The Makita DCU180 battery-powered wheelbarrow with basin is a user friendly and efficient machine intended for gardens and farmlands applications.

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.

2 side flashlights located underneath the machine.

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.

BATTERIES AND CHARGER NOT INCLUDED

Electric motor and battery

Makita brushless motor

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

Tipping basin

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.
