wheelbarrow

One-wheeled pusher

A wheelbarrow is a small cart with one wheel at the front and two handles at the back, used for carrying loads short distances—typically in gardens, on construction sites, or around farms.

The operator lifts the handles and pushes, with the single wheel allowing easy maneuvering through tight spaces.

He loaded the wheelbarrow with mulch and pushed it to the flower beds.
