JCB HTD5 Track Barrow Dumper Hire
Go-anywhere tracked barrow for the tightest sites.
JCB's HTD5 tracked barrow dumper — 500 kg payload, rubber tracks, fits through a standard doorway. The machine that replaces ten wheelbarrow runs per hour on rough or sloped ground.
The JCB HTD5 is a proper tracked barrow built for the jobs wheelbarrows dread — steep gardens, wet ground, mud, gravel, and long runs where manual handling would eat the day. At just 740 mm wide it fits through almost every domestic doorway and garden gate.
Rubber tracks give traction on wet grass, mud, and sand where wheeled wheelbarrows sink or tip. The hydraulic tip discharges neatly without the strain of a manual lift, and the Honda petrol engine starts reliably from cold — no diesel warm-up required.
Popular with landscapers doing rear-garden jobs, builders shifting muck on sloped plots, and anyone tired of pushing wheelbarrows up a site road twenty times a shift.

Rubber tracks are very lawn-friendly — no marks on grass or paving. Much kinder to finished surfaces than any wheeled alternative.
