Electric Wheelbarrow
350 kg
5.73 km/h
Specifically designed for the industrial market, the Electric powered Wheelbarrow is a motorised wheelbarrow, power barrow or mini-dumper, capable of moving 350kg for up to five miles. It has an electrically powered drive and electrically powered tip mechanism and may be fitted with either a galvanized steel or industrial-plastic tub.
Being electrically powered, it is powerful, safe, quiet, has no exhaust gases and there are no handlebar vibrations (all of which are significant limitations to the use of petrol/diesel engine powered wheelbarrows).
No driving licence is required for use, the Powered Wheelbarrow can be quickly loaded into a van or onto a plant trailer (using three scaffold planks, a tail-lift or ramp) and at just 810mm in width, it will fit through most external doors, making it ideal for accessing confined internal construction projects.
These attributes make it ideal for the following applications:
-
- Small works in construction and flooring such as wheel-barrowing concrete
-
- Large gardening projects and shifting logs
-
- Crop harvesting in glasshouses & polytunnels
-
- Moving mulch, stone, aggregates, sand, wood chip and plants on landscaping projects
-
- Moving animal feedstuffs and mucking out in stables, farms and small holdings
-
- Removing spoil from tunnelling operations
-
- General industrial material and scrap hauling
The powered wheelbarrow tub is available in both galvanised steel and moulded industrial plastic and these are quickly interchangeable, via two detent pins on the sub-frame.
The on-board, waterproof, battery charger will accept both 110V or 220V input – simply change the ‘flying lead’ to suit the plug type. The battery charger will automatically adjust to either voltage and is specifically programmed to optimise the two maintenance-free, sealed, 90Amp Hour gel batteries in the machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
An electric wheelbarrow (also known as a powered barrow or mini dumper) is a battery-powered machine designed to move materials with minimal physical effort. It combines the simplicity of a traditional wheelbarrow with powered drive and tipping, allowing operators to safely transport heavier loads over longer distances.
The Electric Wheelbarrow can carry loads up to 350 kg on level ground, with reduced capacity on slopes. It is designed to handle materials such as concrete, aggregates, soil, and waste, making it suitable for both construction and landscaping applications.
Yes. The Electric Wheelbarrow is designed to handle slopes and uneven terrain more easily than a manual wheelbarrow. The powered drive reduces operator effort and improves control, particularly when moving heavy loads uphill or across rough ground. Maximum load capacity will vary depending on the gradient.
The Electric Wheelbarrow is suitable for a wide range of materials, including:
- Concrete and screed
- Sand, aggregates, and soil
- Rubble and construction waste
- Logs, mulch, and landscaping materials
- Animal feed and agricultural loads
Different tub options are available to suit specific materials and applications.
Yes. At just over 800 mm wide, the Electric Wheelbarrow can fit through most doorways and access tight working areas. Because it is fully electric, it produces zero emissions and low noise, making it ideal for indoor construction projects, refurbishments, and enclosed environments.
Yes. The Electric Wheelbarrow is designed to be easily transported in a van or on a trailer using ramps or a tail lift. This makes it a practical option for contractors who need to move equipment between multiple job sites.
For many small to medium jobs, yes. An electric wheelbarrow offers a quieter, cleaner, and more compact alternative to petrol or diesel-powered dumpers, particularly for indoor work or sites with restricted access.
