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.

This gives the gloves extra grip on wet or oily materials, and better surface adhesion on dry applications. Sizes from XS to XXL ensure a proper fit and optimal dexterity. Antibacterial surfactants prevent odors and bacteria from forming. The gloves are well suited for wet, oily and dry applications.
