Electric Wheelbarrow YATO YT-86097, 500 W brushless, 24 V, 150 kg max load, 8 h runtime, 410 mm wheel, IPX4

The Yato Electric Wheelbarrow YT-86097 is a battery-powered utility wheelbarrow designed for landscaping, gardening, construction and general material handling. It is driven by a 500 W brushless motor on a 24 V system and supports loads up to 150 kg, with a working time of up to 8 hours per charge depending on load and terrain. A large 410 mm wheel and IPX4 splash resistance make it suitable for outdoor use in varied conditions.

Advantages

The brushless 500 W motor provides efficient drive performance with lower maintenance needs and reduced energy loss. Two lead-acid batteries (2 × 12 Ah) deliver extended runtime and a charging cycle of approximately 4.5 hours restores the device for the next work period. The unit’s load capacity of up to 150 kg, single forward and reverse gears controlled by a throttle lever, and a 410 mm wheel improve maneuverability, stability and the ability to cross uneven ground.

Suitable for

• Transporting soil, sand, gravel and mulch in gardens and landscaping projects
• Moving construction materials such as wood and aggregates on sites
• Material handling on small farms and agricultural plots
• Cleanup and renovation tasks where repeated loads must be moved

When it may not be suitable

This electric wheelbarrow is not suitable for tasks that require transporting loads exceeding 150 kg or for users needing higher top speeds than 7 km/h. It also requires charging from a 230 V AC supply and uses lead-acid batteries, so it is not compatible with systems that require different battery chemistries or external power sources.

Key specifications

• Motor power: 500 W (brushless)
• Voltage: 24 V DC
• Battery type and capacity: lead-acid, 2 × 12 Ah (approx. 288 Wh)
• Working time per charge: up to 8 hours (depending on load and terrain)
• Charging time: approximately 4–5 hours (charger 230 V / 50 Hz AC)
• Maximum load capacity: 150 kg
• Maximum speed: 7 km/h; reverse speed up to 1.5 km/h
• Wheel diameter: 410 mm (16")
• Protection rating: IPX4 (splash resistant)
• Operating weight: 32 kg
• Working temperature range: 5–40 °C
• Operating relative humidity: up to 70% (without condensation)

How to use

Before first use, fully charge the batteries using the supplied 230 V charger. Place the wheelbarrow on level ground before loading and do not exceed the 150 kg maximum load. Use the throttle lever to engage forward or reverse travel and control speed; monitor battery level during operation to avoid unexpected stops. After use, park the wheelbarrow on a stable surface and recharge the batteries so the unit is ready for the next work cycle.

What to consider before purchase

• Required maximum load per job should not exceed 150 kg
• Availability of a 230 V AC supply for charging and charging time of approximately 4–5 hours
• Lead-acid battery type and maintenance requirements compared with other battery chemistries
• Operating environment within the specified temperature and humidity range
• Need for splash-resistant equipment (IPX4) rather than full waterproofing

Usage recommendations

For reliable daily operation, charge the batteries after each work session, avoid overloading beyond 150 kg, and perform routine checks on tire condition and electrical connections. Use the throttle lever for controlled starts in confined or uneven areas to maintain stability and prevent sudden load shifts.
