A power barrow machine is a great way to transport substantial loads on flat or sloped terrain quickly and effortlessly. The essential features in a motorized barrow are maximum load, tank capacity, power source, and climbing ability.
Power barrows are categorized into gas-powered and electric ones.

Power Wheel Barrows Compared

  • Gas-powered motorized barrows are heavy-duty machines suitable for agricultural and construction applications. This particular model can handle loads of up to 850 lbs and can move on any type of terrain. The machine features four forward and one reverse gear operation.
  • Electric power barrows are more suitable for homeowners. They are more lightweight, convenient to use, produce less noise, and require virtually no maintenance. This machine is four times lighter than the gas-powered Transporter but has a smaller load capacity — up to 330 lbs (150 kg).

As they are battery-powered thus, they have a limited runtime and are suitable for smaller projects. When choosing an electric motorized wheelbarrow, pay attention to its power rating, the number of speeds, the tipping system, and the type of start-up — manual or electric. The Greenworks Akku wheelbarrow operates on 40V batteries, has variable speed control (a forward speed of 4.2 km/h and a reverse speed of 2.4 km/h), and has a spring-loaded tipping action.

Best power barrow: wheeled or tracked?

Wheeled barrows are suitable for carrying materials over an even surface or slightly sloping ground. Models with three or four wheels provide more stability and can easily pull up a hill.

Tracked barrows, such as gas-powered transporters, can handle different surfaces and even climb a steep slope. All in all, tracked barrows are more robust and typically have a greater load capacity of up to 850 lbs.
