Wheelbarrow for concrete - a device for transporting soil, seedlings, fertilizers, harvested crops, boards, cement, gravel, tools. Liquid and bulk substances are transported in a wheelbarrow. Such a device is characterized by high cross-country ability. True, in the process of transportation, it is required to raise the wheelbarrow, which is inconvenient and leads to employee fatigue.

Garden cart - unlike a wheelbarrow, it does not need to be lifted off the ground and is more compact. In terms of carrying capacity and cross-country ability, it is inferior to the previous vehicle, suitable for moving solid loads (bulk and liquid materials are transported only in packaging). The best option for harvesting beets, potatoes, carrots, watermelons, melons.

Carrying capacity
The maximum permissible weight of the load for which the wheelbarrow / trolley is designed. For gardening, models with a carrying capacity of 60-120 kg are used. In construction, devices are used in which this parameter reaches 150-320 kg. Most models will cope with increased loads, but this reduces the service life and increases the likelihood of unexpected breakdown.

Most often, they choose a wheelbarrow / trolley with a carrying capacity of 100-200 kg (depending on the tasks). It is impractical to buy an option less than 100 kg, a model over 200 kg is difficult to control, and significant physical efforts are required to move it.

Body
Volume - the higher this parameter, the more cargo will fit into the wheelbarrow. In this case, the actual capacity of the device exceeds the nominal volume, since many materials are loaded “with a slide”. For gardening wheelbarrows, the body volume is 60-130 liters.

Important: if the carrying capacity is taken into account when transporting solid heavy objects, then the volume comes to the fore when it is required to transport lighter bulk or liquid materials. The carrying capacity is determined by the weight of the materials, and the volume is determined by their dimensions. It is worth considering that with the same volume occupied, the weight of the materials may differ.
