English: Pictured is a 11 (EOD) Regiment RLC 'Wheelbarrow Mk 8a' being operated whilst on Exercise Shamal Storm 16 in Jordan.

The Wheelbarrow is the bomb disposal operator's remote eyes and hands. Able to cross almost any terrain at a speed of up to 6 mph, the "barrow" can climb stairs and is more than capable of pushing a saloon car with its brakes applied. Equipped with a wide selection of disruptor weapons the Wheelbarrow is always used where possible to recce and render safe potential bombs rather than expose the operator to a potentially lethal explosion.

The unit has a reputation for reliability, serviceability, and an impressive list of potential tool applications, many of which may be deployed simultaneously. Command is by cable, fibre-optic link or by radio. In this latter mode, 1Km line-of-sight operation is the norm.
