Basic formula
Number of trucks = Total concrete volume ÷ truck capacity. Round up for a simple whole-truck planning estimate.
Worked example
35 m³ divided by 6 m³ per truck is 5.83, so a basic plan is 6 truckloads.
How to use the calculator
Enter total concrete volume and confirmed truck capacity.
Other planning factors
Pump capacity, traffic, site access, pour sequence, waiting time and supplier scheduling can affect delivery.
Before ordering
Confirm final measured quantity and supplier capacity before placing the order.
