Spout-Nosed Wheelbarrow for the Easy Pouring of Concrete Video

Al Williamson of AlTim, Inc., shows Bob the new spout-nosed wheebarrow they have designed to make concrete and liquid pours easier and more efficient. Liquid concrete for footings is poured into round sonotubes. A traditional wheelbarrow pours out of a wide mouth, wasting as much as two-thirds of the material as it slops out the sides. This innovative new design pours like a pitcher, leaving no waste, no spills. It is constructed of high-density polyethelyne to resist cracking in cold temperatures. The wheelbarrows have a solid cast frame, sturdy six-inch tires, and ash handles. They are in production now and should be available in home and building centers soon.
