Abstract: A two-wheeled wheelbarrow, cart or transporter has an assisted lift dumping barrow providing continuously biased forward tilting of the barrow relative to the frame thereof through two gas springs while maintaining the legs and wheels on the ground. A first gas spring is connected to a right side handle of the frame of the wheelchair and to a right rear underside of the barrow. A second gas spring is connected to a left side handle of the frame of the wheelbarrow and to a left rear underside of the barrow. Each gas spring provides a continuous bias or pressure against the rear of the barrow for assisting in pivoting and lifting the rear of the barrow for dumping its contents.
