Possible applications

A large wheelbarrow can be used to:

1. transporting litter - Efficient distribution in the boxes.

2. disposal of manure - Easy removal from the stable area.

3. transporting tools - Always have all the tools you need to hand.

A wheelbarrow for the stable is robust and available in various sizes and designs. Wheelbarrows are a versatile aid for the stable and yard work. High-quality wheelbarrows are durable and suitable for small, medium and heavy loads. Yard wheelbarrows are made of plastic or metal.

A wheelbarrow typically consists of a large, slightly curved trough, which is mounted on one or more wheels and feet. There are two handles at the front of the trough, which are used to push and steer the wheelbarrow. A large part of the weight is transferred to the wheelbarrow wheels, which means that the person pushing the wheelbarrow has to exert less force.

Benefit from our spacious transport barrow from Alfako with a capacity of 450 litres. Our stable wheelbarrow is used for transporting feed or other materials, for example. A stable wheelbarrow makes work easier and is therefore an essential accessory for everyday stable work.

What is a wheelbarrow used for in the stable?

A wheelbarrow in the stable is used to move bulky or heavy loads and different materials more easily. The wheelbarrow for the stable is used, for example, to transport horse manure from the horse box to the dung heap, bedding from the barn to the horse box and feed for the daily feeding of the animals.

Large deep trough trolleys are used to transport accessories such as saddles, blankets or bridles in the stable. Transport barrows are used to transport water or sand for the riding hall or riding arena. In addition to transporting horse equipment, a stable wheelbarrow is also used to transport tools, brooms, bulk goods, waste, building materials, plants and potting soil, for example.

What types of wheelbarrows are there for the stable?

There are different types of wheelbarrows for the stable, such as wheelbarrows with 1 wheel, 2 wheels or 3 wheels. For example, wheelbarrows with a tipping function, farmyard wheelbarrows with ball bearings and transport wheelbarrows with a motor are suitable for the stable. In general, there is a large selection of barrows for the stable.

All types of wheelbarrows for the barn are presented in detail in the following list.

• Wheelbarrow with 1 wheel: Wheelbarrows with 1 wheel are very manoeuvrable, as they can be turned easily even in tight spaces. Single-wheel transport barrows are also suitable for uneven ground. The disadvantage of single-wheel wheelbarrows is that they are relatively unstable and at least half of the weight has to be carried and balanced on the handles.
• Wheelbarrow with 2 wheels: Wheelbarrows with 2 wheels are more stable than transport barrows with 1 wheel, as there is less risk of tipping over. The weight of two-wheeled farmyard barrows is better distributed and they are very stable. The disadvantage of farmyard trolleys with 2 wheels is that they require more space for driving as they are less manoeuvrable.
• Wheelbarrow with 3 wheels: Wheelbarrows with 3 wheels have a high capacity and are easy on the back, as the load rests completely on all 3 wheels. Three-wheeled wheelbarrows are equipped with swivel castors and a parking brake. The disadvantage of three-wheeled yard trolleys is that their own weight is very high and they are difficult to manoeuvre.
• Wheelbarrow with tipping function: Wheelbarrows with a tipping function make it easy to unload the contents so that the wheelbarrow does not have to be lifted when tipping out. When frequently unloading hay or bedding in a horse box, for example, the tipping barrow saves time and energy. The disadvantage of the transport barrow with tipping function is that it is more expensive than other barrows.
• Wheelbarrow with ball bearing: Wheelbarrows with ball bearings are particularly suitable for easy transport of heavy loads. Less effort is required with a wheelbarrow with ball bearings, which is noticeably more comfortable, especially on longer journeys. The disadvantage of transport trolleys with ball bearings is that the ball bearing gets dirty easily and requires a high level of maintenance.
• Wheelbarrow with motor: Motorised wheelbarrows are suitable for transporting heavy loads on hilly terrain. The motor of the transport barrows helps with pulling and pushing so that people do not have to exert any force. The disadvantage of motorised yard trolleys is that they are more expensive than conventional trolleys and require maintenance and repairs.

