The Sherlock 100L Poly Wide Wheel Tray Wheelbarrow pairs a UV treated polypropylene tray with a wide pneumatic wheel. It carries 100 litres of soil, mulch or green waste in a tray that cannot rust, and the wide tyre keeps a heavy load tracking straight. It arrives fully assembled.
What it does
-
A tray that will not corrode. UV treated polypropylene with a double lip holds 100 litres and shrugs off the wet compost that eats a painted steel tray from inside.
-
Reinforced where barrows fail. A 7mm shock board backs the tray, and the legs and front stays are fully welded 25mm x 5mm solid flat steel.
-
Stability from the wheel up. A wide 16 inch 4 ply pneumatic tyre on a powder coated steel rim with sealed bearings spreads the load across soft ground.
-
Comfortable when loaded. Galvanised steel handles carry premium grips, so a full barrow of wet soil stays manageable over a long run.
How to use it
Load over the wheel, not towards the handles. The weight then sits on the axle and your arms only steer. Fill level with the lip rather than heaping.
Measure your narrowest gate first: the barrow is 1555mm long, 705mm wide and 680mm high, and the tray does not fold. Keep air in the tyre, hose the tray out after concrete or manure, and store it under cover. The sealed bearings ask for nothing beyond keeping grit off the hub.
What it suits
Garden and landscaping work. Moving potting mix, mulch, compost and soil around a suburban block is exactly what 100 litres and a wide tyre are for.
Renovations and DIY. Sand, rubble and mixed concrete ride well in a plastic tray, which releases a sticky load more easily than steel and washes out clean.
Light trade work. The welded frame and sealed bearings are why it is listed for regular working days as well as weekend projects.
It is not the barrow for constant loads of sharp demolition rock, where a steel tray takes the punishment better. Delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
