When a modern person needs to move goods, then wheelbarrows and carts immediately come to mind. These small “vehicles” make it easier for the owner by taking all the load on their wheels. There are many different models and modifications of bogies and wheelbarrows, they differ in load capacity, design, price, etc. To choose the most suitable option for yourself, you should heed the recommendations of our experts.

How to choose a garden cart

Appointment. First of all, when choosing a wheelbarrow or trolley, you should determine the range of tasks for it.

1. If you plan to start building or renewing the soil in a greenhouse at the dacha, then you definitely need to buy a garden wheelbarrow. These workers are distinguished by their spaciousness, strength, ease of movement on grass and ground.
2. But when the time comes to transport the crop from the dacha to the apartment, then you will need a shopping cart. You can securely fasten a box or bag with fruits or vegetables on it, and drag the cart behind you in full growth. Small wheels are designed to move on hard and level road surfaces.

Roominess and carrying capacity. The next important factor when choosing a reliable assistant will be spaciousness and carrying capacity.

1. When carrying out construction work, you must pay attention to the carrying capacity of the wheelbarrow. Sand, concrete, stones, bricks weigh a lot, so it is better to give preference to a model with a safety margin. Its carrying capacity should be 150-250 kg.
2. For work in the garden or in the garden, you have to move large volumes of grass, branches, foliage, compost. In this case, the volume of the body becomes more important. Even filling the wheelbarrow with plant waste to the top, the weight of the load will be small. Therefore, for work on a personal plot, it is preferable to buy a volumetric model with a body of 100-150 liters.
3. The trolleys should be selected based on their capacity. Even bulky items can be securely fastened with ropes. But with an excess of mass, the wheels may not withstand. The optimal option for summer residents is a trolley with a carrying capacity of 60-100 kg.

Design features. There are several design considerations for wheelbarrows and carts to consider when purchasing.

1. Wheels for gardening or construction equipment should be wide, high and pneumatic. One-wheeled models are distinguished by their maneuverability and speed of movement. But it becomes difficult to maintain balance at full load. Better stability is demonstrated by two-wheeled cars, besides, the structure is more durable. But turning around on the spot is already problematic, and more efforts are required to move along an uneven section. The trolleys are equipped with small solid rubber wheels. Their weakest point is the inner bore diameter. It is best to give preference to models with a bearing in a metal disc.
2. The frame of both wheelbarrows and carts is most often made of pipes. Only their diameter is seriously different. Frames in which the pipes are connected by welding have the maximum strength. In order for the frame of the equipment to remain strong for many years, it must be protected by a galvanic or paintwork. Powder (polymer) paints demonstrate the maximum durability.
