Line of Powered Wheelbarrows

Curb King
Brigham City, Utah

/Public/News/20091031080000-1.jpg" width="200" height="133" border="0" alt="Line of Powered Wheelbarrows">
Curb King’s line of powered wheelbarrows is designed to assist anyone who has to move a heavy load. A powered wheelbarrow removes much of the work of pushing a wheelbarrow. Simply stand and operate a throttle; the wheelbarrow does the work. It allows you to climb over terrain that you could not attempt with a standard wheelbarrow. The curb king wheelbarrows comes in three configurations: a standard nonpowered configuration, a gas-powered, and an electric model.

These Lunar Foam Nitrile palm-dip gloves from West Chester Holdings are ideal for all types of commercial and industrial applications. A white or salt-and-pepper nylon shell is dipped over the palm and fingertips with full-saddle coverage. This gives the gloves extra grip on wet or oily materials, and better surface adhesion on dry applications. Sizes from XS to XXL ensure a proper fit and optimal dexterity. Antibacterial surfactants prevent odors and bacteria from forming. The gloves are well suited for wet, oily and dry applications.
