Rating of the best garden and construction wheelbarrows for 2024

Carts are an integral part of the tool kit for the garden. When carrying out repairs, performing work on the site, you cannot do without a special construction or garden wheelbarrow. They seem to be the same thing, but there is a difference. Products for the construction site are more reliable than for the garden, since they are designed to move heavier loads, for example, bricks, bags of cement or stones.

This equipment will be useful not only for women, but also for men. If you want to be more efficient, transporting tools, supplies, soil, and other garden goods on a cart makes more sense than lugging them around.

In this review, we will give advice on what to look for in order not to make a mistake when choosing a product, we will provide information on popular models, recommendations for average prices.

How to choose the right garden construction trolley

First of all, it is necessary to determine the size of the product, its functionality depends on it:

• Small is not designed for heavy work. The carrying capacity is up to 100 kg, such a cart is suitable for moving seedlings, a small amount of soil. The cart will help keep your garden lush, beautiful.
• Medium trolley is more durable, will last longer, and can be used on construction sites. Its tires are better than small wheelbarrows, and the trough is usually made of metal. The weight that is transported is 100 - 200 kg.
• Large carts are designed for bulky loads, they are ideal for heavy work, they have a reliable axle, up to 3 cm in diameter, so you do not have to worry about breakage. It is possible to attach it to a mini tractor.

Below we will consider what are the criteria for choosing a trolley:

• The first question you need to ask yourself is: "What and where am I going to move, what load capacity do I need?" There are many varieties, in terms of build quality, price. The last thing you would like to do is overpay for the volume of the cart, which you will never use to the fullest. Heavy-duty trolleys will have thick, large tires and a sturdy frame, and they will be quite heavy, so you shouldn't buy one unless absolutely necessary. If you do decide to purchase one, make sure it has removable sides for easy access. Look for a small cart with a deep, wide basket so that nothing falls out of it on the way.
• Tire type is another important selection factor. The trolleys, designed for the transport of light loads, will come with plastic tires, some with protectors.If you are going to use the product on grass or other soft surfaces, get rid of the plastic tires. The advantage of this option is that they will not pop out, will not be punctured. Heavier trolleys are supplied with pneumatic wheels with bearing fit. These tires are made of rubber, filled with air, similar to car tires. They are necessary if you are going to transport bulky cargo over rocky or bumpy terrain. Products can have a different number of wheels.
• Durability is another criterion that cannot be ignored. The most durable material is steel, the metal trough has been used without damage for years. However, it is heavy, rusts, loses color over time, and is damaged by acidic substances such as compost. Polyethylene is an inexpensive option, it is resistant to scratches, like steel, but weighs much less, more comfortable in rainy weather. The most affordable material is plastic, it is lightweight, but, over time, it can be damaged by the sun, which leads to the formation of cracks. Therefore, it is best to store it in the shade when not in use.
• One of the important factors is your own strength and ability for physical labor. It is important to choose a product not only because of the need, but also because you have the opportunity to operate it for a long time.

Make sure to buy a cart that fits your anthropometric data, which you will use yourself. Moreover, they are divided into female, male, respectively, the latter will be heavier.

If you need a cart with a large capacity, but you cannot move it, you should choose one that connects to a tractor or ATV. If there is no transport, you will have to use a lighter one and make multiple trips.

Types of wheelbarrows

There are four main types of trolleys, the popularity of these models has been tested over time: station wagons, platforms, dump trucks and folding. Which one is the best to buy will depend on your personal needs.

• The universal ones have four vertical sides. They are suitable for transporting plants, fertilizers, wood chips and soil. Removable side panels provide great flexibility in use.
• Dump trucks are similar to station wagons, but have a unique ability to drop cargo. Used to transport all kinds of garden soil, wood chips, bulk materials. If you do a lot of excavation work, a heavy duty dump truck is your choice.
• The platforms do not have sides. They are used to transport bags, bulky, large objects such as stumps or large trees.
• Foldable ones are relevant if you have limited storage space. Their sides are usually made of fabric, and the frame is made of metal, which folds like an accordion. The carrying capacity of such wheelbarrows is not large.

You should carefully study the description of the products, choose the best for you. This is a guarantee of their successful use in the future.
