Actually, here in the US I'd say people are more likely to associate a wheelbarrow with a construction or roadwork site than yard work - but that probably depends on the part of the country, rural/urban, etc.
In fact, if you search for wheelbarrow from a US IP, two of the categories that Google Images uses to break down the variations is "Garden" and "Heavy Duty.
Basically, if it uses handles and one or more wheels as leverage to allow heavy or cumbersome loads to be moved around by only the strength of one person, it's a wheelbarrow here.

That's all. I've been waiting a long time to add that closing parenthesis. (And I wouldn't have commented at all, but this page doesn't allow me to enter a comment of fewer than three characters.)

Wheelbarrow. (different name - different country?)

There is a difference. The picture shows a brutal trolley made of a one-piece bent metal pipe while a wheelbarrow can be flimsy)

Probably not, for the people asking - because the usage confusion here is both "wheelbarrow" AND "trolley." In the US we don't really say "trolley" for anything but streetcars and trams, like those found in San Francisco, Disneyworld or "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood."
That's why the famous "Trolley Problem" isn't called the "Tram Problem," because the first significant paper on the dilemma was written by >American< philosopher Judith Jarvis Thomson.
This object is called a wheelbarrow here, regardless of its strength or purpose, because we don't have another word in regular use. We also don't use the term "shopping trolley," here it's a "shopping cart." And we don't refer to the cars on a train as trucks, while in the UK they are more likely to do so, because they call a big semi-truck a "lorry;" a word that is effectively non-existent in American English.

Alicia, I thought they were alternate, equally correct, spellings, but I did a search and found an authoritative page (I know and respect this author) that explains why wheelbarrow is the correct word. But a lot of people call it a wheelbarrel. (And any case it seems that this picture is something altogether different...)
