Altrad construction wheelbarrow RB802-PA 2Ply pneumatic tyre, tubeless, PP rim

A wheelbarrow for construction must above all be sturdy and roll well over uneven ground. The wheel is an important part of this, because it carries the weight of the load and absorbs shocks.

Why a construction wheelbarrow with a pneumatic tyre?

A pneumatic tyre cushions on uneven ground, such as loose sand, gravel or muddy soil. This makes the wheelbarrow easier to steer and reduces the shocks you feel in your arms and back. A solid wheel is puncture-proof, but generally rides stiffer. For anyone who often drives over unpaved ground, a pneumatic tyre is therefore often the more comfortable choice.

What do tubeless and 2Ply mean?

Tubeless means the tyre has no separate inner tube. The air sits directly between tyre and rim. With 2Ply the tyre consists of two layers, which stands for a reinforced construction. How the tyre behaves in practice with a sharp object on the building site depends on use. Therefore check the tyre pressure regularly.

PP rim: what it is about

The rim of this wheelbarrow is made of PP, a plastic. Such a rim does not rust, even if the wheelbarrow is left outside or used with wet material. For the load capacity and dimensions of the wheel, it is best to compare the current product data with your own application.
