Or use a concrete buggy which is available at most rental centers-you can park
the truck as close as possible then buggy the load. The buggy usually holds
around .4-.5 yds.Steve, WD8NPL Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S10e, an AT&T 5G

Concrete > What size is your tower base?? In my opinion, mixing your own for
atypical tower base is not a cost effective undertaking unless you have some
insurmountable access issue that prevents you from bringing in a mixer truck.
I agree. I've poured dozens of tower bases and every base plan I've ever seen
calls for 3kpsi concrete. The labor involved in buying, transporting, mixing
and pouring a base yourself doesn't usually pencil out compared to having it
delivered. And if there is an access issue, hire a line pump to get the mud
in the hole. It'll pump up to 400 feet which should solve most
problems.Cheers,Steve K7LXCTOWER TECH -Professional tower services for
