Explore Our Heavy-Duty Commercial Wheelbarrows Offering the Best Features
Choosing the best commercial-grade landscape wheelbarrow for your jobs is essential for any contractor in the green industry. Sure, you might think you want steel frames with a heavy duty, high load capacity steel tray. But then there are the lightweight models with comfortable handles and ergonomic designs that make them much easier to load and unload.
It can be hard to choose the best heavy-duty wheelbarrow, with so many choices and features to choose from these days. And many times, each feature can have its advantages and drawbacks. So with wheelbarrows, it’s often a balancing act.
That’s why Reinders pros offer these tips when it comes to choosing features on heavy duty landscaping wheelbarrows:
Steel versus poly
Steel wheelbarrows are several times stronger and more durable than those made of plastic - more specifically, polyethylene.
Polyethylene is the most popular plastic in the world and is used in many a gardening tool and container. Poly wheelbarrows are extremely lightweight, making them a great choice for contractors who regularly have to carry that 300 pound load long distances. On the other hand, polyethylene is more susceptible to bending, warping and cracking.
However, the high-density polyethylene used in the commercial-use landscaping wheelbarrows we offer can take a ton of abuse for being so light. Chances are, if you’ve got the upper body strength to haul the load, these wheelbarrows are the strongest choice besides steel and are a great value for the money. After all, a poly commercial wheelbarrow typically costs much less than a steel one – so it’s a great choice if you’re hauling lighter materials (or heavier materials shorter distances) and are trying to watch your budget.
Finally, poly won’t rust like steel. So you can store these wheelbarrows outside if you need to.
Rubber versus poly tires
How do you choose between rubber and polyurethane tires for your heavy-duty commercial wheel barrow? Here’s a roundup of some of the pros and cons of each:
A big difference between rubber and polyurethane is the capacity to carry heavy loads. A poly tire can carry twice the load that a rubber one can, and is far less resistant to splitting, tearing or chunking out. It’s also supremely cut- and tear resistant.
So that’s money saved on replacement tires. But on the other hand, poly tires don’t give you the smooth ride rubber does.
Once you make that key choice between materials for your wheelbarrow, you need to focus on the best balance of strength, comfort and value.
Our two favorite heavy duty wheelbarrow brands, by far, are Seymour and Sterling. Here are our offerings and their many advantages, plus our top picks for supplies like replacement wheels and handles.
Seymour
A family-owned, global supplier for the hand tools market, Seymour Midwest is known for its innovative solutions and time-tested products. The quality, reliability and performance of its products – made right in the USA – meet the highest standards of commercial lawn and landscaping contractors, as well as handymen, farmers, ranchers and others.
Seymour 6 Cubic Foot Heavy Duty Wheelbarrow With Steel Tray
This well-built model offers outstanding durability and capability when it comes to the heaviest loads. Its heavy-duty, steel blue tray and 6-square-foot, high-capacity load packs quite the punch, going way beyond simple garden carts.
Easy to load, unload and maneuver, the steel frame’s single wheel model with its flat-free pneumatic tire beats all the other professional yard carts when it comes to performance. It’s also easy on your hands, with rubber grips on the end of its sturdy steel handles for greater comfort and control.
Sterling
Sterling – 6 CF Wheelbarrow with Poly Tray and 4-Ply Rubber Tire
Sterling commercial wheel barrows feature a deep narrow tray (42” X 30” X 17”) and far-forward positioning on the steel frame’s undercarriage. Together, they give this industrial-strength wheelbarrow an edge when it comes to lifting and balance, balancing 80 percent of the load at the wheel and only 20 percent at the handle.
This heavy duty plastic wheelbarrow features a welded, reinforced, one-piece unit that way outperforms the multipiece design of traditional wheelbarrows. The U-channel leg unit is key seated to the routed hardwood handles for secured and seamless joints. So you don’t have to worry about fixing loose connections or losing bolts.
This landscaping wheelbarrow’s lightweight, HDPE poly tray – known for its supreme strength and impact cushioning - offers heft without the hurt. Poly also won’t rust like steel. Finally, its UV-stabilized, black color offers maximum protection against breakdown by the sun.
