Wheelbarrow

A wheelbarrow is a small one or two-wheeled cart designed to be pushed by a single person using two handles to the rear. They are designed to ease the transport of heavy, often loose, loads (see lever) and are common in the construction industry and in gardening.

A two-wheel type is more stable, a one-wheel type has better maneuverability.

Modern designs are usually single wheel, with a pneumatic tyre. Common designs are all metal with a separate frame and tray. The noise generated by all metal designs in loading and moving means that for domestic use polypropylene trays are more common (as are solid tyres) being lighter and quieter but less tough.
