiring several consecutive batches — laying a full patio base, for example, or building a section of wall — a mixer saves significant time and produces more reliable results than any alternative.
The Difference
Runs independently of any power supply. The right choice for jobs in locations without electricity, including rural plots, field work, remote groundwork sites, and construction projects where running a cable or generator would be impractical.
Ideal for mixing concrete and mortar in off-grid locations while maintaining the same capacity and performance as electric models. Requires unleaded petrol, which is not supplied with the hire.
Runs from a standard 13-amp household socket. The right choice for domestic work: garden patios, fence posts, driveway repairs, footings for outbuildings, and home renovation jobs where a standard power supply is nearby. Easy to set up and use without additional equipment.
The standard choice on UK construction sites. Runs from a 110v site supply or a 3kVA transformer. If you do not have a 110v supply on site, a transformer can be hired alongside the mixer. Using 110v reduces shock risk in wet or muddy site conditions, which is why most professional sites require it rather than 240v.
The Logistics
Hirelink delivers cement mixers from four Midlands depots located in Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield, Aldridge, and near Birmingham Airport. These depots cover the full West Midlands region and large parts of Staffordshire and Warwickshire.
Delivery and collection is available with every hire. Areas served include Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Walsall, West Bromwich, Solihull, Tamworth, Cannock, Stafford, Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield, Burton upon Trent, and the surrounding towns and villages across the wider Midlands.
The Process
Pick the power type that suits your site. 240v for domestic use with a standard socket, 110v for trade site use, petrol for locations without mains power.
Reserve your mixer online or by phone and confirm your delivery date and address. We’ll confirm your booking and arrange collection at the end of the hire.
Load dry materials into the drum, add water gradually, and run the drum for two to three minutes before tipping. Clean the drum out with water at the end of each session to prevent concrete setting inside.
FAQs
Cement is a dry powder binder — it is an ingredient, not the finished material. Concrete is cement mixed with water, sand, and coarse aggregate (gravel or ballast). Mortar is cement mixed with water and fine sand only, used for bricklaying and pointing. A cement mixer produces whichever of these you need depending on what you load into it.
A standard 130-litre drum mixer produces roughly 90 litres of usable mix per batch. An experienced operator loading and tipping repeatedly can typically produce eight to twelve batches per hour depending on mix time, loading speed, and how far the wheelbarrow needs to travel. This equals between 720 and 1,080 litres of concrete per hour — enough for a substantial amount of work.
Yes. A 110v mixer requires a 110v power supply, either from a site transformer, a generator with 110v output, or an existing 110v site supply. A standard 240v domestic socket cannot power a 110v mixer directly. If you do not have a 110v supply, ask about adding a 3kVA transformer to your hire when you book.
Yes. Hirelink operates four depots across the Midlands and you can collect from your nearest one. You will need a van or a large estate car — a standard hatchback will not comfortably fit a mixer and stand. Call the depot to confirm collection arrangements.
Add a small amount of water and a few large stones or pieces of aggregate to the drum and run it for two to three minutes after each use. This loosens any concrete before it sets. Tip out the contents and rinse the drum. Return the mixer clean at the end of the hire period. Charges may apply for excessively dirty or concrete-set machines.
Hirelink is a Midlands-based hire company with four depots in Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield, Aldridge, and near Birmingham Airport. We offer 110v, 240v, and petrol mixers and deal with customers directly from local depots, which means faster delivery and a team you can speak to rather than a national booking system. For tradespeople and homeowners across the West Midlands and Staffordshire, that local service and quick availability is what makes the difference on a working day.
