Estimated Bag Counts (with waste)
Quick planning guide based on common bag yields. Always confirm final mix and quantities with your concrete supplier.
| Bag Size | Yield (ft³ / bag) | Bags Needed |
|---|---|---|
| 40 lb | 0.30 | 0 |
| 60 lb | 0.45 | 0 |
| 80 lb | 0.60 | 0 |
Bag yields are approximate (40 lb ≈ 0.30 ft³, 60 lb ≈ 0.45 ft³, 80 lb ≈ 0.60 ft³). This tool is for estimating only.
Area Calculator – Common Shapes
Choose a shape, enter dimensions in feet and inches, and estimate area in square feet and square yards.
How to use
- Select the shape or layout.
- Enter dimensions in feet & inches.
- Adjust quantity and waste/overage if needed.
- Review total ft² and yd² for ordering.
Pro tip: Use the waste % to cover cuts, layout changes, and odd edges so you’re not short on site.
Rectangle / Slab / Room

How Fast Does It Pay For Itself?
Most crews recover the cost of an LHD buggy in under 30 pours.
Instant ROI Estimate
Adjust the numbers to match your typical pour. This tool estimates labor savings when switching from wheelbarrows to an LHD buggy.
Assumptions: This calculator uses industry-average estimates where wheelbarrow crews spend significantly more labor time per yard per 50 ft of haul compared to a powered buggy. Actual results vary by crew, mix, site access, and job conditions. Use this as a directional planning tool, not a guarantee.
Based on your inputs, here’s what switching to an LHD buggy could look like:
If you're only buying one machine, most contractors choose the LHD7000 Mega Buggy for the fastest payback and highest production.

Compare LHD Models
Find the right machine for your crew, your projects, and your production needs.
When concrete movement slows a pour, everything backs up. Labor costs rise. Crews wait. Margins shrink. LHD buggies are engineered to eliminate that bottleneck so your crew can stay ahead of the concrete.
Featured Recommendation
LHD7000 Mega Buggy
If you’re only buying one machine, make it the Mega Buggy. It delivers maximum capacity, maximum payload, and serious track power while still fitting through a 36" opening.
- 1-yard bucket for high-volume pours
- 4,000 lb payload for serious production work
- High-torque track drive for long pushes and rough terrain
- Under 36" wide for gates, doorways, and tight access
- Designed and built in Indiana, supported by contractors
If production speed and fast payback are your priority, this is the machine to start with.
