Not a wheelbarrow—a yard cart. Four wheels means stability loading heavy material. That dump feature saves your back. Won't rust, won't crack, won't require balancing. Different tool, often better tool.

Never deal with flat tires again. Dual wheels mean stability even for wobbly loaders. Poly tray handles compost without rusting. That loop handle works better for some backs. The modern evolution of the wheelbarrow.

The honest workhorse. Steel tray, wood handles, pneumatic tire—the wheelbarrow your parents had. Assembly required and handles aren't fancy, but it hauls dirt just fine. Real value for real work.

WORX
The Swiss Army knife of wheelbarrows. Converts from wheelbarrow to dolly to rock mover to cylinder carrier. Smaller than traditional wheelbarrows but does things they can't. Perfect for small properties with diverse needs.

Steel + poly
Convertible
Single wheel for maneuverability in tight spaces and on uneven ground (experienced users). Dual wheel for stability loading heavy materials (less experienced or when carrying balanced loads). If you struggle with balance, go dual.
Same as a bike tire: remove wheel, remove tire, patch tube or replace it, reinstall. Or switch to flat-free tires and never deal with flats again. Flat-free rides rougher but eliminates the most common wheelbarrow maintenance issue.
6 cubic feet handles most residential needs. Smaller (4 cu ft) works for light loads and smaller gardeners. Larger (8+ cu ft) is for serious landscaping or when you have help loading. Remember: cubic capacity means nothing if you can't lift it.
Steel for hot materials (fire pit ash), sharp objects (pruning debris), or commercial use. Poly for everything else—lighter, won't rust, easier to clean, handles compost and mulch perfectly. Most homeowners should choose poly.
