  • Patent number: 11440574
    Abstract: A powered wheelbarrow assembly includes a wheelbarrow that includes a frame and a bucket that is hingedly coupled to the frame. A pair of front wheels is each rotatably coupled to the frame to roll on a support surface. A pair of rear wheels is each pivotally coupled to the frame to roll on the support surface. Each of the rear wheels is rotatable about a vertical axis for steering the wheelbarrow. A motor is coupled to the frame and a drive unit is movably coupled to the frame. The drive unit is in mechanical communication between the motor and the front wheels such that the motor rotates the front wheels when the motor is engaged. In this way the motor reduces the effort required to transport a load in the wheelbarrow. A clutch is movably coupled to the frame for engaging and disengaging the drive unit.
