Please note below any of the areas listed that you have experienced
problems with, or are dissatisfied with.
Operation - Control (moving, turning, lifting) We deliberately choose a
two wheel barrow for stability, and less control problems
Stability no problem

Storage larger than normal
Size & shape-related
Volume (too small/large/OK) OK

Maintenance (moving parts, cleaning, corrosion) galvanised and plastic no
