A wheelbarrow is a tool used to increase the speed of hauling. Wheelbarrows can be made of metal or wood at a metalsmith's forge or carpenter's workshop, and can carry one fifth the amount of stuff a minecart can.
Construction
Wheelbarrows are constructed of wood at a carpenter's workshop or metal at a metalsmith's forge.
Utility
Each stockpile may have 0, 1, 2 or 3 wheelbarrows assigned for hauling items to that stockpile. Wheelbarrows will be stored in their assigned stockpile when not in use (sharing a tile with a stockpiled item). Stone stockpiles automatically have 1 wheelbarrow assigned.
Although a wheelbarrow carries less stuff than a minecart, they have an advantage over them because there is no need for a track to be preconstructed, and can go up and down stairs.
Storage
Although they are tools, wheelbarrows are stored in a furniture stockpile. They will be stored in any furniture stockpile, regardless of your chosen type restrictions (there is no "wheelbarrow" type in the list), and regardless of whether the stockpile has wheelbarrows assigned for hauling. When not in use, the wheelbarrow is stored in its assigned stockpile. Dwarves won't haul manually to stockpiles with wheelbarrows; only as many dwarves as wheelbarrows will fill a stockpile.
