In the stable it always happens that things have to be transported back and forth. A large wheelbarrow for the stable is therefore an indispensable accessory for everyday stable work. Make your work easier and buy a large wheelbarrow. 

Here we present the different materials, costs, sizes and volumes of wheelbarrows and answer important questions.

What is a stable wheelbarrow? 

A stable wheelbarrow is a piece of transport equipment that is mainly used in construction, gardening, agriculture or animal husbandry. It typically consists of a large, flat or slightly curved loading surface mounted on a wheel. There are two handles on the other side that are used to push and steer the wheelbarrow.

The wheelbarrow makes it easy to transport materials such as soil, sand, gravel, stones, plants or building materials over short distances. The wheel at the front transfers most of the weight to the wheel, which means that the person pushing the wheelbarrow has to exert less force. This makes the wheelbarrow particularly effective for transporting heavy loads.

Who are wheelbarrows suitable for? 

Wheelbarrows are suitable for people and professional groups who regularly have to transport heavy or unwieldy materials. Gardeners and hobby gardeners benefit from wheelbarrows as they can use them to move soil, plants, mulch and garden tools effortlessly around the garden. Wheelbarrows are also indispensable in the construction industry, as they make it easier to transport sand, gravel, cement and other building materials.

Farmers and stable operators also often use wheelbarrows to transport feed, bedding, manure and other materials within the stables or across the grounds. Wheelbarrows are also ideal for landscape gardeners and landscapers, who use them to transport plants, stones, tools and other materials on construction sites.

Even DIY enthusiasts and people carrying out major home projects or renovations find wheelbarrows a useful tool for moving building materials and waste. Finally, wheelbarrows are also practical in many other contexts, whether for maintaining parks, allotments or organising events and festivals, where they provide support during set-up and dismantling.

What material are large wheelbarrows for the stable made of?

Large wheelbarrows for the stable are usually made of metal or plastic. Wheelbarrows made of metal are robust and durable. Plastic wheelbarrows stand out because they are light in weight, weatherproof and often available in different colours.

How much does a large wheelbarrow for the stable cost? 

A large wheelbarrow for the barn costs about €100 to €820 with a capacity between 90 litres and 400 litres. Motorised wheelbarrows, on the other hand, cost between €4,000 and €8,000 with a capacity between 100 litres and 550 litres. The price varies not only with the different sizes, but also with the different materials.

What types of wheelbarrows are there for the stable?

There are the following types of wheelbarrows for the barn:

• the wheelbarrow with one wheel

• the wheelbarrow with two wheels

• the wheelbarrow with three wheels

• the tipping barrow

• the motorised wheelbarrow

Wheelbarrow with one wheel

This classic version of the wheelbarrow is probably the best known and most widely used. It is characterised by its high manoeuvrability, as it is easy to steer and manoeuvre around tight bends. However, thanks to the single wheel, it is also less stable, especially with unevenly distributed loads or on uneven terrain. This wheelbarrow is ideal for smaller stables or jobs where precision and flexibility are required.

Wheelbarrow with two wheels

This version offers significantly more stability than the single-wheeled wheelbarrow, as it stands on two wheels. This makes it particularly suitable for heavier loads and longer distances, as the weight is distributed more evenly and the risk of tipping over is reduced. It is slightly less manoeuvrable than the single-wheeled wheelbarrow, but offers more comfort and safety for large quantities of manure or feed.

Wheelbarrow with three wheels

This wheelbarrow combines the advantages of the one- and two-wheeled models. It has two wheels at the front for extra stability and a single wheel at the rear, which acts as a steering wheel. This enables good manoeuvrability and a high load capacity at the same time. It is particularly suitable for uneven terrain and offers a good balance between stability and manoeuvrability.

Dump truck

The tipping trolley is specially designed for easy unloading of heavy loads. It has a mechanism that allows the container to be tilted forwards and the contents emptied quickly and efficiently. This is particularly useful for large quantities of manure or heavy feed, as it reduces physical strain and makes work easier. Tipping carts are often fitted with robust wheels and sturdy frames to cope with the extra strain of tipping.

Motorised wheelbarrow

The motorised wheelbarrow is a modern and powerful solution for heavy work in the barn. Equipped with a small motor that assists the movement, this wheelbarrow can transport heavy loads without great effort. It is particularly useful in large stables or on extensive grounds where frequent and heavy transport is required. 

What are the advantages of a wheelbarrow? 

The wheelbarrow offers several advantages, such as helping to transport heavy loads, reducing the risk of injury, efficiency and saving time. The advantages of the wheelbarrow are explained in more detail below. 

