In an effort to facilitate the dumping of a load from a wheelbarrow the present invention provides pivoting hand grips attached to the ends of wheelbarrow handles, which enable an individual handling a wheelbarrow to maintain a constant grip on the handle while dumping. Moreover, the pivoting hand grips enable the arms of the individual to be consistently in a position of strength proximate his hips. The risk of injury, particularly back injury, is minimized by eliminating the arm extension required to dump a standard wheelbarrow. The awkward and strenuous exercise of dumping a wheelbarrow is thereby replaced by a smooth flowing action. The present invention also includes a locking mechanism for preventing the hand grips from rotating during normal stationary or travelling usage and a releasing mechanism which can be easily manipulated by the fingers of the handler while gripping the hand grips when the load is being dumped.
