Theres not a problem using an old barrow if your not concerned about H&S, or if your not bothered about the weight in the "lift".
Can you carry 4 bags of cement on an old barrow and the lift is under 20kgs?????
Can you put up to 250kgs on an old barrow and just push it along with no effort????
How long does an old barrow last when used in this way??? not long!!!!!
How many times in a day does an old barrow topple when loading/unloading???
The list goes on

Andy £130 is the retail price.
We have sold 30+ so far.
The first barra has been on various sites and used by all types and has withstood all sorts of abuse. They are a sturdy piece of kit. The base plate is 6mm steel plate and the frame is 4mm thick tube. We could have made them with thinner steel but they wouldnt last a rattle, hence the price. If you want To see one in the flesh just let me know. I will also give you names of contractors who already have them, or maybe i should give them the details of this site and they can post their thoughts.
Never had one quality issue or complaint since launching product 6 months ago
Thanks for your comments and thoughts.

i know mick has been taken seems a bit like selling snow to the eskimos. but if you have any testmonials or pictures of it in action could be handy . has andyr done much work with it?

As far as I know he uses it all the time.
I have heard all the jokes / mick taking all before and its easy for people to criticise, but its like everything else, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Its only when people use it that they see the benefits.
I can send you details of users and testimonials.

the bottom line is that builders are a sceptical bunch,and untill they hear from another builder that summat is good they dont believe it
i dont think the wheel has been reinvented here james and anything that saves backs is good
