Self-adjusting balanced multipurpose transport carriers and methods of using the same are provided. Aspects include a transport carrier for carrying a balanced load comprising a harness belt for attaching to a user, a mono-wheel, a platform, a stop plate, and a frame comprising first and second side rails and a pair of crisscross shoulder straps.

A motorized wheelbarrow assembly for includes a wheelbarrow that has a pair of handles and a wheel rotatably coupled between the pair of handles. The wheel may roll along a support surface. A drive unit is coupled to the wheelbarrow. The drive unit is in mechanical communication with the wheel. The drive unit selectively rotates the wheel to urge the wheelbarrow along the support surface.

A gyroscopically-responsive power assisted moment arm is disclosed for use in connection with vehicles such as load carrying devices. A moment arm extends to a pivot point such that when a longitudinal force is applied at the moment arm, a sensor senses such force and outputs an energizing signal to a motor to drive a wheel. If a rotational or vertical force is applied to the moment arm, the motor need not be driven. According to the invention, therefore, a power assist can be provided to a user to drive a wheel in a desired direction of transport while not causing drive during tipping or unloading of the load carrying portion of the vehicle. Such an apparatus can be advantageously applied to a power assisted wheelbarrow, as one exemplary application.

A wheel barrow device is disclosed. The wheel barrow device includes a receptacle configured to retain one or more materials. The wheel barrow device includes an elongated support comprising a base secured to a bottom exterior of the receptacle, and a set of fixed handles positioned on a first end of the elongated support. The wheel barrow device includes a rear barrow support positioned on a bottom portion of the support configured to contact a ground surface. The wheel barrow device includes a front tire assembly secured to a second end of the elongated support, wherein the front tire assembly comprises of a first wheel, a second wheel, and a third wheel. The wheel barrow device includes a wheel lock configured to retain one of the first wheel, the second wheel, or the third wheel for single wheel maneuvering.

The present disclosure is directed to devices, systems and methods for a gravity centering cart that permits a user to exercise (e.g., walk, jog or run) while utilizing helpful functionality provided by the gravity centering cart, such as having the cart carry a load with minimal resistance felt by the user pulling or pushing the cart.

A releasable wheel assembly includes a bracket having multiple bosses, each boss including a hole that receives an axle. A pair of wheels are mounted on the axle and a pair of locking caps fit over respective ends of the axle, the locking caps each including a clip for engaging the axle at a circumferential groove to prevent movement of the locking cap along the axle. The wheel assembly can be mounted to a carry bag or other storage unit by mounting the bracket to the storage unit, where the wheels and axle can be easily removed from the bracket.
