Push-to-Talk Radios for Concrete Batching Plants and Drum Trucks

Concrete operations rely on precise timing and constant coordination. From batching plants to drum trucks in the field, every minute counts. Priority PTT push-to-talk radios give concrete companies instant, reliable communication that cellphones and traditional radios can’t match.

What Are Push-to-Talk Radios?

Push-to-talk radios are handheld or vehicle-mounted devices that let workers talk to one person or an entire team instantly with a single button.

Unlike traditional two-way radios, our system uses nationwide LTE and Wi-Fi, so you don’t need repeater towers or FCC licensing. For concrete producers, this means your crews stay connected whether they’re inside the plant, on the road, or at a job site.

One-touch talk. No ringing. No delays.

How Priority PTT Push-to-Talk Radios Work for Concrete Operations

Our radios automatically connect to the strongest available carrier, AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile. And can switch to Wi-Fi when available. This gives your operation maximum coverage across rural highways, urban job sites, and plant locations.

Key features for concrete companies:

Preconfigured group channels for batching, dispatch, and field drivers
One-to-one private conversations for direct updates
One-touch emergency alert with GPS location
Encrypted voice communication
Real-time GPS tracking for truck location and delivery status
Options for rugged handheld radios and TM7-PLUS in-car radios for vehicles

The TM7-PLUS is ideal for drum trucks. It mounts securely inside the cab and gives drivers push-to-talk capability without relying on cellphones. This makes it safer, more reliable, and compliant with hands-free driving laws.

Real-World Applications in Concrete Operations

Batching Plants: Dispatchers use group channels to update multiple drivers on load sequencing, route changes, or plant delays. GPS tracking shows which trucks are en route or waiting at a site.

Concrete Drum Trucks: Drivers use the TM7-PLUS in-car radio for safe, one-touch communication with dispatch. No fumbling with phones, no risk of missed calls. They can also send an emergency alert with GPS location if needed.

On-Site Crews: Foremen coordinate truck arrivals, pours, and crew timing instantly. With unlimited coverage, communication continues even when crews move between job sites.

Why Concrete Companies Choose Priority PTT

Nationwide coverage with carrier roaming and Wi-Fi fallback
Flat-rate pricing with no contracts or licensing headaches
Hands-free, in-vehicle communication with the TM7-PLUS in-car radio
Rugged handheld devices for plant supervisors and site foremen
U.S.-based support and preconfigured setup tailored to your operation

Why Wait?
Concrete batching plants and drum truck fleets need communication that works as hard as they do. Priority PTT radios provide reliable, instant communication on the road, at the plant, and on the job site.
