The time when wheelbarrows for transportation of any goods were made independently from scrap materials, the most popular of which was an old baby carriage for gardening, has passed. Two-wheel reinforced garden wheelbarrows for summer cottages are made of aluminum, galvanized or painted steel. The material for the body can also be plastic. The volume of these wheelbarrows is slightly less, weighing about 15 kg. Body material options provide resistance to aggressive environments (moisture, manure, soil).

By the number of wheels are divided into:

  • unicycle;
  • two-wheeled;
  • multi-wheeled (three or more wheels).

Note! Hand garden wheelbarrows are, with rare exceptions, one- or two-wheeled products.

Garden trolley 2-wheeled

Advantages of two-wheeled carts for giving:

  • more resistant;
  • there is an axle in the design, due to this it is more durable, having the same dimensions, and holds more weight.

  • less maneuverable;
  • not effective when surfaces are at different levels.

Note! Structurally, a two-wheeled manual garden wheelbarrow is simple: the frame, body, wheels, handles, all parts are connected into a single structure. Therefore, if the product is purchased disassembled, it will not be difficult to assemble it at home.

Two-wheeled garden wheelbarrow: characteristics

To choose a garden wheelbarrow (one- or two-wheeled product), it is necessary to evaluate the following parameters:

  • Characteristics of the site (area, height differences, wide, narrow).
  • Characteristics of goods planned for transportation (foliage, twigs, seedlings, etc.).

One Wheel Light Duty Wheelbarrow

Garden wheelbarrow

A one-wheeled car is suitable for these purposes. If more weighty materials are added (humus, manure, sawdust), then the choice is behind a two-wheeled wheelbarrow. The characteristics of the site for this type of wheelbarrow are also important.

The carrying capacity of a two-wheeled wheelbarrow for giving is an essential indicator of the characteristics of the product. The optimal weight is 60-150 kg. If the upper bar is exceeded, then this product is for general construction work.

Note! The higher the carrying capacity, the weaker the maneuverability, the worse the handling.

To assess the characteristics of a product, the weight of a wheelbarrow is important, a good indicator is no more than 35 kg, a weight of 15-25 kg is considered ideal.

The capacity indicator is calculated in liters, an ordinary 2-wheel garden trolley holds 60-120 liters. This volume is enough for a garden and vegetable garden.

Important! The diameter of the wheels affects the comfort of movement: the diameter is larger - the permeability is higher, the shock absorption is softer. Wheels with a diameter of 30-50 cm are considered large.

Products on pneumatics and metal discs are popular. There are tubeless options on the market that are easy to maintain and repair. More reliable, but also more expensive, garden wheelbarrows with wheel axles on bearings.

The wheels should be located as close to the body (trough) as possible, it is better if they are under it.

There are two requirements for handles:

  • The user must stand freely between them.
  • The material is plastic or rubber, this greatly facilitates operation. The frame should be secure by default. This condition is met by products made of seamless steel pipes. To give the structure additional rigidity, the frame has a bend under the body.

Basic rules for choosing a garden cart

Body shape:

  • trapezoidal - allows you to unload cargo easily;
  • square - it is more rational to place the load inside.

The service life of the wheelbarrow determines the optimal selection of material. Four types of material are used:

  • Wood is an environmentally friendly material that requires careful maintenance. It is rarely used recently.
  • Plastic. This option is less reliable and resistant to the external environment. Garden trolley 2-wheeled with a plastic body can be used for "lighter" work, for example, transportation of humus, dry soil, garden waste, after autumn work. It is highly undesirable to transport heavy loads, construction waste on it.
  • The most optimal, although somewhat more expensive, garden wheelbarrows, reinforced from galvanized steel, since the galvanized coating prevents rust. The wall thickness of such a body is 0.8-1.5 mm, which contributes to the long service life of the product.
  • The most exotic material is the body of willow rods. Such a wheelbarrow is durable and environmentally friendly. Its weight is about 8 kg, and its carrying capacity is about 40 kg. Their main purpose is to transport seedlings, autumn garden debris.
