Abstract
A wheelbarrow having an adjustable handle. The wheelbarrow has a bucket portion having a pair of sides and an axle accepting portion therein. An axle member is provided for insertion through the axle engagement member. The axle member has a pair of outer peripheral ends spaced on either side of the pair of sides. A pair of handles are pivotally attached to each of the pair of outer peripheral ends for allowing the handle to pivot away from the bucket portion of the wheelbarrow. Each side of the wheelbarrow has surfaces defining a plurality of handle engaging areas such that the handle may selectively be engaged in an area at a first position and selectively disengaged to move the handle to a second position. Each handle has a handle end portion which includes grip portions corresponding to the number of positions for the handles wherein each grip portion is configured at an angle for being substantially parallel to the ground when in a corresponding position in a selected corresponding slot in the wheelbarrow.
