Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005081844A2] Improvements to a known convertible barrow for ground level loading with a pivotable wheel carriage (36) for either resting on the ground for loading or pivoted under the barrow platform (20) for transporting a load. The improvements locate the pivot points (48) of the wheel carriage equidistant from the wheel carriage when it is adjacent the inclined rear wall (18), when it passes the heel end (24) during pivoting and when it is adjacent the midpoint of the platform to obtain a minimum, tilt angle during conversion. A pivotable gate (36) provides a closure member (56) for retaining the load at the time of tilting the barrow and is pivotable about pivot points (55) on arms (58, 60) to an open position.
