Small and medium projects, works that advance along long routes and temporary sites need an installation that moves quickly from one place to another, not a fixed plant that is impossible to relocate. A mobile concrete batching plant from URSTAG, of the standard type, integrates the mixer, the batching system and the conveyor belt onto a wheeled chassis, towable by a trailer, becoming operational in just 1-3 days, compared with 3-4 weeks for stationary plants.
A URSTAG mobile concrete batching plant is available in two configurations, UMC-60 and UMC-90, with semi-mounted traction. The modular chassis design, foundation-free installation and automatic PC control make it ideal for rural roads, small bridges, housing construction and emergency repairs.

Applications for a Concrete Batching Plant for Small Projects
A mobile concrete batching plant is intended for rural roads, small bridges, housing construction, emergency repairs and infrastructure works that advance along long routes. The on-wheels mobility turns it into an asset that is easy to move wherever concrete is needed, solving the major drawback of fixed plants, which can no longer be moved once installed.
Concrete production equipment is regulated in Europe with respect to safety and CE marking; a mobile concrete batching plant delivered in Europe is designed in line with the requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. For integration into a complete concrete production flow, see also the complete industry solutions.
Strong mobility is the defining advantage of a mobile concrete batching plant: the chassis is designed with tires and can be towed by a trailer, adapting to various road conditions, from highways to unpaved site paths. This ability to transport over unpaved roads solves the weak point of fixed concrete plants, which can no longer be moved once installed, and enables rapid relocation between successive projects.
The rapid assembly of a mobile concrete batching plant dramatically accelerates the start of production: because the core components, the mixer, the batching system and the conveyor belt, are already integrated onto the chassis, on-site installation requires no complex foundation and is completed in 1-3 days. Just as importantly, the plant can be quickly disassembled for dismantling and relocation, shortening downtime between works.
The low site requirements of a mobile concrete batching plant make it suitable for temporary construction sites, field operations and areas with complex geological conditions: no hardened ground or foundation is required, only a flat site with a slope of at most 3°. The compact layout and small footprint of 300-500 m² save site resources and simplify site organization.
The flexibility of a mobile concrete batching plant for small and medium projects avoids the waste of resources: instead of an oversized fixed plant, the mobile unit covers exactly the concrete needs of rural roads, small bridges, housing construction and emergency repairs. This match between capacity and demand, plus the mobility, delivers superior efficiency for geographically dispersed small and medium works.

How It Works
1. The mobile concrete batching plant is towed to the site by a trailer, on its wheeled chassis.
2. It is placed on a flat surface (slope ≤ 3°), without a concrete foundation.
3. The components integrated on the chassis are commissioned; installation takes 1-3 days.
4. The PLC system coordinates batching, precision weighing and mixing.
5. Homogeneous concrete is produced in the 60-second cycle and discharged into mixer trucks.
6. When the project is complete, the plant is quickly disassembled and relocated.
The computer control system automates batching, weighing, mixing and discharging, with accuracy meeting standards. Select models support remote monitoring and fault diagnosis, reducing manual intervention and operational complexity. A mobile concrete batching plant produces consistent-quality concrete and is easy to relocate once the work is complete.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which mobile concrete batching plant capacity should I choose?
The choice depends on the required concrete output. UMC-60 offers a theoretical capacity of 60 m³/h, suitable for smaller projects, while UMC-90 offers 90 m³/h for medium works. Both suit rural roads, small bridges, housing construction and emergency repairs, with mobility and rapid relocation.
Can it really be towed and moved between sites?
Yes. A mobile concrete batching plant has a tire chassis and can be towed by a trailer, adapting to various road conditions, including unpaved site paths. This solves the weak point of fixed plants, which can no longer be moved once installed, and enables rapid relocation between projects.
Is it true that no foundation is needed?
Yes. A mobile concrete batching plant requires no hardened ground or concrete foundation, only a flat surface with a slope of at most 3° for placement. This makes it suitable for temporary construction sites, field operations and areas with complex geological conditions, eliminating an expensive, slow site-preparation stage.
Is the delivered equipment new?
Yes. We deliver new, unused equipment, manufactured to order according to the chosen configuration. Construction uses components from established suppliers, with CE marking where applicable, and every plant undergoes a full inspection before shipment. You receive the technical documentation and operating manuals in your language.
How long do installation and commissioning take?
Thanks to the chassis-integrated design and foundation-free placement, a mobile concrete batching plant becomes operational in 1-3 days. Transport, commissioning and operator training are included and carried out by a specialized team, so your plant starts production quickly, on any suitable flat site.
What types of projects is it suitable for?
A mobile concrete batching plant is suitable for small and medium projects: rural roads, small bridges, housing construction and emergency repairs. Compared with high-capacity fixed plants, it offers superior flexibility and avoids the waste of resources, making it ideal for geographically dispersed works requiring frequent relocation.
How easy is it to maintain?
The modular structure allows each component to be independently disassembled, and routine maintenance, such as replacing wear parts or repairing the screw conveyor, does not require dismantling the entire equipment. This reduces downtime and keeps high availability of the mobile concrete batching plant.
Why URSTAG?
• Real mobility, wheeled chassis, towable by trailer, adaptable to highways and unpaved site paths, operational in 1-3 days.
• Foundation-free deployment, placement on a flat site (slope ≤ 3°), without hardened ground, with a compact 300-500 m² footprint.
• Flexibility for small and medium projects, matched exactly to the needs of dispersed works, without the resource waste of oversized fixed plants.
• Intelligent PC control, automated batching, weighing and mixing, ±2%/±1% accuracy, with remote monitoring and diagnosis on select models.
• Environment and safety, dust collection devices, safety guardrails and emergency stop buttons on key components.
• Easy maintenance, independently disassemblable components, routine maintenance without dismantling the entire equipment.
Controllable costs are an inherent advantage of the mobile design: the modular chassis structure lowers transport and relocation costs compared with a stationary plant of the same capacity, while component-level maintenance, without dismantling the entire unit, keeps operating expenses predictable. For operators running successive projects in different locations, this efficiency across the whole usage cycle is decisive.
Quick adoption is another practical benefit: the automated control system handles batching, weighing, mixing and discharging with minimal operator input, so a small team can run the plant after brief training. The combination of intelligent control, remote monitoring on select models and straightforward operation shortens the learning curve and gets production started reliably from the first days on a new site.
With a URSTAG mobile concrete batching plant, of the standard type, towable on a wheeled chassis, operational in 1-3 days and without a concrete foundation, you obtain a flexible concrete production installation that is easy to relocate, perfectly suited to geographically dispersed small and medium projects, backed by intelligent PC control and simple maintenance.
