Why Choose 1- vs. 2-Wheelbarrows for Your Landscaping Crew?

Both 1-wheel and 2-wheel wheelbarrows are used by landscapers. The classic single-wheeled wheelbarrow remains useful for lighter loads and tight spaces since only one wheel gives them a higher turning capacity. Dual-wheeled wheelbarrows are harder to steer in small spaces but can carry much heavier loads in open areas.

Poly Tray vs. Steel Tray Wheelbarrows

Generally speaking, poly plastic wheelbarrows are for carrying lightweight materials while steel wheelbarrows are best for heavy materials and industrial equipment. Plastic trays are rustproof but can become brittle or fade after extended weather exposure.

Why Pneumatic Tires for My Wheelbarrow?

Pneumatic wheelbarrow tires far outshine foam flat-free tires. Since they absorb bumps and shocks better, they transport materials more smoothly. Pneumatic tires also have more traction on uneven terrain, are easier to maneuver and can move much faster. Flat-free tires are mainly for situations where pneumatics would have a high risk of puncture.
