NuBarro super tool
One of the biggest problems with the basic
wheel barrow is the wheel.
When an inflated tire sits for a few months or longer you can expect it
to loose some of its air pressure.
The solid tire version can only handle so much weight before it gets
too hard to push.
The NuBarro from Germany seems
to be a new level in single wheeled hand trucks.
That big wheel never needs air and is extremely tough. I've never seen
this in real life, but it's easy to imagine how much more traction a
person can expect when you look at the impressive design. The maximum
weight is 750 pounds, and the price is in the 150 dollar range. A bit
more than your average wheel barrow, but it might be worth it if you're
pushing through ground heavy in sand or snow.
