Makita DCU180 electric wheelbarrow with basin - 5 Ah/18V battery (2x18v)

The Makita DCU180 battery powered wheelbarrow with basin is a user friendly and efficient machine intended for gardens and farmlands applications. Comfort and power just in one product: will be very easy to carry logs and grass clippings and to transport soil, bricks and heavy materials. The rear swivel casters are great when access is poor and the brake stopping system allows working in complete safety. The front pneumatic wheel ensures the maximum grip on the soil also thanks to the presence of the motor on it.

The wheelbarrow is self-propelled and has 2 speeds: forward and reverse.

The battery powered electric motor is very quiet and offers maximum efficiency, avoiding the exhaust gas as for standard internal combustion engines.

Powered by a brushless engine.

It mounts 2 powerful Makita 18V 5 Ah lihtium batteries that ensure high performances and quality.

2 side flashlights located underneath the machine.

2 + 1 gears: 2 forward speeds and 1 reverse

Useful and handy support for all operations in the vegetable garden. It is equipped with steel basin with 130 kg loading capacity. The basin is provided with assisted manual tilting.

Makita brushless engine

The 18V Lithium-Ion battery can be recharged any time (just like modern smartphone batteries, no memory effect) so it's always ready for use. On average, it lasts 3 times longer than a regular battery. The battery features a handy charge level indicator.

Advantages of the electric model:

• It offers more reliability than a petrol strimmer thanks to its electric motor. It doesn’t have spark plugs, filters, dip tubes, carburetors etc. That’s to say any part that may cause difficulties
• Much lighter
• Zero maintenance needed, for the above mentioned reasons
• Lower consumption and reduced operational costs compared to petrol models (cutting requires a power supply worth a few cents). Moreover, the operator won’t have to restock on fuel (which should be constantly fresh for petrol engines).
• Zero vibrations, thanks to the electric motor. By contrast, nearly all petrol powered machines that don’t feature a steel springs anti-vibration system, have a very high vibration level which makes them scarcely comfortable for the operator
• Zero smoke emission, zero impact on the environment and, more importantly, on the operator’s health
• Much lower noise levels and, thus, more pleasant to use compared to petrol models

The Makita battery powered wheelbarrow is equipped with manual tipping basin.

Maximum loading capacity: 130 kg

Basin can be tipped over by means of the proper cart release lever. This enables to tip over the loading on the desidered point with a simple movement.

Focus on the assisted manual tipping system.

Controls are easy and user-friendly:

Button for 2 speeds

Forward/reverse speed: max. 3.5 Km/h - Min. 1.5 Km/h / 1.0 Km/h

Battery status LED and lock button

Cart release lever

This wheelbarrow is equipped with self-propulsion to ease the operator's work.

The big rear castors are swivelling (3.00-4) and ensure an excellent grip ensuring a high manoeuvrability in narrow spaces. Moreover, it is equipped with lock for a maximum safety.

The front castor is very big and sturdy (4.80/4.00 - 8) aand is able to reduce any effort to minimum.

LITHIUM BATTERY AND BATTERY CHARGER INCLUDED IN THE PRICE

Fast battery connection: it can be disconnected and removed from the machine with a simple gesture, by pressing the fast connection button.

Voltage: 18V
Amperage: 5 Ah

This handy battery can be charged any time and it's not subject to memory effect (it doesn't tend to die after numerous recharges) so it offers constant power.

Equipped with a handy charger (it can be connected to the home power supply, just like a mobile phone).

The battery is to be connected to the charger the same way you connect it to the equipment.

For a much longer working autonomy the operator can purchase extra batteries.

A single battery and a single battery charger are enough to use the whole range of Makita equipments.

LONGER DURATION: lasts up to 3 times longer than traditional Nickel-Cadmium batteries so it can be used for long periods without recharging. Perfect for medium-large gardens.

FULL CHARGE FOR THE ENTIRE BATTERY DURATION: the Lithium-Ion battery charge doesn't decrease. Nickel-cadmium batteries gradually lose power. Lithium battery cells have a constant power level during the whole cycle. Thus, the battery charge is constant from the beginning until the end and the motor rpm rate doesn't decrease. The battery provides full power before it dies completely.

LONG CHARGE DURATION: Lithium-Ion batteries last 3-4 times longer than traditional Nickel-Cadmium batteries and their power storage lasts longer so they lose less power. Lithium batteries allow up to 2.000 charge cycles!

REDUCED WEIGHT: Lithium batteries have the best power-weight ratio. A lithium battery weighs 1/3 of a nickel-cadmium battery on average.

ECO-FRIENDLY: Lithium battery-powered tools can be recycled and they aren't made with heavy metals.

ZERO MEMORY EFFECT: Lithium batteries can be recharged any time without the negative memory effect. They offer maximum power after hundreds of charge cycles. Charging the battery for a few minutes will supply enough power to get the work done.

LOW POWER LOSS RATE: The power loss rate is up to 5 times lower than that of Nickel-Cadmium batteries so this tool will be ready for use even after very long breaks.

BATTERY CHARGER: Lithium battery chargers allow reducing power consumption by 35% on average.
