Curb King’s line of powered wheelbarrows is designed to assist anyone who has to move a heavy load. A powered wheelbarrow removes much of the work of pushing a wheelbarrow. Simply stand and operate a throttle; the wheelbarrow does the work. It allows you to climb over terrain that you could not attempt with a standard wheelbarrow. The curb king wheelbarrows comes in three configurations: a standard nonpowered configuration, a gas-powered, and an electric model.
