What specific work does a professional contractor do? What is a contractor wheelbarrow usually used for? What is the general requirement for the capacity and load of a contractor wheelbarrow? Let's find out them.

1. Work content of professional contractors

Professional contractors usually focus on projects or services in specific areas. Common types and work content include:

1. Construction contractors

Construction management, civil engineering (foundation, frame), decoration (water, electricity, wall, floor), etc.

2. Electrical/plumbing contractors

Install and maintain circuits, piping systems, HVAC equipment, etc.

3. Garden contractors

Landscape design, green planting, irrigation system installation, etc.

4. Cleaning/maintenance contractors

Site cleaning, garbage removal, equipment maintenance, etc.

5. Special engineering contractors

Such as roof repair, waterproofing engineering, steel structure installation, etc.

2. Common uses of contractor wheelbarrow

The wheelbarrow is a construction site handling tool, mainly used to transport the following materials:

1. Construction materials

Bricks, mortar, tiles, gypsum board, wood, etc.

2. Tools and equipment

Electric drills, cutters, paint buckets, scaffolding accessories, etc.

3. Waste and garbage

Construction waste, broken bricks from demolition, packaging materials, etc.

4. Earthwork and garden materials

Soil, sand, plants, fertilizers, etc. (commonly used by garden contractors).

3. Capacity and load requirements of contractor wheelbarrow

The specifications of contractor wheelbarrow are selected according to needs, and the common standards are as follows:

1. Capacity

Small wheelbarrow: about 3.5-7.1 cu ft (suitable for interior decoration and narrow spaces).

Standard wheelbarrow: 10.6-17.7 cu ft (general purpose, such as carrying mortar and bricks).

Large wheelbarrow: 21.2-35.3 cu ft (for earthwork, large volume of waste).

2. Load

Light: 100-200 kg (such as tools, lightweight materials).

Medium: 200-400 kg (commonly used in construction sites, carrying bricks and concrete).

Heavy: 500 kg or more (requires reinforced steel frame, used for stone or metal materials).

Special needs:

Some industries use electric contractor wheelbarrow with a load capacity of more than 1 ton.

Explosion-proof tires or silent wheels are common in interior decoration to avoid damage to the ground.

4. Selection suggestions

Construction sites: give priority to high-load (300kg+) and metal-body contractor wheelbarrow.

Garden engineering: wide wheel design (adapt to soft ground), capacity of more than 17.7 cu ft.

Indoor operations: lightweight folding model, load capacity of about 100kg.

Different countries may have localized standards (such as European EN standards and American OSHA regulations). Contractor wheelbarrow needs to be selected based on safety requirements.
