Does anyone know if these are being discontinued? Can't find one in stock anywhere, tried all the usual suspects. Aware it could be down to C19, but just thought I'd see if anyone knew anywhere that had them?

TIA

Thanks for the heads up, unfortunately you can't buy anything from them
At the moment, shops closed, no collection and no delivery.

I got one of these about a month ago and had to go on ebay to get it as couldn't find stock anywhere.

Danson Angling was showing one in stock but the wouldn't let you checkout with it in the cart.

On a side note really impressed with the barrow so far!

I take it back, spoke to Hull today and they had one left and Alan gave me a decent price. Will use Hull again, thanks for the recommendation.

Are people still happy with these barrows? I read some bad reviews about screws not tightening after a while?

Not many alternatives to this barrow, really (with regards to compact barrows with bags underneath?) Nash trax metro mk2 does look nice which even has a bar acros the handles making it sturdier.

The only fault with them is the handles dont have a crossbar so on a really heavy load they feel like elastic a quick fix a ratchet strap across where the bar should be crank it up really tight and the problem is gone
but the Carp porter cross bar handles when available fit perfect and transforms it
I have put the Global Angling motor kit and rear wheels on mine now its like a rolls royce

I really like these barrows,
Unfortunately so did someone else who stole mine from the shed a few weeks ago. Now having to buy another one is a sickening feeling.lol
The one issue that annoyed me is the front two bags being more of a mesh, whatever you have in them will end up being covered in dirt, rain or mud etc.

I tried some in a shop yesterday (Carp Porters) and they felt less balanced I must say. Good tip about the handle swap.

I also saw the Nash Trax Metro and it felt also nice and balanced and had that handle crossbar, but the legs were shorter and aren't too sure about the plastic camlocks on it.

Also hoog mention about the dirt on the mesh bags Andrew. Sounds logical.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
