Wheelbarrow

A wheelbarrow is a hand-propelled, single-wheeled (or sometimes two-wheeled) vehicle designed for carrying loads. It typically consists of a tray, handles, and a wheel at the front. It is used to transport soil, mulch, plants, rocks, and other materials in landscaping, gardening, and construction.

Types of Wheelbarrows:

  1. Single-Wheel Wheelbarrow – Easier to maneuver but requires balance.
  2. Two-Wheel Wheelbarrow – More stable, good for heavier loads.
  3. Plastic Tray Wheelbarrow – Lightweight, best for gardening tasks.
  4. Steel Tray Wheelbarrow – More durable, suitable for heavy-duty work.
