Emergency Hydraulic
Recovery Unit 24/7

Don't get caught with a load on. When your hydraulics fail with concrete still in the drum, you're racing the clock, so we come to you, spin the drum and discharge your load on-site before it sets solid. Even with a completely dead pump or motor.

When the Load's Still On, You're on the Clock

When a truck or hydraulic system fails with concrete still in the drum, you have a very short window before that load sets solid. If it does, here's what you're looking at:

Tens of Thousands to Clean Out

Once concrete hardens inside the barrel, removing it is a brutal, expensive job, easily tens of thousands of dollars in labour alone.

Weeks of Lost Work

While the drum is being chipped out or replaced, the truck sits idle off the road, with no carting, no income, just standing costs.

A Brand-New Drum

If the set load can't be removed, the whole barrel is scrap. A replacement drum is the worst-case bill, and the longest wait.

Built for Exactly This Moment

Our Emergency Hydraulic Recovery Unit exists for the worst day on the job. We come to you, connect to your mixer and spin the drum to discharge your load, even with a completely failed hydraulic pump or motor. Call immediately so we can assess location, access and unit availability; recovery outcomes depend on the circumstances on site.

  • We come to you: Subject to location, access and availability, the recovery unit connects to the mixer where it has stopped.

  • We spin a dead drum: The unit takes over from a failed hydraulic pump or motor and turns the barrel, even when nothing else can.

  • We work to discharge the load: Where conditions allow, turning the drum creates an opportunity to discharge the concrete before it sets.
