The annular frame fixes the main handlebar and orients the grip of the user. The main handlebar allows the user to grasp onto the apparatus and maneuver the wheelbarrow. The first stopper and the second stopper limit the rotation of the annular frame. The apparatus preferably includes a wheelbarrow handlebar that is integrates the apparatus to a wheelbarrow. Alternatively, the apparatus includes a handlebar-receiving sleeve that mounts the apparatus onto a handlebar of a variety of wheelbarrows.
