In early 2025, a contractor from Vientiane, Laos, purchased a self-loading mixer to address the problem of quickly supplying concrete for his road and rural housing construction projects. After two months of trial use, the customer reported great satisfaction – this newly developed equipment is environmentally friendly, saves time and labor, and performs three functions in one (loading + mixing + transporting), completely changing the previous method of relying on external concrete supply.

Current Demand for Self-Loading Mixers in Laos
Currently in Laos, whether for municipal roads, rural housing construction, or construction site repair projects, the following common problems exist:
- Difficulty in preparing concrete: There is no stable supply of ready-mix concrete, pump truck services are scarce, and long transportation distances lead to premature setting of the concrete.
- Increased labor costs: Traditional manual mixing is inefficient, labor-intensive, and difficult to guarantee uniformity and stability.
- Construction sites are often in mountainous or rural areas: Narrow roads and steep slopes make it difficult for transport vehicles or concrete mixers to pass.
- Increased environmental requirements: The Laotian government is gradually strengthening regulation of dust, noise, and waste emissions.
These problems resonated strongly with many Laotian customers after seeing the case study, as they all face the same pain points.
YG’s Solution: A Three-in-One Self-Loading Mixer
To meet the needs of the construction environment in Laos, YG provided the customer with a fully functional self-loading concrete mixer with the following advantages:
- 270° drum rotation + even fan-shaped discharge: No manual pouring required, suitable for small construction sites and road paving.
- Automatic metering and weighing + automatic water addition system: Ensures stable concrete quality and reduces human error.
- 4×4 gear drive + strong climbing ability: Able to adapt to mountainous roads, rough roads, gravel roads, and other common terrains in Laos.
- Three-in-one machine (loading + mixing + transporting): Replaces three types of equipment: loader, mixer, and transport vehicle, saving costs.
- Energy-saving and environmentally friendly: Closed mixing system reduces dust; precise proportioning reduces waste.
Ultimately, the customer evaluated its performance as exceeding expectations, especially in continuous pouring of road surfaces and rural house foundations, where construction efficiency increased by more than 40%.
FAQ from Laotian Customers:
- What is the approximate price of a self-loading concrete mixer machine?
The price depends on the mixing capacity (1.2–4.0m³), export standard configuration and documentation.
- Is it suitable for construction in mountainous areas?
Absolutely. The 4×4 drive and high-torque engine allow it to easily navigate slopes, gravel roads, and muddy terrain.
- Does a self-mixing concrete truck require a professional driver?
No. Only one operator is needed to complete loading, mixing, and transportation. YG provides remote operation training videos.
- Is maintenance difficult? Are spare parts readily available?
Maintenance is simple; routine maintenance includes refueling, tightening bolts, and checking the hydraulic system. YG provides spare parts kits and export after-sales support.
- Can a self-loading mixer truck replace a small batching plant?
For most rural and municipal projects in Laos, it is equivalent to a mobile small batching plant and can completely independently supply concrete.
