The bulldozer shovel uses a reinforced metal edge to help maximize the product performance. This unique combination creates a functional wheelbarrow, which gets a wide range of garden and other outdoor chores done with less effort than ever before.

Professor Dr. Peter Zec, the initiator of the red dot design award said "As always, our jury cast a very careful eye over the products submitted. Design quality has asserted itself clearly in the judging process, with genuine and new creative solutions also being rewarded. Both of these criteria are not just yardsticks for good design, but also for the potential for success on the market."
