Wheelbarrows

A wheelbarrow is a small hand-propelled vehicle, usually with just one wheel, designed to be pushed and guided by a single person using two handles at the rear, or by a sail to push the ancient wheelbarrow by wind.

The term "wheelbarrow" is a combination of two words: "wheel" and "barrow." Barrow is a derivation of the Old English "bear," which was a device used for carrying loads.

The wheelbarrow is designed to distribute the weight of its load between the wheel and the operator, enabling the convenient carriage of heavier and bulkier loads compared to when the weight is carried entirely by the operator. As such, it is a second-class lever. Traditional Chinese wheelbarrows, however, had a central wheel supporting the whole load. Wheelbarrows are common in the construction industry and in gardening. Their typical capacity is approximately 100 litres (3.53 cubic feet) of material.

A two-wheel type is more stable on level ground, while the almost universal one-wheel type has better manoeuvrability in small spaces, on planks, in water, or when tilted ground would throw the load off balance. The use of one wheel also permits greater control of the deposition of the load upon emptying.

Maximise productivity with a reliable wheelbarrow

A wheelbarrow is a vital tool for construction, landscaping and gardening, designed to make transporting heavy loads easier and more efficient. It helps save time and effort by smoothly carrying bulk loads, particularly on uneven terrain or tight spaces.

Whether you’re moving soil, cement or debris, a quality wheelbarrow reduces strain and increases productivity, solving the problem of manually hauling cumbersome materials.
