Multinational equipment manufacturer Liebherr is about to launch a unique model for delivering concrete safely and efficiently to customers.

The company said its new self-service plants would offer quick and easy access to high-quality concrete.

“Thanks to the innovative business model and the simple operation of the self-service concrete plant, small customers can be served with concrete in a time-saving and cost-effective self-collection operation,” a company spokesman said.

“Buyers of the self-service concrete plant can further extend their portfolio because their customers would then be able to obtain fresh concrete from the same supplier as their other building materials, which would provide considerable added value.

“The target group here in particular is the ‘professional small customer’, such as gardeners and landscapers, fence construction, stone setters, civil engineering and DIYers.”

Liebherr said customers would be able to select the specific amount of concrete required for a particular job.

“The mixing process can be started easily and conveniently by QR-code and within two to three minutes the fresh concrete is delivered directly into the trailer or truck mixer,” the spokesman said.

“The self-service concrete plant offers building material dealers or gravel pit/quarry pit operators the ideal opportunity to offer their customers an additional service and, at the same time, further expand their unique selling points.”
