Description
Concrete Mixer Drum Chipping (Confined Space Entry) is a highly specialized maintenance service designed to remove hardened concrete buildup from the interior of ready-mix truck drums. Over time, residual concrete adheres to the drum walls, reducing load capacity, increasing fuel consumption, stressing truck components, and compromising mix quality. If left untreated, this buildup can lead to expensive repairs, reduced productivity, and premature equipment failure.
Luther Bros Group provides a professional, safe, and efficient confined-space drum chipping solution—restoring internal drum capacity and protecting the performance, reliability, and profitability of your ready-mix fleet.
THE MOBILE ADVANTAGE
In the ready-mix industry, downtime is the enemy. Traditionally, mixer trucks are sent off-site to distant facilities, where they wait in line for their turn to be chipped—sometimes sitting idle for days. Every hour a truck is down, it is not hauling, not producing, and not generating revenue.
We eliminate that problem entirely.
Luther Bros Group is a fully mobile drum chipping operation. Our certified confined-space crews come directly to your location—batch plant, yard, or fleet terminal—so your trucks stay in your possession and remain part of your operational schedule.
We perform work:
- After hours
- During night shifts
- Weekends
- Low-production periods
- Across multiple units on-site
Your trucks never leave your yard, never sit in a queue, and never disappear into someone else’s schedule.
INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE THAT MATTERS
We aren’t outsiders selling a service we don’t understand. Our team includes professionals with real-world experience driving mixer trucks in Aberta. We know:
- The pressure of maintaining daily dispatch cycles
- How slump times and jobsite delays cause buildup
- What lost capacity does during peak season
- What lost capacity does during peak season
- How every cubic foot in that drum matters
- The frustration of waiting months for a turn at a chipping yard
Because we’ve sat in that cab—and been inside that drum—our service isn’t theoretical. It’s engineered around your operational reality.
This experience allows us to anticipate challenges, respect production demands, and deliver drum restoration without disrupting your business.

WHY READY-MIX COMPANIES CHOOSE LUTHER BROS GROUP

- Longer discharge times
- Clogged chutes & compromised mix quality
- Fines or penalties during inspections
