inventsion known as a MI-HEELBARROW. The first peice of BARRELL is welded near to the wheel of the WHEELBARROW it aives the existing wheelbarrow extra strength number two a piece of steel barrell welded to the two feet of the wheelbarrow, the advantage of this is when you go up a scaffold board to empty a barrow load of rubbish. The BARRELL acts as a brake to the wheelbarrow because the metal barrell stops the legs from falling down between the plank or scaffold board which most builders seem to use when heading up a skip I discovered this idea because I had a Job involving filling up two skips with earth and turf and old concrete. I was 2=1 ZD finding with the wheel BARROW it was very difficult to push up when loaded it sometimes wanted to come down on me which was dangerous until I done these improvinents which I have described, I would not have thought it would cost no more than L6 pounds additional to the cost C.
