Wheelbarrow "Expander"

Wheelbarrow "Expander" FARM HOME Miscellaneous 31-4-33 Wheelbarrows don't work so well to haul bulky materials like leaves or lawn clippings. This new "capacity expander" helps solve the problem. "It allows you to pile leaves, mulch and garden debris at least 10 inches higher than you otherwise could," says inventor Alfons Tenhagen. "It's such a simple idea that I don't know why it hasn't been done before." The expander consists of 12-in. high lattice-type pvc panels, the same kind found on many privacy fences. It attaches to most standard wheelbarrows with six wing nuts and is hinged at the corners which allows it to be folded away for storage. There's no need to drill any holes. It's designed to fit most metal wheelbarrows but not plastic ones, which have a much wider lip at the edges. "Another advantage of the expander is that you can pile firewood high on the wheelbarrow without worrying that it will fall off. It helps steady the load," says Tenhagen. Sells for $25 plus $10 S&H.
