What is a "wheelbarrow"?
A wheelbarrow is a small, handheld cart with a single wheel at the front and two handles at the back, used for carrying materials. It has a shallow container to hold items like soil, rocks, or tools. The wheel at the front helps to balance the load and makes it easier to move heavy or bulky items by pushing or pulling the handles. Wheelbarrows are commonly used in gardening, construction, and farming to transport materials over short distances, providing a simple and effective way to reduce the effort required to carry heavy loads.
