That’s kind of funny! Mechanical disc brake and everything. Wonder how much weight it adds.

Hmm, when I get to that point in life I need a cordless wheelbarrow think I'll just stay in the house and let someone else do the yard work.

Son of a masonry contractor here, I would have killed for one of those!

That's a new one on me, but Google "Georgia buggy" and you should turn up a gas powered version. They're used for placing concrete inside buildings and such where it's impossible to get a truck and impractical to pump it.

I'm going to wait for the autonomous version, no sense in telling it where it needs to go when a computer can do it faster.

Ah, but have you tried it on 240V?

All my wheel barrows are cordless. The older I get, the weaker the motor becomes.

looks like a concrete buggy to me. Actually very practical a site that has much slope. Ever try using a wheel barrow up a steep hill? Even one no steeper then a standard staircase is hard to do unless you are very tall. holding the handles above waist level is tiring.

Notice the stairs below are designed to run a wagon.

Funny! Also contagious as I've been afflicted with the same results.

This is the exact thought that I had... I spent many hours hauling concrete with a wheelbarrow, and would have loved a little help. Of course, 3 wheels would make maneuvering difficult on the 2x6 planks that were generally used to keep the wheelbarrow out of the mud.

I have only seen them with gasoline engines, they're very popular with concrete installers..........Rod.

Battery problems?

When I was a kid my brothers and I made a go-cart with an old washing machine motor. One could drive all the rest had to wrangle the cord.

I think I'll stick with my "manual" version of a wheelbarrow.
I might need to replace mine. It doesn't seem to want to carry as much any longer. ;)

Battery problems?Bi lateral knee replacement in 2013. Not supposed to pick up more than 50#, nor stand (as in line) for more than 15 minutes.

There's been a few times wheeling concrete around that one of those would've been welcome!

So if its 240 it's a cabinet wheelbarrow, but if its 120 it's a hybrid wheelbarrow?