1. Transport of heavy loadsA wheelbarrow enables a person to transport heavy loads such as soil, stones, building materials or other materials over short distances without having to carry the full load.
2. EfficiencyUsing a wheelbarrow can speed up work processes and increase efficiency. More material can be moved faster than with manual transport.
3. ErgonomicsThe design of the wheelbarrow distributes the weight on the wheel, making it easier to move heavy loads without overloading the back or arm forces that would occur with manual carrying.
4. VersatilityWheelbarrows are versatile and can be used in various environments such as construction, gardening, agriculture and DIY projects. They can be used for transporting materials, tools, plants and much more.
5. Stability and manoeuvrabilityDepending on the model, wheelbarrows offer good stability on uneven terrain and are often more manoeuvrable than other means of transport such as handcarts or handcarts.
6. Reduction of injury risksUse of a wheelbarrow can reduce the risk of injury caused by lifting and carrying heavy loads. This is particularly important for the health and safety of workers.
7. Easy to cleanModern wheelbarrows made of robust materials such as steel or plastic are often easy to clean and require only minimal maintenance to maintain their functionality.

How heavy are large wheelbarrows?

Large wheelbarrows weigh between 11 kg and 220 kg. It depends on whether you choose a conventional wheelbarrow with one wheel made of plastic or a motorised wheelbarrow with three wheels made of galvanised metal. The volume also plays a role in the weight.

How much space is there in a large wheelbarrow?

In a large wheelbarrow there is room for a volume of between 90 litres and 550 litres. Depending on the contents and how much you want to transport in the wheelbarrow, you should choose either a wheelbarrow with a higher or a lower carrying capacity.

What should you consider when buying a wheelbarrow?

When buying a wheelbarrow, you should first make sure that you buy the right size with sufficient volume. You should also consider the material of the loading surface. Steel is robust and durable, but heavier and susceptible to rust, while plastic is lighter and rust-free, but less robust for heavy loads. The capacity should be chosen to suit the transport requirements, with larger capacities being useful for more extensive work.

When it comes to wheels, unicycles are more manoeuvrable and better suited to uneven terrain, while two-wheelers are more stable and easier to handle on level ground. Wheels with pneumatic tyres offer better shock absorption, while solid rubber or PU wheels are puncture-proof and low-maintenance. Ergonomic handles with anti-slip coatings offer more comfort and a better grip.

A sturdy frame made of steel or aluminium increases the wheelbarrow's durability. The weight of the wheelbarrow should also be taken into account: Lighter models are easier to manoeuvre, while heavier models are more stable and can carry more weight. 

How should the wheelbarrow be cleaned and maintained?

Below are some steps and tips on how to clean and maintain your wheelbarrow properly.

Firstly, remove all materials from the wheelbarrow and use a brush or broom to remove loose dirt and debris. You can then rinse the wheelbarrow with a garden hose to loosen stubborn dirt and debris. If necessary, you can also use a mixture of water and mild detergent to thoroughly clean the interior and exterior surfaces. It is best to use a brush with hard bristles to remove stubborn stains. After cleaning, allow the wheelbarrow to air dry completely to prevent rust from forming, especially on metal models.

In addition to cleaning, regular maintenance of the wheelbarrow is also important. Regularly check the condition of the wheelbarrow, including the wheels, handles and frame. Look out for signs of wear, cracks or rust. Lubricate the wheel bearings regularly with a suitable lubricant to ensure smooth movement and check that the wheels are properly secured. With metal wheelbarrows, you should also regularly check for rust spots and treat them immediately by sanding down rusty areas and applying a rust protection primer and paint to prevent further rust.

You should also check the wheelbarrow handles for cracks or wear and replace them if necessary. Wooden handles can be treated with wood preservative or oil to protect them from moisture and prolong their life. Store the wheelbarrow in a dry, sheltered place when not in use and, if possible, hang it up or stand it upright to take the weight off the wheels and save space. In addition, repair minor damage immediately to avoid major problems and replace defective parts if necessary.

Regular cleaning and careful maintenance will keep your wheelbarrow in good condition and ready for daily use. 

What can you transport with a large wheelbarrow?

In large wheelbarrows, you can transport various contents in the stable. For example, you can use the wheelbarrow for mucking out the stable, i.e. for transporting manure. You can also use it to transport horse feed or accessories such as a saddle or bridle.

Wheelbarrows can also be used to transport liquids such as water or sand for the indoor riding arena or riding arena.
