Abstract

Wheelbarrow is a simple machine a large open container to move things, which belong to the second-class lever. This is because the load or resistance is placed between the effort and the fulcrum. Wheelbarrow can be used as farm equipment, industrial equipment, among others. A wheelbarrow might consists of a tray or bed composed of steel, wood, or plastic. A steel brace attaches this bed to steel support legs and to a steel or plastic wheel, with a rubber tire around. In two- or four-wheeled models, the wheels may be similar to bicycle tires, complete with inner tubes. Materials used in the construction of the wheelbarrow. Our goal is to innovate a product that is useful on everyday basis but also turns into a safety equipment when needed. With extensive research we have designed a wheelbarrow that is multipurpose in nature. It can be used as a normal wheelbarrow on the day-to-day activities and as a floatation device to carry load and children in terms of floods. Our process included everything from research into the selection of materials into the most optimum design that would be feasible both technically and economically. The analysis has been done by using Ansys. We also tuned the ergonomics of the wheelbarrow so that it is easy in operation which can be used on day-to-day basis.
