This is not a paid ad for the company, nor do I have experience with this product.  The Facebook post caught my attention a week or two ago, because of the adaptability.  

This is a tracked system that dumps your wheelbarrow into a container or over a palette.  I saw usefulness in so many homestead and business uses, but I have no clue how expensive this is currently.

The simplicity of the system was neat, as it seems slightly more than a ladder track system and two drill batteries to power it.  

My brain sees this, and notices that a tool like this might make a business efficient for someone, where it was too costly or cumbersome before.  This might be useful in some homesteads, but only ones who find the need to wheelbarrow stuff around.  

Perhaps when people to get market garden size, or composting for profit this might be a very useful force multiplier. Landscape companies or even possibly concrete companies would likely put good use to this.

It’s a bit random, slightly niche, but I love it
Or rather, I love the idea of it and want to see more products similar.  This is our pre-robotics automation coming online

I think that lifter is fantastic.
They call it a Load Runner, but that is also the name of a software package!

Neat idea! I've always thought these Makita wheelbarrows with the hydraulic dumpers look like a great back saver too. A bit overkill for gardening, but definitely a lifesaver if you're doing construction work.

I have one of those, it does not have a hydraulic lifter, just a tilt tray.
