A wheeled shoveling device which allows the user to scoop up snow, lift the load using the natural weight of the user as a counter-balance, and transport the load to a location whereby it can be frontally discharged using a hand-powered pulling motion on an attached jointed lever. The scoop is attached using a bushing-style hinge, to a large inverted A-shaped frame, allowing the scoop to pivot forward after application of the jointed lever, effectively discharging the scoop. The inverted “A” frame has an axle and pair of wheels which act as both a fulcrum, as well as a means for transporting the load to another location with the load being held above the ground. The scoop has a pair of small protruding wheels attached to the sides of the scoop box, preventing the scoop's leading edge blade from jamming against terrestrial surface imperfections.
