A wheelbarrow having an adjustable handle. The wheelbarrow has a bucket portion having a pair of sides and an axle accepting portion therein. An axle member is provided for insertion through the axle engagement member. The axle member has a pair of outer peripheral ends spaced on either side of the pair of sides. A pair of handles are pivotally attached to each of the pair of outer peripheral ends for allowing the handle to pivot away from the bucket portion of the wheelbarrow. Each side of the wheelbarrow has surfaces defining a plurality of handle engaging areas such that the handle may selectively be engaged in an area at a first position and selectively disengaged to move the handle to a second position. Each handle has a handle end portion which includes grip portions corresponding to the number of positions for the handles wherein each grip portion is configured at an angle for being substantially parallel to the ground when in a corresponding position in a selected corresponding slot in the wheelbarrow.

A utility cart including a rectangular base is provided. The utility cart includes at least one handle extending outward and upwards from a short side of the rectangular base and a leg extending down from the short side of the rectangular base on the short side of the handles. The utility cart also includes a first wheel assembly joined to the rectangular base on end opposite to the handles, wherein two wheels and the leg are positioned such that the rectangular base is horizontal with a floor, two holes centered along each long side of the rectangular base, and a first adjustable guard that fits into the two holes.

A cart generally includes a body, a wheel assembly, first and second handles, and a scoop. The body defines an interior usable for holding materials. The body includes a forward portion and a rearward portion. The wheel assembly includes at least one axle and first and second wheels. Each of the first and second handles includes a handle portion to allow a user to move the cart and a leg portion for contacting a support surface. The scoop is rotatable relative to the body between a plurality of positions including at least a forward position and a rearward position. In the forward position, the scoop is adjacent the forward portion of the body, whereby the scoop increases carrying capacity of the cart. In the rearward position, the scoop is disposed at least partially over and/or adjacent the rearward portion of the body.

A wheel adapter to convert a storage container to a wheeled storage container is provided. The wheel adapter comprises a mounting bracket attachable to the storage container. The mounting bracket comprises a first leg configured to engage a bottom surface of the storage container, and a second leg configured to engage a side surface of the storage container. The second leg comprises a wheel coupling. The wheel adapter also includes a wheel rotatably connected to the wheel coupling. The wheel is constructed and arranged for rotation about an axis to provide rolling support of the storage container on the ground.

A portable payload carrier (e.g., military transit case) comprises a housing for supporting at least one payload therein, and a ground transport assembly coupled to the housing comprising a first transport unit (e.g., cover) in support of a wheel assembly. The wheel assembly can comprise a wheel and at least one wheel support structure configured to support the wheel about the first transport unit. The wheel assembly can be operable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration for transporting the portable payload carrier about a ground surface via the wheel by a user. A handle transport assembly can be coupled to an opposing side of the housing, and can include a deployable handle assembly for lifting and moving the portable payload carrier. The wheel and handle assemblies can be collapsible to maintain a form factor of the portable payload carrier when in the stowed configuration.

A hand propelled three wheeled cart for transporting miscellaneous cargo. The basic cart has a single front wheel with two solid rear supports, such as a standard wheelbarrow. The two rear wheels are attached to a lever that is pivotally connected to the lever mounting support brackets. Lifting the handles pries the two rear wheels, into position, elevating the rear cart support legs off the ground. This cam action reduces the operators lifting effort and improves the lateral stability of the cart. Releasing the handles automatically anchors the cart.

Adapter apparatus for transporting a ladder with a hand truck of the type having wheels and a laterally extending toe plate for supporting an item thereon is provided. The apparatus includes a ladder support configured for receiving a portion of a ladder thereof and at least one hand truck attachment. A first end of the at least one hand truck attachment is coupled to the ladder support. A second opposing end of the at least one hand truck attachment is configured for securely engaging a toe plate of a hand truck. At least a portion of a weight of the ladder is transferred onto the toe plate of the hand truck when the ladder is transported on the hand truck with the ladder support contacting the ladder thereof.
