From our factory in Viborg, the frames and tubs on our products are either powder-coated or galvanised.

A high-quality powder coating protects the product against rust and corrosion, reducing the need for maintenance. The steel should be regularly wiped with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust, which can wear down the coating. Avoid scratches and impacts on the surface, as these can damage the coating and lead to rust. If scratches occur, apply a rust-preventive primer and touch up with a suitable metal paint to seal the surface.

Galvanisation also protects the steel from corrosion and can extend its lifespan significantly. Cleaning should be done with a soft cloth and lukewarm soapy water. Avoid acidic cleaners, as they can damage the galvanised surface. If surface rust begins to form, gently use a nylon brush and apply a zinc spray afterwards.

In general, avoid storing your product in damp or salty environments for extended periods. Lubricate moving parts (such as wheel brackets) with oil or grease as needed.

Maintenance of Plastic (e.g. on tubs)

Several of the tubs on our wheelbarrows are made of plastic. The red plastic tub has the advantage of being frost-resistant – an important feature that helps prevent cracking or damage in cold weather conditions. In addition, the plastic material is lightweight, making the wheelbarrow easier to handle. Plastic tubs are also easy to clean, as soil and dirt do not easily adhere to the surface.

To maintain the plastic components on our products, we recommend regular cleaning with water and a mild soap solution. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on the plastic.
Always protect the plastic from prolonged exposure to sunlight, as this can cause drying and cracking. Heavy impacts should be avoided, especially in cold temperatures when the material is more brittle.

Some of our products contain aluminium – a material that combines low weight with high strength. Aluminium requires minimal maintenance, but to preserve both appearance and functionality, we recommend cleaning the surfaces with water and a mild soap solution. Use a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the surface. Abrasive cleaners and steel wool should be avoided.

Although aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer, damp or salty environments can still cause discolouration over time. Therefore, it’s a good idea to rinse and dry the surface after use in such conditions. To ensure a long service life, regularly check joints and welds for signs of wear or cracks. Lubricating moving parts with a suitable oil is also recommended, as even light corrosion can affect performance and durability over time.

PVC Handles
PVC handles are durable and require minimal maintenance. To keep them clean and in good condition, we recommend wiping them regularly with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. It’s important to check the grips for cracks or looseness and replace them if necessary to ensure both comfort and safety during use. Avoid using solvents or alcohol-based cleaners, as these can make the PVC surface porous and reduce its durability.

Wooden Handles
Wooden handles offer a classic, natural grip and, with proper care, are long-lasting. Wipe them with a slightly damp cloth and avoid excessive exposure to water, which can cause the wood to expand or crack. Regularly check for splinters or small cracks. If needed, lightly sand the handles and treat them with wood oil or lacquer. This protects the wood from moisture and significantly extends its lifespan.
