SCH BCT Balance Cart Trailer

One Cart for Towing and Manual Handling: SCH BCT Balance Cart Trailer

Some loads need the convenience of tractor towing, while others require more precise manual control. The SCH BCT Balance Cart Trailer accommodates both. With a 10 cwt (500 kg) carrying capacity, it can be towed behind a suitable garden tractor or pushed by hand when greater manoeuvrability is needed.

This SCH trailer’s clever two-wheel layout also sets it apart from a conventional cart or wheelbarrow. The load is balanced on both sides of the wheels, reducing the effort required from the operator.

Switch Between Tractor Towing and Manual Use

A capable choice for gardens, farms and estates, the SCH BCT can adapt according to where the load needs to go. For transport behind a suitable garden tractor, the cart is equipped with a tow bar and clevis hitch as standard.

When manual handling is more practical, the tow bar can be exchanged for a stable foot support. This converts the BCT trailer into a cart that can be pushed around the working area.

Having both options is particularly useful on larger properties. A tractor can handle longer journeys, while manual operation provides greater control when working in tighter spaces.

Let the Wheels Carry More of the Burden

A conventional wheelbarrow places part of the load on the person using it. The SCH BCT takes a different approach. Its body extends across both sides of the two wheels, helping distribute the weight more evenly.

This balanced arrangement means the wheels support the load more effectively. As a result, moving heavy materials manually requires less effort than with a traditional wheelbarrow.

The BCT trailer’s design also improves stability when transporting substantial loads. This makes it a useful option for regular material handling around a wide range of settings.

Smart Design for Restricted Access

Capacity is important, but a large trailer can become inconvenient when access is limited. SCH addresses this by mounting the BCT’s wheels inboard, beneath the body.

The body measures 60 inches (1,500 mm) long and 30 inches (760 mm) wide. Keeping the wheels within this profile helps the cart negotiate narrow spaces where trailers with externally mounted wheels may struggle.

The BCT runs on 400 x 8 wheels and has an unladen weight of 209 lbs (95 kg). Its sturdy construction supports regular use across demanding transport tasks.

Carry Up to 10 cwt (500 kg)

The SCH BCT trailer cart provides substantial carrying capability. Its maximum load capacity is 10 cwt (500 kg), making it suitable for moving bulky or heavy materials.

This SCH trailer offers useful space for jobs around farms, gardens and estates. Whether the cart is being pushed or tractor-towed, its impressive capacity allows larger quantities to be moved in fewer journeys.

Open Up the Sides for Easier Access

SCH has also considered how materials get into and out of the cart. The wooden sides are hinged, allowing them to drop down when greater access to the load bed is required. This can make loading and unloading bulky items much easier than lifting them over fixed sides.

If an open platform is more appropriate, the wooden sides can be removed altogether. They can then be refitted when an enclosed body is preferred.

This adaptable arrangement allows the same cart to accommodate different types and shapes of load.
