Super-Tough Mason's Wheelbarrow

Wheelbarrows are an almost indispensable tool but, unfortunately, they wear out quickly under heavy use, such as mixing mortar or the necessity of handling with a lift. Our barrow is designed for tough, hard usage. Its all-welded construction has no rivets to hang a hoe or shovel. The tub is made from heavy 10-gauge steel. The handles and braces are 1% x 11-gauge steel tubing. This durable barrow is designed for many hours of hard, trouble-free usage.
