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.

The middle size in Essick's steel-drum range is where most masonry crews land, because it takes a batch measured in whole bags rather than half ones and still tows behind a pickup. The engine sits mounted solid to the base rather than on isolators, which Essick specifies to hold vibration down, and an idler wheel handles paddle engagement so the drum comes under load positively instead of shocking the belt. Three drives are offered against one machine.

Material goes in through a heavy-duty safety grate with a bag cutter built into it, so a bag is opened and screened in the same motion instead of being slit on the drum lip and dumped whole. The engine cover is punched for ventilation, and the drum, frame and paint are specified for a machine that lives outdoors and gets hosed down at the end of a shift. This is built for the masonry and plastering crews running continuous batches on a commercial job, not for the occasional patch.

Common Applications

  • Mixing mortar for masonry, block and brick work
  • Mixing plaster and stucco on commercial jobs
  • Mixing grout and structural mixes at crew scale
  • Continuous batch work where material is discharged straight to tubs or barrows

Selection Notes

  • Choose the electric build where site power is available and engine exhaust is unwanted, and an engine build where the machine works away from a supply
  • The 9 HP MPower build is the lowest-priced of the three, with the Honda and Baldor builds within two dollars of each other, so drive choice here is about fuel and supply rather than budget
  • Drop to the EM70-Series for 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 bag batches or step up to the 12 cu ft machines for 3-1/2 to 4; drum size is the only axis that separates them
