Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a wheelbarrow comprising a storage unit, and a wheel assembly associated with the storage unit and having at least one wheel of a predetermined diameter. The wheelbarrow further comprises at least one gripping member, also associated with the storage unit, and adapted for manipulation of the wheelbarrow by an operator. The storage unit is formed with at least one wall extending along a direction tangent to the at least one wheel. The wheelbarrow is adapted to assume a first, ‘transport’ position in which the wheelbarrow is transportable about upon the wheel assembly, and a second, ‘L’ position in which the wheelbarrow has an essentially vertical orientation with respect to a surface, in which the wheelbarrow is supported by the wheel assembly and the wall.
