It can also be configured so that the wheel sits under load area. It's a pretty clever design the way it folds. I didn't take a picture of it folded.

You can see where the red bar pivots, the blue ends will rotate, then the wheel is under the weight.

How mad is that, ditto, but I didn't think it was that heavy, mine had the wheel that folded backwards. I wish I hadn't of sold it tbh, it was a great day/river session barrow. That Solar barrow isn't too dissimilar, love the single wheel leg, reminds me of motorbikes.

@ Andy Cheeky git lol
No, it was more a case of you having a fishery it didn't seem like a very original idea of mine to suggest a fish...I hope that makes sense

I'm thinking a nice VS Harrow and one of the Leneys that are available.
Nice

I had a Chub transporter. That was my first ever barrow, when they very first came out. Have to agree, they were not that heavy. Every barrow I've had since weighed more.

I had that barrow for absolutely donkeys years. I only got rid of it in 2013 when I fished Roach. Same tyre which got filled with tyre weld, and never got a puncture.

around mid 90's. First one I saw on the bank purpose made was by 'Scaffold John', who used to fish Manor Farm AKA 'Dollop City' and Aveley amongst others. A Clever & Nice Guy
