Ergonomic Handles Make A Better Wheelbarrow

Ergonomic Handles Make A Better Wheelbarrow FARM SHOP Tools Emmanuel Carlos came across a discarded wheelbarrow project featuring an incomplete pivoting handle design which sparked his interest He decided it would be quite simple to complete the ergonomic product He developed and patented the Pivot-All Wheelbarrow using the partial design featuring pivoting handles for improved user balance during transport and unloading He also added protective hand cups and tabs “The cups protect the hands from impact and the rotation is limited to 180 degrees making it safe to use ” Carlos says “We changed the center of the rotation to the middle so it essentially runs down the middle of your knuckles dead center to the palm ” The rotation starts and stops at 180 degrees to keep the cups from over-rotating and injuring the wrist “You have better control of the load because it rolls with the body ” he says “It’s not rigid and awkward plus the handle doesn’t have to be so thick that it pulls away from you If you’re going down a hill or berm the cups rotate to your natural position ” The Pivot-All Wheelbarrows are available in 6-cu ft standard or heavy-duty gauge tub options and retail for $70 and $100 plus S&H The wheelbarrows are available directly from the store but Carlos is attempting to place them in larger box hardware and retail businesses Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Pivot-All Motion Tools 1444 Pioneer Way Suite 17 El Cajon Calif 92020 ph 619-631-6644; info@pivot-allmotiontools com; www pivot-allmotiontools com
