Wheelbarrows

A wheelbarrow can help you to transport your fertilizer or compost, plant pots, bring your organic waste to the composter... An average wheelbarrow usually offers a load capacity of 50 to 100 kilograms and a load volume of 80, 85, 90, 100 or 120 litres. However, these values vary depending on the size of the tub and the type of wheelbarrow.

Depending on the material you should consider the density of the bulk material, because this determines the weight. 80 litres of wet topsoil are significantly heavier than 80 litres of aerated concrete blocks. The maximum load that the wheelbarrow can withstand must be taken into account. Normally, however, the load capacity of the product is higher than the load you can move at all.

A standard wheelbarrow is about 67 centimetres wide, so you can usually get it through a standard door.

The width varies depending on the capacity and type of wheelbarrow. With some products, the trough is narrower but deeper, so that you can fit through almost any door.

Yes, there are motor-driven wheelbarrows that you can use especially for transporting very heavy loads.

This version of the wheelbarrow saves time and energy when pushing and is particularly suitable for working on uneven terrain with slopes.

There is a wide range of children's wheelbarrows in different designs and sizes for different age groups.

For younger children, small, colourful models with a low handle and loading height are best, as they can then easily load and unload the wheelbarrow and push it around the garden without any problems.

For slightly older children, larger children's wheelbarrows that are sturdy and heavy duty are ideal. With these models, they can carry a decent amount of bulk material. You can usually recognise such wheelbarrows by their pneumatic tyres and sturdy material.

You can clean your wheelbarrow with an hose pipe. Dry it well and store your wheelbarrow in a garden shed to keep it clean and dry until the next time you use it.
