Honda

Honda is a brand that is not usually associated with garden products. And the truth is that it is nothing less, because we are talking about a brand of vehicles and motorcycles.

However, we found the manufacturer’s website where they sell garden products, robots, batteries and other products for the agricultural and industrial sectors.

in this chaos They have tracked wheelbarrows, also called off-road wheelbarrows. And considering the brand it offers, the quality it offers is top-notch.

Among their products are crawler trucks, with a enormous load capacity and a powerful engine. However, it is not as if they have many models (or at least they almost do not appear on their official website).

Tracked wheelbarrow buying guide

Buying a crawler forklift is not usually something ordinary for individuals, but because of its features, it would be more convenient for some users. The problem is that it is an steep product and if you fail with it, you may feel that you have wasted your money. Apart from a bad experience.

It doesn’t have to be this way, because apart from price, there are more factors to consider before making a final decision. Something that is sometimes beyond the buyer’s control. So, to prevent this from happening to you, we will tell you what these major factors are that will facilitate you make a intelligent purchase.

Capacity

In this case, you should pay attention to the maximum weight that the tracked wheelbarrow can carry. Each has a maximum weight that must be greater than the weight you need to lift.

Why above? Because it’s better that it doesn’t reach its maximum capacity. This way, if you ever need something extra, you can always rely on this wheelbarrow (and you won’t damage it as much).

Utilize

Another factor to control when purchasing a crawler wheelbarrow is how it will be used. Purchasing a machine for apply on slopes is not the same as purchasing a machine for agricultural, construction or warehouse apply.

Each of them has certain special features that while many of them can meet, others will not meet your expectations or will not meet your expectations.

Truck dimensions

Another thing to check is the height of the wheelbarrow. Remember that you will have circumscribed storage space and if it is larger, you will have trouble because you will not know where to place it. The same will happen if you have to work with it in narrow spaces, where some will not fit because they are larger.

In addition, weight is also crucial especially if it needs to be transported.

power and engine

Generally speaking, two types of engines are used in a tracked truck: diesel and electric. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, which also affect power. For this reason, you should know which one is best for you, considering how you intend to apply it.

Lifting, additional accessories… Sometimes many manufacturers add modifications to trucks that raise the price, but also that they offer buyers something more.

Price

Finally, you would need to review the price. And we are already saying that it is not low-cost at all. Prices soar to over 200-300 euros (and these are the most basic models available).

What will it depend on? From all the factors before and also others like after-sales service, brand…

This is why, We looked through a few stores to see what we could find there.

Amazon

When searching for a tracked forklift on Amazon, you should be aware that you will see models that are these forklifts and others that are not. The search returns over 250 articles, but in reality many of them will have to be rejected because they are not what you are looking for.

Leroy Merlin

Surprisingly, you can actually find some caterpillar mounds in Leroy Merlin. Not many, because there are only three models, and all of them have enormous capacity (hence their price), but they may be worth considering.

As for the price, it exceeds 2000 euros.

At second hand

You can also buy a tracked wheelbarrow used. It is true that they are not modern, but the price is much cheaper and if it is of good quality, there is no problem not buying it.

Moreover, in this way you give a second life to a product that the original owners will no longer apply, but you will.
