wheelbarrowful

One heaped transport

A wheelbarrowful is the amount that fills a wheelbarrow—the single-wheeled cart used for hauling dirt, gravel, or garden materials.

The term measures quantity loosely rather than precisely: We moved three wheelbarrowfuls of mulch.

Plural: wheelbarrowfuls or wheelbarrowsful.
