On most residential jobs, the trailer parks at the curb and the work is out back. Everything in between gets moved by hand or wheelbarrow, and that's where crews lose hours and backs.
Why this job is harder than it should be
Wheelbarrows carry a few blocks at a time and tip on soft lawns. Skid steers and compact track loaders don't fit through backyard gates and leave marks on finished turf.
How the WorkWagon helps
Fits through backyard gates
At 800 mm (31.5 in) wide, it goes through gates wider than about 32 in.
Heavy, dense loads
Safe load rating is 800 kg (1,764 lb). With stone, you'll reach weight before the deck is full.
Lighter on lawns
At 170 kg (375 lb) empty, it's far lighter on turf than a loader.
One operator
One crew member moves material while the others keep installing.
Load planning
Approximate weights; check your product sheets. Dense materials reach the limit quickly.
| Concrete paver, 30 × 30 cm (12 × 12 in) | ≈ 9–11 kg (20–25 lb) each |
|---|---|
| Retaining wall block | 15–36 kg (35–80 lb) each |
| Bagged mulch, 0.06 m³ (2 cu ft) | 9–14 kg (20–30 lb) |
| WorkWagon safe load rating | 800 kg (1,764 lb) — e.g. about 25 large wall blocks |
Tips from our farm
- Spread the load evenly across the deck — don't stack block in one corner.
- Lay a sheet of plywood on the lawn path on wet days.
- Count units by weight, not by what fits on the deck.

Common questions
How many pavers or wall blocks can it carry?
Load by weight: 800 kg (1,764 lb) total. That's about 70–80 typical 12 × 12 in pavers or 20–50 wall blocks depending on size.
Will it fit through a 36 in gate?
Yes. It is 800 mm (31.5 in) wide, so a standard 36 in gate leaves room on each side.
Can I buy more than one for a crew?
Yes. Contact us about multiple units for your business.
