minimum specs: working load 300lbs, size about 4ftx4ftx4ft. that would carry 1 large adult person, and is the minimum weight for a wheelbarrow full of soil. (a load of soil can be up to 500lbs; for contractors, a wheelbarrow can carry up to 660lbs or 60 cubic feet of concrete. aware of powered wheelbarrows, want this to be remote controlled)
