GARDEBRUK® Heavy Duty Garden Wheelbarrow | 100L 150KG | Pneumatic Tyre | Powder Coated Steel Rim | Strong Large Transport Trolley Handcart Wheel Barrow | Green & Black

Product Information

A great option for people looking for an affordable wheelbarrow to use in their garden, but that can handle the odd heavy-duty task, is this one from DJM. Sporting a sturdy steel frame and metal tub, it is both durable and able to handle heavier loads. Moving a heavily loaded wheelbarrow from one place to another without it tipping over certainly isn’t easy, and it can be very taxing on your arms and shoulders to keep it upright. So, if you’re not the strongest person out there, or perhaps you have old injuries that make things hard, this 2-wheeled wheelbarrow from Oypla might help. I still have to say that it can’t compete with the pneumatic tyres found on Draper and DJM wheelbarrows, but they are better than expected, and would deal with rolling over screws, nails, and other sharp objects without issue. That’s something you can’t always say about pneumatic tyres, and have you ever got a flat on a fully loaded 80+ litre wheelbarrow? It’s not fun! Pros Another very minor flaw that, again, is common to this kind of wheelbarrow is that it is very difficult, if not impossible to tip all of the contents of the tub out at once. There will always be a little bit of soil, sand, etc. still in there that you’ll have to help on its way with a shovel or similar. Usage: Catering to gardeners, DIY enthusiasts, and professionals alike, the Excel wheelbarrow stands as an indispensable tool for everyone. A perfect partner for Excel cement mixer range.

The tyres on Walsall’s wheelbarrow are the puncture-proof kind, but they are not the usual hard plastic material. Instead, they feel like some kind of hard rubberised material, and I have to say that it does make the barrow feel better to move over lumpy terrain than a lot of other products. Best wheelbarrow overall: Draper 85L metal barrow– best overall and what I would use to transport concrete Another thing to look out for when it comes to wheels, is the quality of the bearings used, as this will directly affect the performance of the wheels. Not only do good bearings ensure a smooth roll, but it can also affect the durability of the wheels, especially under heavier loads. What can I use a wheelbarrow for?

You’re not going to be shifting huge loads of materials or equipment with the Garden Caddy like you can with larger models such as the DJM heavy duty wheelbarrow, but it can manage up to 40kg, which I think is enough for most casual gardeners. The deep tub and high sides are also great for holding long handled tools, like spades and rakes, in place, and you can throw a load of dead leaves or weeds in there too. If you’ve never used a wheelbarrow before, don’t worry as there isn’t a lot to it. Having said that, there are a couple of little things to remember that might make your first time with one of these tools go a bit smoother, and might even prevent an injury.

We gave the Walsall Wheelbarrows, 85 litre, galvanised model our vote as the best one out there for builders due to the right combination of maximum possible load, manoeuvrability, and hardiness. Best allotment wheelbarrow: Crazy gadget galvanized wheelbarrow– with a combination of value for money and build quality this makes a lot of sense.

Choosing a wheelbarrow that I would recommend for allotments wasn’t an easy task. You see, there are just so many variables that come into it. Different people grow different things, and perform different tasks on their allotments, so choosing a ‘one-size-fits-all’ model was pretty much impossible. Wheelbarrows can obviously be used to transport materials over short distances. This can be sand, cement, compost, soil, mulch, gravel, paving stones, and just about anything else as long as the wheelbarrow, and yourself, are strong enough to haul it.If you’ve already shopped around a little bit for your wheelbarrow, you will have noticed that there is no standard size. When searching online, the size of a wheelbarrow is usually right there in the description as it is thought of as one of the main things people want to know, and rightly so. Now, I have to admit that making sharp turns with this barrow isn’t as easy as with single wheeled models like the Walsall, DJM, Crazy Gadget, and Draper wheelbarrows, but I have to say that Oypla have done a decent job at making this pretty agile. So, in the end, I settled on this Crazy Gadget wheelbarrow. With dimensions of113D x 60W x 53H centimetres, it’s big enough to be practical and useful without being overly large. It can also hold up to 65 litres which, although not as impressive as the 90 litre DJM wheelbarrow, is still pretty good. I’ve also heard of people using them as an emergency cover for things like petrol generators when it suddenly rains, using metal wheelbarrows as makeshift fire pits, or repurposing old wheelbarrows into beautiful garden features like these planters: Wheelbarrow repurposed as a planter – no need to throw it away once it’s past it! The thing to think about when it comes to choosing how large a maximum load weight you want, is can you actually lift that much without hurting yourself? I mean, it’s fine to be pushing a fully loaded 90kg wheelbarrow if you’re particularly fit, but not everyone is, and if you’re only going to be filling it half way, you might as well save some money and buy a smaller barrow instead. Metal or plastic wheelbarrow?

After giving it a lot of thought, I figured that I’d choose something that was big enough to handle medium sized loads, but not so big that it wouldn’t fit in the greenhouse. Then I thought about people whose greenhouses or sheds are already full, and that would mean leaving the wheelbarrow outside, so being weather resistant was another factor. The downside to pneumatic tyres is obvious, and if you’ve ever owned a bicycle, motorcycle, car, etc. you will have dealt with them- punctures. With rubber and plastic tyres, you don’t have to worry about accidentally rolling over a screw, nail, or bit of glass, and then having to break out the puncture kit before you can carry on working: Pneumatic tyre is very comfortable to use until a puncture upsets things

There are a few ways of looking at size though. Firstly, there are the actual dimensions of the wheelbarrow- height, width, etc. and these are obviously very important when you think about storage space in the garage, getting the barrow in and out of the shed door and through gates, and just generally manoeuvring it around. Trying to deftly move a huge wheelbarrow around a very small and narrow garden isn’t going to be fun, so you might want something smaller like the Crazy gadget model. On the plus side, single-wheeled barrows are very manoeuvrable when compared to versions with more wheels, and as long as you are careful, and don’t’ try to break your fastest lap of the garden with a big pile of material loaded in the barrow, you should be ok. The shorter handles might also have had a part to play in that too. Don’t get me wrong, they aren’t terrible, it’s just that after playing around with the Oypla that had really large handles, these seemed a bit small in comparison.
