Abstract
A wheelbarrow has an assisted lift dumping barrow that provides continuously biased forward tilting of the barrow relative to the frame of the wheelbarrow through two gas springs while maintaining the legs and wheel thereof on the ground. A first gas spring is connected to a right side handle of the frame of the wheelchair and to a right rear underside of the barrow. A second gas spring is connected to a left side handle of the frame of the wheelbarrow and to a left rear underside of the barrow. Each gas spring provides a continuous bias or pressure against the rear of the barrow for assisting in pivoting and lifting the rear of the barrow for dumping its contents. A latch keeps the barrow from raising until released. A separate rear barrow handle aids in overcoming bias of the gas springs for lowering the rear of the barrow.
