Makita DCU180 18v LXT Cordless Brushless Wheelbarrow and Bucket Frame
The Makita DCU180 is a motorised cordless wheelbarrow combining the convenience of 18v LXT battery power with a robust brushless motor design. This innovative power barrow is supplied with a bucket frame attachment, making it ideal for landscapers, groundworkers, and contractors who need to transport heavy materials across job sites without the physical strain of a manual wheelbarrow.
Built for versatility, the DCU180 features width-adjustable rear wheels that can be set between 480mm and 760mm to suit different working environments and access requirements. The wheels can also be completely detached and replaced with standing legs, allowing the unit to function as a stable work platform. With a maximum loading capacity of 130kg and the ability to tackle gradients up to 12 degrees, this powered wheelbarrow handles demanding tasks with ease.
The brushless motor technology delivers efficient, maintenance-free operation whilst electronic two-speed selection provides precise control over transport speed. A reverse gear function adds manoeuvrability in confined spaces, whilst the brake lever with locking mechanism and rear wheel stoppers ensure safety when loading or unloading. The folding handle design enables compact storage between jobs, and a three-stage adjustable handle accommodates operators of different heights for comfortable use throughout the working day.

Battery AH Explained
The best way to describe battery amp hour is that this is effectively the size of your fuel tank, the more amp hours your battery has then the longer the battery will last between charges. More amp hours does not increase the power of a given tool.
Battery Voltage Explained
A tool with a higher voltage than another is a bit like choosing an engine in a car, the higher voltage will generally mean higher power & performance. As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers.
