Brief rules for buying
Cars are a fairly simple household tool, but the commercially available models have some differences, and in order to make the right choice, you should be guided by several rules:
Wheel size 350x450
The maximum dimensions of the wheelbarrow should allow it to freely travel with it in narrow places in the summer cottage and in the garden - between the beds, along narrow paths, as well as turn around on small patches of land.It should be borne in mind that the optimal wheel size is 350-450 mm. This will allow you to easily move inventory around the site.
The handles should have comfortable corrugated rubber or plastic attachments, possibly with finger recesses.
For ease of use, the spacing of the handles should be sufficient to fit the human body between them and leave a free space of 100-150 mm wide on each side. Otherwise, when turning, pushing and various maneuvers, the body of the rolling hits the handles.
What matters is the height of the wheelbarrow. The model must have sufficient clearance between the trough and the ground, otherwise the cart will cling to the surface in rough terrain.

Peculiarities
It is advisable to start a conversation about reinforced construction wheelbarrows by comparing them with conventional models. So, for a simple cart, the frame is made of steel with a thickness of 0.12-0.15 cm. When creating a more powerful structure, they take metal not thinner than 0.2 cm. Additionally, a double bracket of increased power is used, and the frame bends are equipped with plates. Steel for the body of a reinforced wheelbarrow is also used more powerful, not 0.07-0.08, but at least 0.09 cm.
The support is put on the frame with handles so that its front part is on the outside of the frame. In this case, the back lobe, close to the handles, should be located from the inside of the same frame. Of course, all this is only approximate and general information, more accurate information can be obtained from the instruction manual. Therefore, before buying, you need to consult with specialists.
Conclusion
When choosing a garden wheelbarrow, it is important to take into account all its characteristics, as well as the purposes for which it is purchased. But if there is constant construction on the site and the volume and dimensions of the transported cargo are large enough, you will have to choose more stable, heavy and less maneuverable models of equipment.
And for solving specific tasks, for example, transporting gas cylinders, use specialized trolleys - for gas cylinders or a trolley for trays
