A tracked barrow that carries half a tonne, clears a 715 mm opening and empties its own skip hydraulically. It goes where a wheelbarrow goes and does the work of twelve of them without a plank or a second pair of hands.

Built for the job
Through a standard 813 mm back door and down the side of a terrace. The access is the job; everything else follows from it.
Pull the lever and the skip empties itself. Shovelling a load out of a tipper by hand is where a day actually goes.
Low ground pressure keeps it off a customer's lawn and gets it up a slope a barrow cannot be pushed up.
A builder's barrow holds about 40 kg of wet spoil before it becomes unmanageable. One load here is about twelve barrow runs.
Handlebar controls with the throttle and the tip lever together, so you are steering and tipping without changing position.
The skip lip sits low enough to drop spoil in rather than lift it over your head.

Questions
715 mm at its narrowest, on a frame 800 mm across. A standard UK internal door opening is 838 mm and a back door is usually 813 mm, so yes — but measure the frame rather than the door, and watch for a threshold strip that eats the height.
About twelve. A builder's barrow holds roughly 40 kg of wet spoil before it becomes unmanageable. On a 20 metre path that is the difference between an afternoon and a morning.
It is built for it — the photographs on this page are of exactly that. Take slopes straight up or straight down and never across; a tracked machine tips sideways with very little warning once a loose load shifts.
Rubber tracks spread the load far better than wheels, but low ground pressure reduces marking rather than removing it. On soft or newly laid ground, board out a route.
Engine oil and air filter to the engine maker's schedule, track tension checked regularly, and the hydraulic level checked before each session. Tracks and belts are held in the UK and dispatched within 48 hours.
