Wheelbarrow Tips

  • To move heavy materials, buy a good quality wheelbarrow with a pneumatic tire, strong wooden handles and 4 to 6 cubic foot capacity. 

  • Load two-thirds of the weight toward the front of the wheelbarrow to help balance it, keeping weight off the handles. Take partial loads when moving heavier materials.
