🔴 Another busy day here at the factory! 👊

A few shots from around our factory in the West Midlands, where there's always plenty happening across the different areas of production. 📸

We often show off the finished wheelbarrows, but there's a lot of work going on across the factory to get them to that point.

Always good to share a bit more of what goes on here. 🇬🇧

🔴 A little throwback to the NMBS Exhibition.

It’s always a busy couple of days from start to finish, catching up with merchants, talking wheelbarrows and seeing plenty of familiar faces while we’re there.

Always a good event to be part of. 👊

🔴 We introduced our first robot back in 2012, and automation now plays a part in more than 70% of our manufacturing processes.

Since then, the factory has changed a fair bit. New machinery, new technology and a lot more automation have all become part of how we build our wheelbarrows today.

We’ve invested heavily in the factory over the years, and that’s something we’re proud of. It means we can keep improving how we make our wheelbarrows while continuing to manufacture them here in the West Midlands. 🇬🇧

🎃 Not every Walsall wheelbarrow spends its life on a building site...

Some of them get the slightly more seasonal job of shifting pumpkins. 😂

Great to see plenty of Walsall wheelbarrows being put to work at Tulleys Farm, helping keep things moving during one of their busiest times of the year.

Safe to say, these ones have probably seen their fair share of pumpkins by now. 👊🎃

🔴 Getting your wheelbarrow range right doesn’t mean stocking every model we make.

Our Merchant Range is built around the key options merchants are most likely to need, helping you cover a wide spread of customers without overcomplicating the range.

Different sizes, materials and wheel options, all picked to give you a strong everyday offering on the ground.

A simpler way to make sure you’ve got the right barrow for the job when a customer walks through the door.

🔴 British wheelbarrows built from the ground up. 🇬🇧

For us, that means more than just assembling the finished product.

Different parts of the barrow are formed, pressed, finished and put together here in the West Midlands, with each model built around the job it’s designed to do.

Frame size, tray, supports, bracing... they all vary across the range, but the principle stays the same: build the right barrow for the work it needs to handle.

🔴 Sometimes you’ve just got to get a bit closer. 👀

There are plenty of small details that go into a wheelbarrow that you probably don’t give much thought to until you actually look at one properly.

We spend a lot of time thinking about them though. 😂

🔴 The frame does a lot more work than most people probably realise.

Across the Walsall range, frame specifications change depending on what the barrow is built to do, with 30mm and 32mm single-piece frames used across different models, alongside welded supports designed to add strength where it’s needed most.

It’s one of the less obvious parts of a wheelbarrow, but it makes a big difference once the loads start getting heavier. 👊

🔴 Our wheels don’t just roll straight off the line.

In our wheel production unit, we make the wheel centres and test them in our burst chamber before they’re fitted and sent out with our barrows. 🛞

Just one more part of the process that goes on here every day at Walsall. 💪
