ABSTRACT:
A cross member is mounted to and extends between the handleshafts of a wheelbarrow at a location intermediate the material carrying bin of the wheelbarrow and the handles which are grasped by the laborer whereby the laborer grasping the handles can place the front of his thigh against the cross member to exert a force on the wheelbarrow to initiate lifting and forward movement of the wheelbarrow using his thigh muscles to reduce any strain on the arms, shoulders and/or back of the laborer. The cross member is a flexible strap which has mounting assemblies that is adjustable in length to permit the cross member to be mounted on wheelbarrows having differing spacings between the handleshafts.
