FAQs
What is the weight capacity of the Carrimore Shifter Barrow?
The product information specifies a 120-litre capacity for volume, but a specific maximum weight capacity is not provided. However, its heavy-duty construction suggests it is designed for substantial loads suitable for professional use.
How do I choose between pneumatic and puncture-proof wheels?
Pneumatic wheels offer better shock absorption and are suited for softer, uneven ground. Puncture-proof wheels require less maintenance and are ideal for rough terrain or sites with a high risk of punctures.
What is the warranty period for this barrow?
The Carrimore Shifter Barrow comes with a 5-year warranty.
Is assembly required upon delivery?
Minimal assembly is typically required, mainly involving securing the frame and wheels. All necessary fittings should be included.
Can this barrow be used for transporting wet materials like concrete?
Yes, the durable polypropylene body is suitable for wet materials, but it should be cleaned thoroughly immediately after use to prevent material from hardening and to maintain the barrow's condition.
What are the dimensions of the barrow?
Specific external dimensions are not provided in the product details, but it has a 120-litre internal capacity.
Troubleshooting
Barrow feels unstable
Ensure both wheels are properly inflated (if pneumatic) and securely attached. Check that the load is balanced evenly within the tray.
Wheels are difficult to turn
Clean the roller bearings and wheel hubs to remove any dirt or debris. Check for any obstructions around the wheel axle.
Polypropylene tray shows signs of wear
While durable, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme UV light can degrade plastic. Clean regularly and store out of direct sunlight when not in use.
Handle grips feel loose
Inspect the attachment points of the handle grips. If they are removable, reattach them securely. If they are integrated, check the handles themselves for damage.
