- Heavy loads
- Concrete
- Contractor use
A no-nonsense steel contractor barrow built for the punishing loads that destroy homeowner-grade poly trays. If you mix concrete or move gravel, the seamless steel pan and single pivoting wheel are exactly what the job needs.
Pros
- Seamless steel tray shrugs off sharp gravel, rebar and mixed concrete that would crack a poly tub
- Single 16 in pneumatic wheel pivots tightly, so you can tip and dump precisely between forms and footings
- Patented leg-stabilizer design is roughly 40% more tip-resistant than a standard steel barrow
Cons
- Steel tray plus tubed tire makes it heavy (~40+ lb empty), so it is tiring to maneuver when full
- Single wheel demands wrist and core strength to balance a loaded barrow on uneven ground
- Pneumatic tube can go flat and needs occasional air; a stray nail on a jobsite will drop it

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why a steel tray instead of poly?
- Because of what goes in it. A seamless heavy-gauge steel tray shrugs off sharp gravel, rebar and mixed concrete that would crack a poly tub. For yard mulch a poly tub is fine; for construction debris it is not.
- What is the leg-stabilizer design for?
- Tip resistance. The patented legs make it roughly 40% more tip-resistant than a standard steel barrow, which matters when you set down a heavy load on uneven ground.
- How much does it weigh empty?
- Over 40 lb before you put anything in it, thanks to the steel tray and tubed tire. That weight is why it survives abuse and also why it is tiring to run loaded all day.
