The often held view that a wheelbarrow shows up in a stained-glass window at Chartres soon after 1200 is according to Lewis "a myth. There is none. The nearest approach is a handbarrow." (M.J.T. Lewis, p.463) The wheelbarrow was very important in ancient China because it made it easier to move a large load from one place to another. An example is Liang’s wooden ox which was used to transport military supplies in the Han state’s campaign against the state of Cao Wei in the 3rd century AD. With the wheelbarrow, Han state servants could transport enough food to feed the entire army. One wheelbarrow carried enough food to feed four soldiers for about three months. Larger wheelbarrows were also used to move people from one point to another. An example is a centrally wheeled barrow which could carry six people at a go. Conclusion

Schmid, p.193, ISBN 978-3-96049-079-1 , retrieved 2020-11-26 The first wheelbarrows in medieval Europe appeared sometime between 1170 and 1250. In contrast to the ones which typically have a wheel in the center of the barrow and were preferred in China, the types mostly used in Europe featured a wheel at or near the front, [28] the arrangement of most wheelbarrows today. [ citation needed] A wheelbarrow is a small hand-propelled vehicle, usually with just one wheel, designed to be pushed and guided by a single person using two handles at the rear, or by a sail to push the ancient wheelbarrow by wind. The term "wheelbarrow" is made of two words: "wheel" and "barrow." "Barrow" is a derivation of the Old English "barew" which was a device used for carrying loads. In the 1970s, British inventor James Dyson introduced the Ballbarrow, an injection molded plastic wheelbarrow with a spherical ball on the front end instead of a wheel. Compared to a conventional design, the larger surface area of the ball made the wheelbarrow easier to use in soft soil, and more laterally stable with heavy loads on uneven ground.

Plastic wheelbarrows can be beneficial as they are light in weight reducing physical demand on the user. But plastic wheelbarrows are also suited to lighter loads. [39]

The oldest wheelbarrows preserved from Central Europe were found in 2014 and 2017 during archaeological excavations in Ingolstadt, Germany. The felling dates of the trees that make up the wheelbarrow boards could be dendrochronologically dated to 1537 for one wheelbarrow and the 1530s for the other.

Key specs – Capacity: 600kg max, 500kg in-motion; Wheels: Four; Material: Steel mesh frame, plastic interior liner; Puncture-proof wheel: No; Assembled: No It’s offered with a choice of puncture-proof or pneumatic wheels; we recommend the puncture-proof option, for total peace of mind. If you’re working with a small garden or vegetable patch then something smaller and lighter might be more convenient, but this is a fantastic all-rounder. Lewis, M. J. T. (1994).

Since dikyklos ( δίκυκλος) and tetrakyklos ( τετράκυκλος) mean nothing but "two-wheeler" and "four-wheeler," and since the monokyklos ( μονόκυκλος) body is sandwiched in the Eleusis inventory between a four-wheeler body and its four wheels, to take it as anything but a one-wheeler strains credulity far beyond breaking point. It can only be a wheelbarrow, necessarily guided and balanced by a man...what does now emerge as certainty is that the wheelbarrow did not, as is universally claimed, make its European debut in the Middle Ages. It was there some sixteen centuries before. Needham, Joseph (1965). Science and Civilisation in China. Vol.4, Physics and Physical Technology, Part 2, Mechanical Engineering. Taipei: Caves Books Ltd.
