Makita DCU180 18v LXT Cordless Brushless Wheelbarrow and Pipe Frame
The Makita DCU180 is a cordless motorised wheelbarrow powered by 18v LXT Lithium-Ion batteries, designed for transporting materials and equipment across construction sites, landscaping projects, and agricultural applications. This brushless motor-driven unit delivers consistent power with reduced maintenance requirements compared to traditional petrol-powered alternatives, making it ideal for both professional contractors and groundwork specialists.
Supplied with a pipe frame set, the DCU180 offers exceptional versatility for carrying long materials such as timber, pipes, and ducting. The width-adjustable rear wheels can be set anywhere between 480mm and 760mm to accommodate different load widths and site access requirements. For static use, the wheels detach completely and can be replaced with standing legs, transforming the unit into a stable work platform or holding station.
Electronic 2-speed selection provides precise control, with forward speeds of 3.5km/h in high gear and 1.5km/h in low gear for delicate manoeuvring, plus a 1.0km/h reverse for repositioning. The 130kg maximum loading capacity handles substantial loads, whilst the 12-degree maximum climbing angle ensures performance on sloped terrain. Safety and convenience features include a brake lever with locking mechanism, overload protection, soft start functionality, and an LED work light for low-light conditions.
The 3-stage adjustable handle accommodates different operator heights, whilst the folding handle design enables compact storage and transportation. A lock key start-up system prevents unauthorised use, and rear wheel stoppers provide additional stability when stationary. Supplied complete with two 5Ah batteries and a twin-port charger for extended runtime and minimal downtime.

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.
