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.

The wheelbarrow of the present embodiments provides a frame and a tub wherein the tub has a recess for receiving at least a portion of a wheel. Additionally, at least a portion of the frame and a portion of the tub may extend forward of the wheel. Further, a distance between a center of gravity of the tub and a vertical line or plane bisecting a rotational axis of the wheel when the wheelbarrow is in a resting position may be approximately equal to or less than a radius of the wheel. Also, the wheelbarrow may be powered by an engine or motor. The wheelbarrow may also include a transmission capable of rotating the wheel in a forward or reverse direction. Moreover, the wheelbarrow may contain control levers located adjacent handle grips for controlling the motor or engine, or the transmission.

A two-wheeled, axially-expandable cart having an axially-expandable platform that includes a pair of platform members that are moveable axially between a collapsed position where the edges of the platform members are confronting, and an expanded position when the edges are space apart, and a pair of wheels, each wheel connected through an axle to and extending axially from each platform member. The two-wheeled cart provides a method for hauling an insulated cooler, where the cooler is positioned onto the platform assembly with its center of gravity forward of the platform assembly, and with an extending strap member laced through a front handle of the cooler, for raising the front end of the cooler off the ground and pulling the cooler forward, secured to the two-wheeled cart.

According to at least one exemplary embodiment, a carrier may be overlaid onto a vehicle. The vehicle may be a handle-propelled vehicle, for example a wheelbarrow. The carrier may have contours that fit over the top of the vehicle such that the carrier stays in place relative to the vehicle without additional fastening means when the vehicle is propelled in motion. The carrier design may also allow the carrier to be easily installed and removed from the vehicle. Additionally, the carrier may have a plurality of compartments of varying sizes and shapes. The compartments may be specifically designed to hold a variety of items, for example mobile technology devices, food containers, beverage containers, gardening materials and tools, landscaping materials and tools, or construction materials and tools.

The Rolling Lever Dumbbell Handcart Method is a method of using a handcart to lift a dumbbell, that is organized with a curved front structure that creates a varying effective fulcrum for lifting dumbbells. This method solves the repeated strain problem associated with having to lift a dumbbell up to a necessary height. The operation of the method works by having the operator lean the entire handcart forward so that the front curved portion rolls forward upon the flooring. The Dumbbell is then secured and the same rolling motion is performed in the reverse direction. Once the Handcart is lifted to its upright position it can then be rolled to another location where it can then be leaned forward again to place the Dumbbell in a new location.

Embodiments of a cart for transporting equipment are provided. The cart includes a support, a frame, and legs. The support is configured to hold the equipment. The legs are connected to the support via a first hinge joint. The legs rotate about the first hinge joint between a first leg position and a second leg position. The support is connected to the frame via a second hinge joint. The support rotates about the second hinge joint between a first support position and a second support position. The cart has a first configuration in which the at least one leg is in the first leg position and the support is in the first support position. The cart also has a second configuration in which the at least one leg is in the second leg position and the support is in the second support position.
