The Sherlock 100L Steel Tray Wide Wheel Wheelbarrow is the heavy end of the range: a 0.9mm powder coated steel tray on a fully welded frame, holding 100 litres. Choose it if you are shifting soil, rubble and mixed concrete rather than leaf litter. It arrives fully assembled.
What it does
-
Steel where it takes the hits. The 0.9mm powder coated tray has a rolled steel lip and a 7mm shock board behind it, so shovel strikes do not deform it.
-
A frame that does not flex. Legs and front stays are 25mm x 5mm solid flat steel, fully welded rather than bolted.
-
Wide wheel, loaded stability. A 16 inch 4 ply pneumatic tyre on sealed bearings floats over soft turf and keeps a full tray upright on uneven ground.
-
Handles that outlast the job. Galvanised steel arms carry premium grips, so there is no timber to split and no bare tube to rust.
How to use it
Load over the axle and fill level with the rolled lip. A heaped tray of wet soil is heavier than it looks, and that weight belongs on the wheel.
Check your access first: the barrow runs 1555mm long, 670mm wide and 670mm high, and the tray is fixed rather than folding. Wash concrete, fertiliser and manure out the same day, because powder coating protects steel only while it is intact. Keep the tyre inflated and store it out of the weather.
What it suits
Renovation and building work. Sand, rubble and mixed concrete are heavy, abrasive loads, and a steel tray carries them without flexing or splitting.
Bulk garden materials. Soil, mulch and compost move faster in 100 litre loads, particularly when you are spreading across a whole bed.
Regular household projects. Built for repeat use rather than one weekend, it earns its keep on a block that always has something on the go.
Steel rusts wherever the coating is damaged, and it is heavier to push empty than the poly tray version, so it is the wrong pick if it must live outside uncovered. Delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
