The 4X4 traction on this Muck-Truck is more than capable of taking it up a steep ramp and holding it there but before tipping you can flick the handbrake up into the locked position to make certain that the truck stays where it is while you tip.ДЄs well as the bucket you can purchase other attachments for the front of the Muck-Truck and use the auxiliary power to work items such as wet and dry vacuum cleaners or a pump. Either way it beats having to run wheel barrows up a scaffold board. If you want to load skips you can do so by running the barrow up a purpose made Muck-Truck ramp or you could, as I think most builder would, fix up a pair of ramps held together for stability. This is not, however, a skip loader, the bucket pivots on the front but the ram doesnвЂ™t raise it up.

This has a hydraulic ram on the bucket to you can tip and return the bucket to the loaded position with one lever.

The Muck-Truck I am looking at here is the Max Hydraulic petrol powered model with the super reliable Honda GXV 160. It beats having to run wheel barrows up a scaffold board The drawback of that machine was simply that you had to manually tip the bucket and retrieve it which could be a bit of a nuisance if you couldnвЂ™t stand by the side of the machine.

Last time it was a battery powered machine that surprised me by taking full loads up a very steep pile and tipping ready for the grab truck. It is a while now since I tested a Muck-Truck. Roger Bisby tries out the Muck Truck, a pedestrian operated motorised power barrow which is designed to carry three times that of a normal wheelbarrow and will shift loads of up to one quarter of a ton.
