The Big Wheelbarrow Debate!!

[Birdy]

Was taking a trip on a train of thought today and came across the wheelbarrow.

Such a clever invention with its standard shape and one wheel but, can anything else other than this be classed as a wheelbarrow? maybe another wheel? diffrent shape?

I would like a mini wheelbarrow but im not sure they are the most practical for my luggage mooving needs!!

DISSCUSS!!

is it only a classic wheel barrow the only wheelbarrow you can have?

Oh, so you're escalating this debate now? So I searched for 'barrow' on dictionary.com and found
1. wheelbarrow
2. burial mound
3. pig castrated before sexual maturity
4. a ... what!!?!?!!

So then I searched for 'wheelbarrow' and came up with
1. a 1 or 2 wheeled vehicle with handles at the rear used to transport small loads
2. a cart for carrying small loads, has handles and one or more wheels.

Therefore, my four-wheeled wonder-barrow at work could technically be classed as ... a barrow

Out of interest, why are you considering carrying your luggage around in a wheelbarrow? You'll look like a farmer, or a tramp

I present you Wikipedia!

A wheelbarrow is a small one- or two-wheeled cart designed to be pushed by a single person using two handles to the rear. Designed to ease the transport of heavy, often loose, loads (see lever), their use is common in the construction industry and in gardening.

I think that's a yes, classic ones are the only ones.

must there be a degree of leaverage in a wheelbarrow.

For example must u lift it at the handles to move it?

If you are looking for something to carry your luggage you already have one......

Yes, otherwise it's a cart or if it has no weels, a sled.

Hey, tramps are cool, I mean, take Lady and the Tramp for instance

the sooner you come to terms with it, the sooner you can move on with life

There are suitcases that have wheels attached to them. I see them mostly at the airport.
