Number of wheels
The number of wheels provided in the design of the wheelbarrow / trolley (see "Type"). Actually, trolleys, by definition, have two wheels — this is the optimal number, taking into account the peculiarities of their transportation; but cars can be made both one- and
two-wheeled. The first option is not so convenient, since the user has to make additional efforts to maintain balance during transportation; on the other hand,
one wheel increases the manoeuvrability of a wheelbarrow and allows it to go where a two-wheeled model simply “does not fit” — for example, along a narrow walkway at a construction site. Well, if stability is important to you, and there are no bottlenecks along the path of the wheelbarrow, you should pay attention to two-wheeled models, especially since they are more passable: the weight of the load is distributed on two wheels, and they do not fall into the ground as much as one .
Wheel diameter
The diameter of the wheel(s) of a wheelbarrow or trolley (see "Type"). Permeability primarily depends on this parameter: the larger the wheel, the less sensitive it is to pits and irregularities, and the easier it is to carry the entire structure over rough terrain. At the same time, in carts (including ladders, see "Type"), the diameter of the wheels is relatively small — it rarely exceeds 250 mm. But for wheelbarrows 200 – 250 mm is considered a very limited indicator — most models use wheels with a diameter of 300 to 400 mm.
Weight
Total weight of an empty wheelbarrow/cart in standard working configuration (if equipped with detachable support legs — with legs installed, see above). This parameter allows you to estimate how much excess weight you will have to carry with you in addition to the actual cargo. However it doesn't always make sense to chase light weight — it can mean less strength.
