4000 lbs(2 tons) and averages out to being roughly 9 wheelbarrows a yard at approximately 440 lbs per wheelbarrow plus 70 or so for the wheelbarrow itself. all in all,
each of us unloaded 36,000lbs(9 tons)... so that is 81 wheelbarrows at 500+ lbs in 3 hours; the average push is between 30-80 feet depending on the size of the job and how far the truck can get into the hole. so these are some of my daily thoughts on one aspect of my daily job-training regime... not to mention all the blocks we'll need to use. so... who else has some numbers to crunch?
Your point?
You do realize that you are not lifting the weight of the wheelbarrow or the total weight of its contents, don't you?
