purchased a nash power barrow and when using the back wheels the barrow angles off to the right quite bad, with and without weight

bought 2nd hand so nash are not interested in helping

any ideas what to look at?

I'm sure the frame were the wheel is welded on is at a very slight angle

anyone else had same issue?

Are you sure you have the back wheels configured correctly?

If you're 100% sure you have then a good whack with a hammer to the frame the wheels slide into should sort it.

Take the back wheels off and make sure it's not the front first.

But my money is on the back wheels are set up wrong.

Have you got the wheel on the inside or the outside? Also check the wheel nut is on far enough. If one wheel is looser than the other that might cause an imbalance.

You are not alone. I think ( my opinion only) that it might be to do with where the power goes through to the front wheel🤷‍♂️

Used mine with the backwheels on once - and found it more of a hinderance than help. Unless you're on flat / relatively solid ground they will 'wander' meaning you need to lift it slightly at every undulation to rectify sideways movement. . .easier to ditch the backwheels and be happy that you're not pushing / sweating / constantly adjusting

it's alright without the wheels but I used a buddies carp porter at the weekend at it was a delight with the backwheels on and was really easy to use

I will double check the back wheels to see if I can see anything
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
