Nursery work is constant shuffling: potting up, spacing out, pulling orders, loading customers. Container stock is heavy and awkward, and the aisles are narrow.
Why this job is harder than it should be
Hand carts tip with tall trees. Forklifts and tractors are too big for display aisles and can be loud around customers.
How the WorkWagon helps
Stable flat deck
The 1,500 × 800 mm (59.1 × 31.5 in) deck holds groups of containers upright.
Quiet around customers
Electric drive means no engine noise or exhaust in the yard.
Narrow aisles
At 800 mm (31.5 in) wide, it moves down aisles a tractor can't.
Heavy root balls
Rated for 800 kg (1,764 lb), enough for several balled-and-burlapped trees.
Load planning
Approximate; wet soil adds a lot of weight.
| #3 (≈ 11 L) container, watered | 9–14 kg (20–30 lb) |
|---|---|
| #15 (≈ 57 L) container, watered | 45–70 kg (100–150 lb) |
| B&B tree, 50 cm (20 in) root ball | ≈ 90–140 kg (200–300 lb) |
| WorkWagon safe load rating | 800 kg (1,764 lb) |
Tips from our farm
- Strap tall trees and lay them at an angle if they catch the wind.
- Group same-size containers so they brace each other.
- Keep the wagon on firm aisles; soft beds can rut under heavy loads.

Common questions
How many potted plants fit?
It depends on pot size. Roughly 20–30 #3 containers fit on the 1,500 × 800 mm (59.1 × 31.5 in) deck, well within the weight rating.
Can it carry B&B trees?
Yes, within 800 kg (1,764 lb). Strap them and keep the load centered.
Is it good for customer carry-outs?
Yes. It's quiet and narrow, so staff can bring orders to the parking lot.
