A construction worker motorized a wheelbarrow and turned backbreaking labor into effortless motion

Let's see him fill it up with 600 lbs of wet concrete. That is the true test of a wheelbarrow.

That'd be pretty much useless in the real world. It's not that hard to push a wheelbarrow.

honestly this is genius work smarter not harder literally

not so innovative

Looks like fun for sure, but not practical on the job site, but you would look cool commuting there.

what's next for mechanizing manual labor in construction?

I have seen these being used by a few concrete places by me.

Motorized wheelbarrow just ended back pain forever

It’s called a Georgia Buggy…they sell them…

Merging in traffic is easy!😁

That's what I need for my firewood hunts.

This would not have been safe for the 12 year old me to operate

He has seen the converted tractors in Vietnam.

Smart

MudBuggies Been around since I started on the job site 40 years ago. Might want to check the patent date on his invention. Only fun and not backbreaking when you hold on and watch where your going. They will toss you, especially full.

But hacked the life algorithm

It's called a Georgia buggy

Wow that's really impressive. Mannnn

People are getting so creative with innovations

@AlGoody421 Didn’t think you could dump your load any faster? Think again!

Awesome. And when he's done, he goes to the gym to build (stress) the same muscles he didn't want to stress at work.

get to have a little fun while doing your work now!

Finally somwone who uses 100% of his brain

Nice designs but need some details to be very useful for used 👌😎

Can you motorize the shovel that puts dirt in the wheelbarrow next? Doing yard work now. My back hurts.

oh good, we need more things that run on fossil fuels. (btw, why didn't they drop the load closer to the hole?)

No thanks. I don't need another engine to work on.

Better off as EV

This is what a boring adult version of one of these looks like

Overkill?

Off to do the shopping

They make trucks too.

In my experience, stuff like this will get you labeled as "lazy".
