Loadrunner Electric Wheelbarrow, Complete (Erie Pro)
In stock
Online orders are picked up in Vancouver, during business hours at our shop at 1290 Odlum Dr.
This is our Loadrunner electric drive pre-installed on an Erie Pro contractor grade wheelbarrow, for those who want a ready-to-use electric wheelbarrow instead of converting one they already own.
- 6 cubic ft steel bucket
- Rugged all-metal handles
- Hauls 400 lb loads up steep hills
- Runs off existing power tool batteries (Makita, Milwaukee M18, Dewalt 20V*)
The dual battery holder lets you conveniently power this device with your existing 18V powertool packs. Our advanced onboard BMS displays the charge levels of each battery and safely protects them from overcharge or overdischarge, even when mixing batteries with different capacities and charge levels.
There are two robust thumb throttles and throttle mounts that allow you to control acceleration with one hand, and regenerative braking with the other. Cable raceways ensure a neat installation with nothing to tangle or snag as you manoeuvre around.
* (Dewalt's 20V packs are in fact 18V nominal)

How the Loadrunner works
The Loadrunner replaces your wheelbarrow's wheel with a motorized hub and bolts on between the handles and the stands. Two 18V tool batteries power it. You steer and balance; the motor does the pushing.
- Load: pushes 400 lb loads up steep ramps, with up to 160 Nm of torque.
- Speed: 6 km/h (3.7 mph) forward and 2 km/h (1.3 mph) in reverse, as shipped.
- Range: carrying 200 lb on standard 4Ah batteries, about 20 to 25 km on the flat or 3 to 4 km up a 10% grade.
- Brakes: the left thumb throttle slows you electrically on the way down and sends the energy back to the batteries.
- Batteries: two Dewalt 20V Max, Makita 18V or Milwaukee M18 packs; 3Ah or larger recommended. Swap in charged packs and keep working.
- Weather: sealed motor, potted electronics and waterproof connectors. With no battery pack active, it works as normal.
