Abstract
A wheelbarrow leveling system for easily leveling a wheelbarrow on uneven and sloped ground surfaces. The wheelbarrow leveling system generally includes an outer leg having an outer leg mount adapted to be secured to a wheelbarrow. An inner leg is slidably positioned within the outer leg such that it may be extended and/or retracted within the outer leg to different heights. A trigger is provided which, upon being engaged or disengaged, will cause a locking member to engage with or disengage with one of a plurality of apertures positioned on the inner leg, thus allowing the overall height of the present invention to be easily adjusted to level a wheelbarrow.