How big are wheelbarrows for the barn?

Small wheelbarrows for the stable have a capacity of 90 to 100 litres, medium wheelbarrows 200 to 300 litres and large deep trough wheelbarrows 400 to 500 litres. Yard barrows for children have a capacity of 40 litres. The load capacity and capacity depend on the material of the trough and the wheelbarrow tyres.

The capacity of the wheelbarrow must be taken into account depending on what you want to transport and how much weight these loads take up. It is important to consider the strength of the person pushing the wheelbarrow (child, adult or senior) when choosing the size of the wheelbarrow so that you can decide on the right length. Small wheelbarrows have an average length of 150 cm, medium wheelbarrows 160 cm and large deep trough wheelbarrows over 200 cm.

What materials are wheelbarrows made of?

Wheelbarrows are made of plastic, sheet metal or steel. Wheelbarrows made of metal such as sheet metal or steel are very robust and are also suitable for particularly heavy loads. Plastic wheelbarrows have a low weight, are weather-resistant and are available in several colours.

The wheels of transport trolleys are made of air-filled rubber or solid rubber and the handles are made of wood. The troughs of wheelbarrows with a high capacity are made of metal and those with a lower capacity are made of plastic. Bear in mind that the lighter the wheelbarrow, the thinner the material and the less stable the wheelbarrow. The price and load capacity vary depending on the material of the wheelbarrow.

What are the advantages of a wheelbarrow in the barn?

The main advantages of a wheelbarrow are that they are highly stable and manoeuvrable, allow loads to be transported quickly and easily over long distances, reduce injuries and increase efficiency. Wheelbarrows are versatile and easy to maintain. 

All the advantages of the wheelbarrow in the barn are explained in detail in the following list. 

• Offers stability and manoeuvrability: Depending on the model, a wheelbarrow offers good stability and manoeuvrability, even on uneven terrain. A transport wheelbarrow for the stable, especially with one wheel, is more manoeuvrable than other means of transport such as a handcart or handcart.
• Enables fast transport of loads: A yard trolley enables loads to be transported quickly and easily, even over long distances. Deep trough barrows can carry very large loads such as feed, manure, building materials or other materials without having to carry the full weight themselves.
• Reduces injuries: Using a wheelbarrow reduces injuries to people potentially caused by lifting and carrying heavy loads. Riders have less back pain with a transport barrow and can carry heavy weights more ergonomically and with less strain on their joints. 
• Increases efficiency: Using a wheelbarrow speeds up work processes in the barn and increases efficiency. More material can be moved more quickly with a yard wheelbarrow than with manual transport.
• Versatile in use: Wheelbarrows are versatile in the stable and can be used in different environments such as in the horse box, in the yard, in the arena, in the riding hall and in the riding arena. Transport barrows are used by farmers, gardeners, stable operators and horse owners.
• Easy to clean: Modern wheelbarrows made from robust materials such as steel or plastic are easy to clean and require minimal maintenance to maintain their functionality. Depending on their intended use, yard wheelbarrows only need to be cleaned with a garden hose or a safe cleaning agent.
• Improves ergonomics: A wheelbarrow improves ergonomics as the design of the wheelbarrow distributes the weight over the wheels. A well-loaded wheelbarrow promotes an upright posture, as pushing is more efficient than carrying and repetitive lifting is reduced.

What should you look out for when buying a wheelbarrow?

When buying a wheelbarrow, you should make sure that the handle fits comfortably in your hand, that the material is galvanised and that the capacity matches the required load-bearing capacity. When buying a new wheelbarrow, make sure that the wheels have the necessary load capacity.

Galvanised metal is important for transport trolleys to prevent rust and increase the service life of the wheelbarrow. Pay attention to the maximum load capacity of the deep wheelbarrow. Air-filled rubber tyres need to be refilled with air, but they can withstand more weight. Solid rubber tyres are very robust and can withstand driving over sharp objects, but are less suitable for uneven surfaces.
