Normal weight concrete weighs about 4000 lb. per cubic yard. Lightweight concrete weighs about 3000 lb. per cubic yard. If a truck is carrying 10 cubic yards, then the weight of the concrete is approximately 40,000 lb. The truck will weigh approximately 26,000 lb. for a total of 66,000 lb.
In the delivery from the plant where the concrete is first mixed, the concrete needs to be lightly mixed until it arrives at the recipient's site. If the bowl on the back of the truck were not revolving, the concrete would settle out due to vibrations as the truck travelled the highways. It would need to be re-mixed before use. And if the truck stops because of some accident, the concrete has to be removed from the bowl, otherwise it will set in position.
Concrete now comes in cubic meters. There is 2.2 tons to each cubic meter of concrete plus whatever the size if the truck is. An 8 meter truck is about 32 tons full, 6 meter truck is about 26 tons full and a minni mix (4 meters) is about 22 tons full. This is just a rough guide. Regards Colin
