Shipping & Freight

For an order containing products from a single brand, shipping is a flat rate based on your order total:

  • Orders up to $5,000: $279
  • Orders $5,000 to $10,000: $347
  • Orders $10,000 and over: $517

These rates cover standard freight delivery to a commercial address. After you place your order, our team will confirm your delivery timeline within 1 to 3 business days.

Ordering from more than one brand? Multi-brand orders ship on separate freight and are quoted individually rather than at the flat rate above. Place your order or contact us first and we will confirm total freight before anything is finalized.

Liftgate service is not included in these rates. If your delivery location has no loading dock or forklift to unload the freight from the truck, liftgate service is required and will be added to your shipping charge. If you are unsure whether you need it, contact us before ordering.

Commercial delivery locations are preferred when available. Residential delivery, limited-access locations, and appointment scheduling may affect handling.

Lead times vary by product, manufacturer availability, and selected options. Some configured, special-order, or non-stock items require additional processing time before they ship.

Please inspect all freight shipments at delivery before signing. If you see visible damage, note it with the carrier and contact us as soon as possible.

If you need freight, delivery, or lead-time guidance before ordering, contact our team before you purchase.

Compatibility / Fitment

Compatibility varies by product type, machine setup, selected options, and intended application.

For machine-mounted equipment and attachments, buyers should confirm fitment before ordering using the relevant machine information, including model, attachment style, mount type, coupler type, hydraulic requirements, and any other product-specific requirements listed on the page.

Hardscape Heavy can assist with pre-order fitment guidance based on the information you provide. This guidance is limited to purchase and compatibility review before ordering and does not include field installation, hydraulic modification, fabrication, or on-site setup support.

If you are unsure whether a product will work with your machine or application, contact us before placing the order.

Returns & Warranty

Warranty coverage is provided by the product manufacturer where applicable. Warranty terms, coverage periods, exclusions, and claim procedures vary by brand and product type.

Hardscape Heavy does not create separate warranty coverage beyond the manufacturer’s warranty unless explicitly stated on the product page.

Returns are governed by our store return policy. Because many products in this category involve freight shipping, special ordering, or configuration-specific selections, return eligibility may vary by product and condition. Special-order, custom-configured, used, damaged, or installed items may not be eligible for return.

Please review our full return policy before purchase. If you have questions about return eligibility or manufacturer warranty coverage for a specific item, contact us before ordering.

A plaster and mortar mixer earns its place on a job by turning out a consistent batch fast enough that the crew never waits on mud, and this is the smallest of Essick's three steel-drum sizes. Essick builds it around a thick steel drum on a tubular frame, with paddles turning against the drum wall to work sand, cement and water into a mix that stays uniform to the last shovel. Four drives are offered against the same machine, so the choice is engine or motor, not a different mixer.

The drum turns on a V-belt drive, which slips rather than stalls when a heavy mix loads the paddles, and the whole batch discharges through a manual dump set high enough that a wheelbarrow or a tub goes underneath without a ramp. The engine cover is punched for ventilation, which is what keeps an air-cooled engine alive on a machine that runs in the sun with cement dust hanging around it. This is built for the masonry and stucco crews mixing batch after batch through a working day, and for the contractor who wants one small machine to cover a truck rather than a fleet.

Common Applications

  • Mixing mortar for masonry and block work
  • Mixing plaster and stucco on site
  • Mixing grout and small structural mixes on a crew-sized job
  • Batch mixing where the material has to be discharged straight into a tub or barrow

Selection Notes

  • The four drives cover the same 7 cu ft machine; pick the electric build where site power is available and exhaust is not wanted indoors, and an engine build where the machine has to work away from a supply
  • Among the engines, the 5.5 HP Honda is the lowest-cost gas build, the 8 HP Honda the highest-output, and the 9 HP MPower the lowest-priced of the four drives overall
  • Step up to the EM90-Series where the batch size wanted is 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 bags rather than 1-1/2 to 2-1/2, since drum capacity is the only axis that changes between them
