The invention relates to a wheelbarrow having a load tray 12 carried by a wheeled frame. The load tray comprises elastomer material which is formed such that it is reversibly reconfigurable by application of manual force to a central region of the load tray between two stable and ordered configurations; a stowage configuration in which depth of the load tray is minimized and a use configuration in which the load tray provides a dished, upwardly open receptacle for receiving material to be transported in the wheelbarrow. The frame may have a rigid girdle 14 which surrounds and carries the load tray. A leg 24 may be carried by the girdle, the leg rotatable between a use and stowage positions. An upper part of the leg may be slidable received in a channel of the girdle to allow a lateral dimension to be minimized. A wheel carrier 18 may be carried by the girdle and may be rotatable about two perpendicular axes so that the wheel can be stowed to lie in or alongside the girdle. A handle 34 may also be pivotally coupled to the girdle. Also disclosed is a tool support for attachment to a wheelbarrow.
