Let’s take a look at these factors in detail so you can find a wheelbarrow that suits your needs best. <\/p> A wheelbarrow’s load capacity<\/strong>, also known as weight capacity, is the total weight it’s built to carry. For example, a wheelbarrow with a 300-pounds load capacity can carry up to 300 pounds of materials. <\/p> If you’re planning to work with heavy loads, a wheelbarrow with a high load capacity may be what you need. (Some wheelbarrows, like the GOR6PS Gorilla Cart, can hold a whopping 1,200 pounds.)<\/p> Cubic foot capacity <\/strong>is different from a wheelbarrow’s load capacity. The cubic foot capacity measures the volume of materials the wheelbarrow’s tray can hold. A wheelbarrow with a 5 cubic foot capacity can hold a capacity of 5 cubic feet. <\/p> Keep in mind that cubic foot capacity is just as important as load capacity. <\/p> Here\u2019s why: You won’t get much work done with a wheelbarrow with high load capacity and low cubic foot capacity. A heavy-duty wheelbarrow like that might be strong, but you’ll have to take multiple trips if you have a high volume of materials. <\/p> Despite a wheelbarrow’s wheels making it feel lighter, navigating a heavyweight wheelbarrow can still prove challenging. <\/p> If you plan to use your wheelbarrow only for light work in the garden, you might prefer a lightweight wheelbarrow. Otherwise, you’ll be working harder than you need to when pushing and pulling your wheelbarrow. <\/p> A traditional wheelbarrow is equipped with a single wheel, but some are designed with two or four. What really is the difference?<\/p> A one-wheel wheelbarrow<\/strong> is often the easiest type to turn corners and navigate across the terrain. The drawback to one-wheelers is stability, as these wheelbarrows are prone to tipping over. <\/p> Two-wheelers<\/strong> are easier to balance, so you don’t have to worry as much about tipping. However, these wheelbarrows don’t maneuver as well over rough terrain as one-wheelers. <\/p> Four-wheel wheelbarrows<\/strong> are more commonly known as garden carts. Garden carts can sometimes be difficult to maneuver, but the benefit to four wheels is the sturdy, balanced platform they create. <\/p> What is the optimal number of wheelbarrow tires? <\/strong>It comes down to your personal preference. <\/p> The two most common tire types you’ll find on a wheelbarrow are air-filled pneumatic tires and solid rubber tires with no air. Pneumatic tires are similar to bicycle tires and will need regular inflating, whereas solid rubber tires have no air tubes. <\/p> When gathering our findings for the top 8 wheelbarrows, we ranked air-filled pneumatic tires above solid rubber tires. Solid wheel designs are convenient for homeowners who don’t want to inflate their tires, but pneumatic tires typically offer a smoother, cushioned ride and are more durable. <\/p> Most wheelbarrow trays are either made of steel or heavy-duty plastic. Both materials have their advantages. The best tray material for you will largely depend on how much weight you’ll need your wheelbarrow to hold. <\/p> Heavy-duty plastic trays shouldn’t be mistaken for low-quality wheelbarrows. These high-quality wheelbarrows can carry immense loads, like the plastic GOR6PS Gorilla Cart. Plastic wheelbarrows typically weigh less than steel, making them a popular alternative. They are also less expensive than steel. <\/p> Although plastic wheelbarrows are tough, steel trays will often hold more weight. Despite this advantage, steel wheelbarrows are typically more expensive and heavier than plastic wheelbarrows. Steel wheelbarrows also can rust if left exposed to certain elements. <\/p> A visual guide can be a handy tool.
