CONSTRUCTION OF WHEEL BARROW ABSTRACT Wheel barrow is used for transporting loads of heavy or bulky by pushing it form one place to another. A 100kg wheel barrow was constructed using material like; Bucket - 2.5mm galvanized steel, 700mm span Carriage - 3mm mild steel Stand - 45mm wide x4mm width steel And other parts of like Braces, Rim, and tyres. After the designing of the equipment, some operations has carried out after it was coupled to form a complete wheel barrow. Some operations that are involved in construction are marking out, cutting, pattern development, filling and drilling, bending, wielding operations and assembling of the parts. The cost of construction are considered like material, Labour const and other expenses involved. The ability of it to carry load was tested.

INTRODUCTION Wheel borrow is machine that is in second class lever, in which the load is between the fulcrum (axle) and the in effort (the handles) . It has a V- shape bucket and other features that makes it a complete wheel borrow. From the recent development of wheel borrow we notice that the longer the handle the easier to lift a load without noticing its weight. Basic needs: Wheel borrow is a machine that was constructed to solve so many problems and difficulties, to reduce loss of man power ,and time . carrying load on human head is one of the problems that are facing the society especially for those that did not have money for transporting their goods from one place to another . Heavy loads are no longer carried with head . Wheel borrow has solve the problem of carrying heavy load with head. Most Industries, gardeners uses wheel barrow to solve some problems. It is also used for domestic works .the need for construction of wheel borrow has also increase our technological break through and self reliance which is a major concern of human . The machine is pushed with hand , with a long metal tube which drives the shaft that causes the rotation of the wheel. When the wheel rotates it make a movement which depends on amount of load it is carrying.
ABSTRACT After detailed study on machines and levers, the construction work started as follows:- Making out, pattern development, cutting filling, drilling, machining, assembling, welding and finishing. Detailed procedures carried out is located at the sequence of operation in subsequent pages. The machine has scale of 1:5 in all parts of its... Continue Reading

It can be used or serve as farm equipment, industrial equipment and for other purpose. How ever, mateials used for the cnstruction of wheelbarrow are bought in standard... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT Wheelbarrow is a simple machine, which belong to the second-class lever. This is because the load or resistance is placed between the effort and the fulcrum. It is used in many areas of work to convey loads that are too heavy or bulky to be carried by hand. Wheelbarrow can be used as farm equipment, industrial equipment among others.... Continue Reading
