A wheelbarrow is a small hand-propelled vehicle, typically with only one wheel, that is designed to be pushed and guided by a single person using two back handles, or by using a sail to move the ancient wheelbarrow through the air. The term “wheelbarrow” is made of two words: “wheel” and “barrow.” “Barrow” is a derivation of the Old English “barew” which was a device used for carrying loads.

In modern usage, it refers to any kind of wheeled cart. It can also refer to a type of wagon that has no wheels but instead uses an endless track. A wheelbarrow is not a barrow in the sense of a garden tool. Wheelbarrows are typically found in rural areas where there may be no other means of transport available. They were originally developed as a way to move heavy loads over uneven terrain such as hillsides.


History of Wheelbarrow

The earliest known wheelbarrow dates from about 5000 BC. It consisted of a wooden frame covered with animal hide. The first true wheelbarrow appeared during the Middle Ages, when they were made of wood with iron tires attached to them. These early wheelbarrows had only one wheel.

Later models included two wheels, three wheels, four wheels, and even six wheels. Some wheelbarrows have been manufactured since then, although most people do not use them because they are too expensive and complicated to maintain. Modern wheelbarrows are often constructed of metal, plastic, fiberglass, or composite materials.

In a small yard, a wheelbarrow might only be occasionally useful, but on larger properties, one-wheeled helpmates of this kind are virtually essential.”

Benefits of Wheelbarrow

Wheelbarrows are very useful tools. They are easy to operate and require minimal effort to push. They are inexpensive and durable. They can carry many different types of cargo. There are several benefits to owning a wheelbarrow.


Easy to Push

You don’t need much strength to push a wheelbarrow. You simply pull it along with your legs while pushing down with your feet. This makes it easier than pulling a load of dirt or sand with a shovel.


Durable

Because wheelbarrows are so simple to make, they tend to last forever. If you keep up with maintenance, you should be able to get at least ten years out of a wheelbarrow before needing to replace it.


Lightweight

Most wheelbarrows weigh less than 100 pounds. That’s half the weight of a typical lawn tractor!


Cheap

Wheelbarrows cost around $25-$100. For this price, you can buy a lot of groceries.


Versatile

Wheelbarrows can be used for many things besides moving dirt. You can use them to haul firewood, logs, bricks, rocks, gravel, mulch, and more.
