Taker is a wheelbarrow that doubles as a shovel to make work on construction sites less labour intensive.
 

More sand is used at construction sites than we might realise. It is often transferred from one location to another in order to flatten the ground or to make cement. This requires the construction worker to shovel the sand and transfer it in a wheelbarrow, which is labour intensive. Taker is an advanced wheelbarrow that is suitable for use in all kinds of construction work. It combines the functions of a shovel and a wheelbarrow. With this piece of equipment, the user will be able to move sand more efficiently.
