Travel wheelbarrow

[FFAQ]

Hi everyone! I am booked in to go to a 3 day dressage clinic at the end of the month and we have to take our own wheelbarrow and mucking out equipment. For the last 2 clinics I had a folding wheelbarrow, but it died pretty quickly. What do you all use when you go away? Space is limited as I only have a Renault master van conversion and also have to take my own hay! I could buy another folding wheelbarrow but i'm reluctant to go for the same one again as it was a bit pathetic and didn't last long!

I take my normal wheelbarrow, in a 3.5t I would put it in the spare side of the lorry with stuff wedged in it.

A reasonable alternative is a folding 4 wheel trolley and a big skip.

Thanks milliepops. I knew I could rely on H&H for the answer!

I have used a 1 tonne builder's sack for lightweight stuff, to drag. Plus a Trug for heavier stuff, and moved it in bits.

A sack truck with a tall bin held in place with bungees. I used this to transport about 30 kg of Mick from the years back to my garden, around 400 metres.

I take a small ‘real’ wheelbarrow.

In a double trailer I've taken my usual wheelbarrow tied down upside down on the other side of the partition, along with the hay bales.

That should have read "30 kg of muck from the yard".

I looked at this earlier this year, noticed the folding wheelbarrows didn't last and collapse if you try to tip them out. The sack barrow with a large bucket option still takes up a fair bit of space. So I went with the smallest standard wheelbarrow I could find and I use a ratchet strap to attach it to the spare wheel in my trailer. I can't take it if I travel two but usually, it's just my horse so it works out fine and has made my life at stay away shows a lot easier.

Foldable garden trolley and a big trug bucket ! Love my trolley as I use it to move my stuff around between tack room and lorry and use it at camp.
