Wheelbarrow Retailing will never be quite the same again


Garden and DIY retailers all over the world have dreamt for years about a simpler way of merchandising wheelbarrows. As veterans of serving many such retailers since 1986, Maingate shared their aspirations and in 2010 introduced County COMPACT, a revolutionary concept in wheelbarrow marketing.

COMPACT is aimed at large, non-specialised retailers where the display of fully-assembled wheelbarrows takes up too much space, where sales staff is scarce, and where self-service is the norm. The concept has additionally proved popular with more traditional retailers looking to merchandise this key category better, and to reduce the hidden costs that have always marred the wheelbarrow category.
The County COMPACT design is original and unique. Design Rights are pending and the Registration is expected to be granted.

Wheelbarrow Retailing  will never be quite the same again

Maingate Makes a Case for the Better Barrow


Wheelbarrows are the most iconic of Gardening products - and yet, the barrow category has long suffered from lack of exposure within prime retail selling space: Too often in the past, the wheelbarrow department has been relegated to the out-of-doors where a new product soon looks second-hand and becomes slow and difficult to sell at full price.

This tendency has affected specialist garden centres even more than larger shed operators where typically, it's given better indoor space. That may help to explain why garden centres have been losing market share in the category.

Help is at hand! The new Compact barrows from Maingate will not be displayed outdoors, half-full of rainwater, rotting leaves, and other pollution. Instead, it will live indoors, neatly merchandised alongside other larger boxed items such as barbecues, lawn-mowers, etc. The colourful and informative display will inspire impulse as well as deliberate shopping; customers will expect and pay a higher price than for the dilapidated products on display outside, and will value their purchase more. Above all, when they open the box and assemble their new barrow (a five-minute job), it will meet or exceed their every expectation: This is a high spec, well-engineered product, built to last and to deliver lasting user enjoyment.

County Clipper Compact

County Cruiser Compact


The 100 ltr Cruiser and 90/110 ltr Carrier both share the same substantial, galvanised chassis fashioned from a single length of heavy grade 30mm tubing. The frame is constructed with oversize bracing underneath the floor of the tray and includes a front tray support as well, bracing the wall of the deep tray where it most needs it.
Both frames are fitted with solid steel skids at the base of the legs. These protect the tubing against wear and tear, and will take the knocks of many thousands of hard landings on concrete, gravel etc.

Both the Cruiser and the Carrier are supplied with the superb County X4 wheel, complete with roller bearings to guarantee friction-free rolling for many, many years - and in order to facilitate simple DIY puncture repairs, the 4-ply block pattern tyre is fitted with a pneumatic tube.

The 100/120 ltr Cruiser tray is moulded in tried-and-tested Polypropylene which most gardeners consider the ideal garden barrow material in the eyes of most gardeners, whereas the Carrier is supplied with a 90/110 ltr steel tray with double-rolled edges for strength and safety.

The Cruiser and the Carrier just might be the finest garden barrows you’ve ever seen

Avaliable in: Green and Blue
