Powered wheelbarrows

Self-propelled wheelbarrow

— wheelbarrows (see relevant paragraph) equipped with their own motors and able to move independently – with little or no effort on the part of the user, whose role is usually limited to driving and controlling movement.

Most often, such devices have an electric motor powered by a battery; such a drive is inexpensive, as simple as possible to maintain and at the same time quite powerful. However, it should be borne in mind that the motor is not always able to fully cope with the movement of a loaded wheelbarrow – so some “help” from the user may be needed to move. However, even in such cases, only minimal efforts are needed, which are absolutely incomparable with the load when transporting a traditional (non-self-propelled) wheelbarrow.

We also note that the capacity of self-propelled models usually does not exceed 150 kg; but even such indicators are often more than enough for both household and simple professional tasks.

It is also worth bearing in mind that some of these wheelbarrows do not initially come with their own batteries, but they can use standard power tool batteries from the same manufacturer.
