Concrete mixer prices in the UAE are all over the map — anywhere from a few hundred dirhams for a handheld paddle mixer to the price of a small car for a self-loading unit. Most listings don't help either: half of them show no price at all, and the other half are quoting a different machine than the one your site actually needs.
Here's a clear breakdown of what concrete mixer machines really cost in the UAE in 2026, organised by drum size and power type, plus the one decision that matters more than price: matching the drum capacity to your daily pour.
AMACO supplies concrete mixers and concrete equipment to sites across Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Abu Dhabi from our Ajman warehouse, with 48-hour delivery UAE-wide.
How Much Does a Concrete Mixer Machine Cost in the UAE?
Realistic 2026 price ranges for new machines:
| Mixer type & capacity | Typical use | Price range (AED) |
|---|---|---|
| Portable electric drum, 120–200 L | Small repairs, plastering, mortar batches | 1,200 – 3,000 |
| Half-bag electric drum, 260–350 L | Villa builds, small commercial pours | 4,000 – 8,000 |
| Half-bag petrol/diesel, 350 L | Off-grid and remote sites | 6,000 – 12,000 |
| One-bag drum, 500–750 L | Larger sites, continuous batching | 12,000 – 20,000+ |
Reading these ranges:
- Handheld paddle mixers (AED 150–600) mix paint, grout and small mortar batches — they are not site mixers, even though they dominate online search results.
- The 350 L “half-bag” class is the standard on UAE residential and small commercial sites. It takes half a 50 kg cement bag per batch with aggregates, which keeps mix ratios simple.
- Italian-engine diesel models (Lombardini and similar) sit at the top of each range; unbranded imports at the bottom — usually with thinner drums and no local parts support.
For most UAE sites, the sweet spot is a 350 L electric mixer running on single-phase power — no generator needed. Our Baylorr BAY-CM350 350 L concrete mixer is exactly this class, with a heavy-duty steel drum, cast gear ring, and a one-year warranty.

What Drives the Price of a Concrete Mixer
Drum capacity
Capacity is the biggest price lever. But bigger isn't automatically better: a 500 L drum feeding a two-mason crew just wastes fuel and floor space. Size the drum to your batch cycle — more on that below.
Power source: electric vs petrol vs diesel
Electric mixers cost less to buy and almost nothing to run, and they're quiet — ideal where the site has grid or generator power. Petrol and diesel models add AED 3,000–7,000 but work anywhere, which matters on off-grid plots and early-stage sites before the DEWA or SEWA connection is live.
Drum steel and gear ring
Cheap mixers save money in the drum walls and the gear ring. A drum built from 1.5–2 mm steel with a cast iron gear ring survives years of aggregate abrasion; a thin drum with a pressed ring starts leaking slurry at the seams within a season. You can't see the difference in a photo — ask for the spec sheet.
Brand and after-sales support
Which Capacity Do You Actually Need?
- 120–200 L: plastering crews, block work mortar, repairs. One or two masons.
- 260–350 L: villa construction, boundary walls, small slabs. Feeds a 3–5 person crew comfortably — the UAE workhorse class.
- 500–750 L: continuous pours and larger crews. Only worth it if you'll batch all day; otherwise you're paying to move a heavier machine between sites.
New vs Used Mixers in the UAE
Used 350 L mixers trade at AED 2,000–5,000 on UAE marketplaces. The risk sits in two places you can't inspect quickly: gear ring wear and motor windings. A regasketed drum looks fine in photos; a worn ring strips within months.
If you're weighing a used machine, budget for a workshop check first. Our Ajman workshop handles mixer servicing and repair for any brand — including motor rewinding, which is the most common failure on electric mixers that have run on unstable generator power. We also stock genuine spare parts: gear rings, drum seals, switches and wheels.
Running Costs to Budget For
- Power: an electric 350 L mixer draws far less than most site tools; petrol models use roughly 1 litre per hour of mixing.
- Gear ring and pinion: the main wear item. Grease weekly; replace at AED 200–500 depending on model.
- Drum cleaning: hardened concrete is the #1 killer of mixers. Wash out at every shift end — it costs nothing and doubles drum life.
Why Buy From a UAE-Based Supplier
An imported mixer saves a little upfront and costs you the first week it breaks. A UAE supplier gives you delivery in days not weeks, a warranty backed by a physical workshop, and parts on the shelf. AMACO holds Baylorr stock in Ajman for 48-hour dispatch to all seven emirates, with servicing and motor rewinding under the same roof.

Frequently Asked Questions
New concrete mixers in the UAE range from around AED 1,200 for a small 120 L electric drum to AED 30,000+ for one-bag machines. The popular 350 L half-bag electric class typically costs AED 4,000–8,000.
For most residential and small commercial sites, a 350 L single-phase electric mixer is the standard — it handles typical mix volumes without a generator. For off-grid sites, choose a petrol or diesel model.
A 350 L drum handles a half-bag batch — half a 50 kg cement bag plus sand, aggregate and water — which keeps site mix ratios simple and feeds a 3–5 person crew.
Electric if your site has grid or generator power: cheaper to buy, cheaper to run, quieter. Petrol or diesel if you work on off-grid plots or move between early-stage sites without power connections.
Yes. AMACO dispatches from Ajman within 48 hours to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and all Emirates, with a one-year warranty and workshop support after the sale.
