Why Burro?

Globally, there's a gap in how we move "heavy stuff" around. Wheelbarrows are too small, built for short distances. Tractors, pickups, and utility vehicles are expensive and designed for big jobs.

But what about medium jobs?

Burro fills that missing middle: strong enough to carry 10x more than a wheelbarrow, yet simple, human-powered, and suited for jobs where powered equipment isn't practical.

Think of Burro like a pickup you can push.

No fuel. No driver. Minimal maintenance. Just simple, tough, cargo transport.

Built Different

In a world where most startups are writing code or rebranding imports, we design and manufacture our own products. No apps or smart tech, just simple, old-fashioned engineering that works - gritty, reliable and made to last.

Because we build it, we back it, with service and spares always on hand.

  • Balanced load

    By placing the wheels at the center, Burro carries the weight for you - not your shoulders. A double wheel design adds side-to-side stability, making heavy loads easier and safer to move.

  • Large Wheels

    Burro's large-diameter wheels roll easily over uneven terrain. Pneumatic tires absorb bumps and reduce effort, while spoked rims keep it lightweight and simple to repair.

  • Long handles

    Extra-long handles give you more leverage for heavy loads and precise control from side to side. The result is easier steering, smoother movement, and less strain on the operator.

  • Efficient

    10x the load, 10x faster.

    Burro carries up to ten times more than a wheelbarrow - which means fewer trips, less wasted energy and more jobs finished in less time.

  • Durable

    Built to last, year after year.

    Burros are designed for the long haul, and proven to give you reliable performance long after cheap trolleys have broken down.

  • Cost effective

    Pays for itself.

    Burro requires no fuel, no operating costs, and minimal maintenance - yet gets as much work done as far more expensive equipment.

  • No Fuel

    No fuel. No service. No fuss.

    Burros run without fuel or engines - which means no servicing, no operating costs, no downtime. Just load it up and work.

  • No Noise

    Quiet strength.

    Burro moves heavy loads in complete silence - perfect for gardens, neighbourhoods and hospitality spaces where vehicles disrupt the peace.

  • All-Terrain

    Goes where others can't.

    Burro moves easily across sand, mud, rocks, and wet ground - and is gentle enough for sensative lawns where vehicles can cause damage.

  • Adaptable

    One tool, many jobs.
    Burro is modular and versatile - with space for custom fittings, add-ons and accessories make it up for any job.

  • Ergonomic

    Easy on people, heavy on work.

    Burro's balanced design reduces strain, saves energy, and protects backs - keeping staff healthier, happier and more productive.

  • Proudly South African

    Built here. Backed here.

    Every Burro is designed and manufactured in South Africa, supporting local jobs and supply chains, meaning service, spares, and support is always available.
