What are the dimensions of a construction site wheelbarrow?

Common construction site wheelbarrow dimensions are approximately 80*35*48 (unit: centimeters), with a volume of about 0.15 cubic meters. Introduction to commonly used wheelbarrows: Construction hand-pushed wheelbarrows are generally welded from Q235 carbon steel, commonly used for transporting sand and stones at construction sites. Common two-wheeled carts include hand-pushed transport carts for moving packaged goods (also known as 'tiger carts'), frame carts, and bucket carts for moving bulk materials. Among three-wheeled hand carts, there is one, and among four-wheeled hand carts, there are two swivel feet that can rotate around a vertical axis. These swivel casters can automatically adjust to the direction with the least running resistance as the vehicle's movement direction changes. The load capacity of wheelbarrows is: The load capacity of hand-pushed carts used on construction sites is related to the specifications of the configured pneumatic tires. Based on actual site operations/work environment, labor intensity, and safety considerations, the rated load capacity of hand-pushed carts generally used on construction sites is about 500kg per cart.
After working on construction sites for many years, I've seen all kinds of wheelbarrow sizes. A standard hand-pushed wheelbarrow is typically about 48 to 60 inches long, roughly 4 to 5 feet, with a width between 20 to 25 inches and a depth of around 18 to 24 inches, capable of holding 2 to 3 cubic feet of material. In terms of materials, steel wheelbarrows are more durable but heavier, while plastic ones are lighter but have less load capacity; wheel size is also crucial, with large wide tires being stable on loose soil roads, and small tires being more maneuverable on flat ground. I've also noticed that needs vary greatly across different job sites: large wheelbarrows are efficient for moving sand and gravel, but smaller ones are needed for heavy materials like cement blocks to prevent tipping. Size selection shouldn't be arbitrary—too large and it's hard to push, draining energy; too small and you waste time making multiple trips. Always measure the space before choosing to avoid accidents like getting stuck in doorways. A common mistake beginners make is overlooking material density—fine sand and gravel size affect the actual fill rate of the capacity.
