Kinds and differences of trolleys

The weight of an empty wheelbarrow should not be more than 35 kilograms, otherwise it will become too heavy for comfortable work. Body volumes are mainly from 70 to 150 liters for bulk materials and from 100 to 200 kilograms for piece products. Making smaller capacity and carrying capacity is not cost-effective, just like a large one, because only very strong people can work with cargoes over 200 kilograms.

Today, a single-wheeled wheelbarrow and a two-wheeled garden trolley are in demand, and the reason lies in their good maneuverability. If we compare them with each other, the single-wheelbarrow car has greater maneuverability, and the two-wheeled car has better stability and withstands more weight. Also in the course and the cart is a four-wheeled garden, which is used less often. All wheelbarrows differ in the type of handle: H-shaped and U-shaped. Another classification - trolley with a folding stop and with a constant.

Note! Pneumatic wheels make the movement of the wheelbarrow easier.

Wooden wheelbarrow

And what if you do not want to buy a cart for any reason? Well, in this case, the garden-building trolley can be made with own hands from improvised materials. Depending on what you have from the materials, you can decide which trolley to make, wooden or metal. First, let's look at how to assemble a wooden trolley.

Such a garden trolley with its own hands is assembled from improvised materials in two hours. You do not need to have special skills. To produce it, you can use pruning boards and boards, the only part that requires long boards - this is the basis on which the whole structure will be attached.

Note! There are no exact dimensions, they need to be adjusted for materials that are available.

The assembly order is as follows:

  • The frame is assembled. It is made of four boards, which are twisted into a square. Joints can be made overlapping to save time, and the frame will not be weakened by the insertion of grooves;
  • Further inside the structure are fastened two slats for installing wheels, better the same as used for the frame;
  • After this, a board-handle with a length of about three meters is fixed. It is fixed on top of the frame, so that loads do not destroy the connecting places of the frame with the wheelbarrow;
  • The cross handles for two hands are fixed;
  • The last is the wheel fixing. Wheels can be from an old bike or moped.

Wheelbarrow metal

Now consider the second version of the garden trolley with your own hands. Here everything is more complicated and it is necessary to have certain skills in working with metal, to brew and rivet it.

  • The frame is made integral with the handles in the form of a letter P from a pipe with a diameter of 21 millimeters. From its scraps a cross-bar, supporting struts, struts and a lodgement( the base under the body) are made;
  • Large radii are bent "into the cold", and the connections are welded by electric arc welding;
  • The body is a steel trough factory production. Based on its dimensions, the frame dimensions are calculated;
  • The body is fixed to the frame with four bolts;
  • For the undercarriage, you can use a wheel with a fork from any moped. The plug is brewed to the spar( power element of the structure);
  • To maintain the body in a horizontal position, when loading to the crossbar, the support posts are welded.

The construction of the chassis is very rigid and allows you to unload the wheelbarrows in three directions. If homemade garden trolleys will have a pneumatic wheel, loads of up to 60 kilograms can easily be transported even by an untrained person.

Note! To make it easier to move loads from inclined surfaces, you can install a handbrake with a cable. This can be done if a wheel with a built-in brake( from a moped, a motorcycle) is used.
