Product Information

Moving a heavily loaded wheelbarrow from one place to another without it tipping over certainly isn’t easy, and it can be very taxing on your arms and shoulders to keep it upright. So, if you’re not the strongest person out there, or perhaps you have old injuries that make things hard, this 2-wheeled wheelbarrow from Oypla might help. Tape measure – This might seem like a no-brainer, but having a reliable tape measure is crucial for making precise cuts and measurements. Again, whether you should buy a plastic or metal wheelbarrow will come down to your own personal needs. For shifting heavy loads, you are better off with a metal model as they tend to be much stronger and more durable than their plastic counterparts, but they are usually more expensive (the good ones anyway). There’s also the issue with rust and corrosion, and although this problem can be contained a bit by getting a galvanised barrow like the one we featured from Walsall Wheelbarrows, it will eventually get scratched off with regular use. When loading the skip, to get the most out of it, or in fact, the most into it, it is best to break up large items where possible, which will give you more room as you are able to more strategically place them in the skip. If you are short of space this length of ramp can be suitable. It is also useful for portable ramps at events or where assistance is available.

Ready to take on an exciting DIY challenge and build the ultimate cargo carrier for your garden, yard or construction projects? Creating a wheelbarrow ramp may seem like a daunting task, but with the right ingredients and a bit of elbow grease, you can craft a sturdy, efficient and safe ramp that will make your life a lot easier. First, let’s talk about the secret ingredients that will make your wheelbarrow ramp a success. You’ll need some lumber (preferably pressure-treated), screws, nails, a circular saw, a miter saw, a drill, a measuring tape, a speed square, and some safety gear (gloves, goggles and ear protection). Ready to go? Here’s how to start. Step 1: Measure Twice, Cut Once I’ve also heard of people using them as an emergency cover for things like petrol generators when it suddenly rains, using metal wheelbarrows as makeshift fire pits, or repurposing old wheelbarrows into beautiful garden features like these planters: Wheelbarrow repurposed as a planter – no need to throw it away once it’s past it! The first step (sorry!) is to assess the use of the ramp and the step or threshold that you need it to cover. You should load the heavier items in the bottom. Loading the heavier items into the bottom can help you get more in by allowing you to fit smaller items in the gaps around. It also makes the skip more stable and safer to transport. Be safewith a physical or mental impairment which has a long-term and substantial adverse effect upon his/her ability to carry out everyday activities; The longest, and therefore easiest slope, sometimes required by local authorities or social services to create the most accessible entrance for independent access and most often used for permanently installed ramps designed for public access. Step 3 - How long? The thing to think about when it comes to choosing how large a maximum load weight you want, is can you actually lift that much without hurting yourself? I mean, it’s fine to be pushing a fully loaded 90kg wheelbarrow if you’re particularly fit, but not everyone is, and if you’re only going to be filling it half way, you might as well save some money and buy a smaller barrow instead. Metal or plastic wheelbarrow? Common misconception: There is a common misconception that building a wheelbarrow ramp is difficult and time-consuming. However, with the right materials and tools, constructing a ramp can actually be quite easy! It is important to select high-quality materials, such as pressure-treated lumber and sturdy screws, to ensure the longevity and stability of your ramp.

Then there is the capacity of the wheelbarrow. This is often shown in litres, such as 75 litres, or 85 litres as in the case of the Draper 85L metal barrow. It could also be shown in a maximum weight load in either kilograms or pounds, and is sometimes shown in both litres and maximum weight. The maximum weight advertised isn’t always accurate though, so take it with a pinch of salt. The one in this photo was advertised as being able to hold over 160kg, but when we tested it, we thought different: Wheelbarrow suggests it can handle 160kg but from testing I would strongly disagree!!! Are you tired of lifting your heavy loads in your wheelbarrow? Do you feel frustrated every time you have to unload things off your wheelbarrow? Well, I can surely relate to this feeling. As a passionate gardener, I always had to move my mulch, fertilizers, and heavy pots around my garden, and it was a big challenge until I learned how to make a ramp for my wheelbarrow.

Choosing a wheelbarrow that I would recommend for allotments wasn’t an easy task. You see, there are just so many variables that come into it. Different people grow different things, and perform different tasks on their allotments, so choosing a ‘one-size-fits-all’ model was pretty much impossible.

The only real thing that was annoying about this wheelbarrow was that the instructions didn’t explain the assembly process properly, and some of the nuts were a bit fiddly to tighten up properly. It wasn’t anything life-ending, just a bit of a pain in the you-know-what. All being said, this is a very good two-wheeled wheelbarrow and definitely worth a look. Pros One of the most common mistakes made when building a wheelbarrow ramp is not properly securing it to the ground. By neglecting this important step, the ramp may shift or become unsteady, increasing the risk of injury. It is important to take the time to properly secure the ramp using reinforcement bars, stakes, or concrete anchors. Safety goggles – Before you get started, make sure you invest in a good pair of safety goggles. Eye injuries are all too common in woodworking, so be sure to protect your peepers! Well Simon, I want to mix large quantities of cement, and to do this I need a wheelbarrow that has enough depth to hold it. On top of that, it needs to be wide enough so that I can mix the cement with a shovel without banging into the sides every 5 seconds. But that’s not all. The wheelbarrow needs to be low enough off the floor so that I’m not having to lift the powdered concrete up too high to get it in there. Oh, and it has to be strong enough to hold the weight and be durable enough material so as to not get chipped and scratched by the shovel as I mix.”
