Unloading concrete of a mix on site mixer last week and borrowed one of there barrows. Made by belle . Plastic shell. Well tough.better than our one job builders merchant rubbish. Got a garden hammerlin out of a skip ten years ago that's good, French I think.

Is that code for something else

 

In answer to your question Haemmerlin builders, tough as hell.

Been using a twin wheeled Haemmerlin with the galvanised bucket for the past year. Very solid barrow. Bit heavy to push for some, but i dont mind. Great for strapping brash to it. Nice comfy handles. Probably not in stock to test drive anywhere (unless you're lucky).

 

Niggles: needs careful loading to prevent tipping itself forwards.... but this is only because the design is to get the weight over the wheels to make it easier to lift & push.

The jewsons blue ones are way better than the chillington ones or any of the diy centre rubbish.

I got a huge alloy one from the wheel barrow company which is great for logs, grass, heavy stuff .

 

It's was about £70 and has lasted well

 

Chillington barrows are good if your want steel

for chillington barrows

I bought a cheap Galvainsed Chillington one from WICKES about 4 years ago for around £30. Seems to have lasted ok and is battered from being overloaded too many times.

 

I bought the Mrs one of the twin wheel jobbies of ebay for mucking out, but the bucket is so huge that I can't shift it when it's properly full. Mind you I'm not to sure about it being too suitable as the bucket is plastic. Ok for GG poo but maybe not 150kg of logs....

Personally I seem to bend and split all of the above within weeks so would say the Arb trolley if you have the cash.
