A wheelbarrow for spreading a material is provided. The wheelbarrow generally includes a bucket configured to contain at least one material and having an opening through which the material is configured to flow, a controllable closing flap configured to close the second opening, and a distribution plate extending under the opening. The distribution plate is positioned such that material flowing gravitationally through the opening travels along the distribution plate towards an application surface exterior to the bucket of the wheelbarrow. The distribution plate may include guide channels configured to distribute the material across a width of the distribution plate as the material travels along the distribution plate.

An exercise device having a sled or wheelbarrow configuration comprises a frame that is pushed across a support surface by a user. The frame carries a wheel that movably supports the frame in the wheelbarrow configuration and at least one skid that movably supports the frame in the skid configuration. A pair of handles is selectively repositionable on the frame from a vertical orientation used in the sled configuration and a horizontal orientation used in the wheelbarrow configuration to quickly and easily convert the device between its different configurations. The frame has a carriage that supports a plurality of exercise weight members with the carriage being movable in a fore-and-aft direction on the frame for changing the effort required from the user to push the frame.

A mobile container that is designed to allows a user to easily transport the container through a variety of terrains, such as snow, sand, and pavement. The mobile container includes an insulated container, a first sled-molded runner, a second sled-molded runner, a first wheel, a second wheel, and a convex protrusion. The first sled-molded runner and the second sled-molded runner are positioned parallel and opposite to each other, across the insulated container, and are adjacently connected to a base of the insulated container. The first wheel and the second wheel are laterally and coaxially connected to the insulated container, opposite to each other. The convex protrusion modifies the flow of sand or snow about the insulated container in order to decrease drag. The convex protrusion is positioned opposite the first wheel and the second wheel. Additionally, the convex protrusion is integrated into a front surface of the insulated container.

The pivoting-safety wheelbarrow handle is an apparatus that correctly positions and orients the grip of the user while operating a wheelbarrow. The apparatus may be integrated into the handlebar of a wheelbarrow or serve as a universal attachment with a variety of wheelbarrows. The apparatus includes an arched brace, an annular frame, a main handlebar, a first stopper, and a second stopper. The annual brace mounts and positions the annular frame. The annular frame fixes the main handlebar and orients the grip of the user. The main handlebar allows the user to grasp onto the apparatus and maneuver the wheelbarrow. The first stopper and the second stopper limit the rotation of the annular frame. The apparatus preferably includes a wheelbarrow handlebar that is integrates the apparatus to a wheelbarrow. Alternatively, the apparatus includes a handlebar-receiving sleeve that mounts the apparatus onto a handlebar of a variety of wheelbarrows.
