Purchase criteria
species
Electric / cordless wheelbarrow: If from one Electric wheelbarrow the talk is, it is logically a battery-powered wheelbarrow, because with a power cable the use of the device would be pretty utopian. The advantage of the electric wheelbarrow is that it generates less noise than the petrol-powered version. In addition, depending on the model, the battery lasts up to six hours - and then needs four to five hours to be recharged.

Gasoline powered wheelbarrow: The "battery" of the gasoline-powered wheelbarrow is the fuel that has to be poured into the tank provided. During operation, the device emits CO2, which is harmful to the environment. On the other hand, the gasoline-powered wheelbarrow is more powerful than an electric wheelbarrow. It usually lasts much longer when fully fueled and can generally also be loaded with higher loads. A major disadvantage is the volume during operation. Wear hearing protection!
Caterpillar: The so-called caterpillar is a special form of the motorized wheelbarrow. It is primarily used in the professional sector, but it can definitely also pay off in large private gardens. With a crawler wheelbarrow you can master inclines of up to 63 percent - depending on the model. Furthermore, the caterpillar allows safe transport work in the garden even in snow. Some versions are available with a snow plow as an accessory.

Specific features depending on the species
Depending on which type of motorized wheelbarrow you prefer, you should take a closer look at specific features. We will briefly summarize for you what is important for the three main types.
Electrical /Battery wheelbarrow:
- Battery type (choose lithium-ion battery!)
- Battery capacity (as long as possible)
- Battery charging time (the shorter the better)
Petrol wheelbarrow:
- Engine power
- Capacity of the tank (affects how often / quickly you have to refill fuel)
- Volume (every decibel less counts - especially for your neighbors)
- All-wheel drive (advantageous, better driving behavior)
Caterpillar:
- Engine power
- Quality / stability of the crawler tracks
- Climbing ability
Gear shift
The more gears there are, the better the ratio of the motorized wheelbarrow. There should be two (electric wheelbarrow) to three (gasoline and caterpillar wheelbarrow) forward gears - and of course there must also be a reverse gear.
speed
The speeds of motorized wheelbarrows are in principle adapted to walking speeds. With electric wheelbarrows, the maximum forward speed is usually 7 km / h, with gasoline-powered models it can be up to 16 km / h.
The reverse gear only serves as a maneuvering aid, which is why the speed is generally very low and usually does not reach more than 3.5 km / h.
Note: Remember that crawler wheelbarrows are generally slower than wheel-drive models.
Brakes
Make sure that your selected motorized wheelbarrow has working brakes (front and Rear brake, parking brake) so that you are always in control of the device keep.
Pitch angle
Also take a look at the maximum angle of incline and never exceed the specification when using your motorized wheelbarrow on slopes. Otherwise the wheelbarrow could tip over and seriously injure you. To be on the safe side, we even recommend that you always go a little below the value specified by the manufacturer.
Load capacity
Depending on what you want to transport with the motorized wheelbarrow, the load capacity should be sufficiently high. Top devices can withstand 300 to 500 kilograms.
Loading area
trough: If you want to move loose material such as earth or sand, a tub (trough attachment) is ideal.
Dumper: If you need more loading volume and want a tipping function, you are making the right choice with a dumper.
Bunk: A flatbed is perfect for transporting bulky items. With its flatness, it turns the garden tool into a hybrid of a wheelbarrow and a hand truck.
frequently asked Questions
What is a motorized wheelbarrow?
A motorized wheelbarrow is a wheelbarrow that is powered by a motor. This means that the gardener does not have to move the heavy cart forwards himself, but only needs to guide it - the built-in motor (electric / battery or combustion engine) does the driving. The motorized cart shows its advantages especially on slopes or when transporting extremely heavy goods.
How does a motorized wheelbarrow work?
A motorized wheelbarrow always has a built-in motor, which, depending on the type, is fed by the battery or fuel. As soon as you switch on the motor, the device moves by itself at a certain speed. You then only have the task of guiding / steering the cart using the handles.
