HOW THE TROLLEY WILL BE DEVELOPED


An ergonomic handle will be added, so that it is easy to grip.
An easy way of adjusting the height of the handle. A folding handle.


The shape of the ‘waste bin’, allowing waste to be removed easily.


A suitable tyre tread, for grip in muddy conditions.


Additional tool storage, near the handle.


Below is the first stages of development. A large tool box has been added, in front of the handle and the tool racks have been removed. This makes it easier to control the movement when pushing the trolley around the garden.

 
 
 
 

The tool box has a series of holes that allow tools be stored vertically. It is manufactured from plywood or a recyclable plastic such as polypropylene.

The tool box can be removed by lifting with it by handles on either side.
