flatbed wheelbarrow on a big wheel type thing

[Gill Catton]

A while ago a chap put a post up on what I think was an already running thread about a piece of equipment he'd come up with which was like a cross between a wheel barrow and a cart.... can anyone remember what the name of this thing was or the thread it was part of?

[yellowhammer]

I haven't seen that thread but do you mean this sort of thing;

The Tackle Box - carp fishing tackle, fishing tackle, fishing tackle shops, fishing equipment, specialist fishing tackle

Wouldn't a team of sherpas be easier?

[Gill Catton]

hmmm close but this thing had like a mountainbike tyre on the front which is ideal, I want one to transport reptile survey tiles to sites and these are often abandoned old rutted fields, this cart thing looked like it would be easier to control over that type of ground

Hi Gill
I found these on Google Easybarrow small and large barrows, wheelbarrows, powered, electric, trailers, trucks trolleys garden tools and equipment

Thank you for the link, some good stuff there, I have tried a 'black and Decker' trolley type thing before but found it just too low to the ground and too hard to pull, have also tried a standard wheelbarrow again the main body is too low to the ground and it's a right ooooooo trying to pull the thing straight!! You're praying for new wrists by the end of the day!

we use a tracked skip loader to move loads arround on sites that are too rutted/narrow/wet etc to take the van , and it is a totally different standard to using a manual barrow.

too expensive to buy but the hire charges are pretty reasonable at £50 per day or £125 per week ::::::::> H e l p f u lxe H i r i n g sxe L t d <::::::::

Thanks Pete, good link!

A friend has found what I was after though it's this:

Rough ground barrow all terrain trolley it's a nomie

That's a nice bit of kit, good attitude from the company as well. I'd still want a sherpa to push it for me though

There was one in the Argos catalogue
and this one

interesting link gill - i was considering one for work until i saw the price a little expensive for four bits of wood and a bike wheel
