  • Patent number: 5350030
    Abstract: A motorized wheelbarrow with an off-center pivoting Load bucket makes unloading the wheelbarrow easy and quick. The pivot point underneath the bucket is located between a center point of the bottom of the load bucket and a back end of the bucket defined as the end closest to the human operator. A latch holds the bucket in a normal position in which the same is horizontally disposed. Upon release of the latch, since the pivot of the bucket is off-center, gravity will force the bucket to pivot forward into a dumping position, thereby emptying the contents of the wheelbarrow. The wheelbarrow is powered by an engine which further drives a generator, thereby providing electrical power at remote locations.
