DescriptionA Mk 8 Wheelbarrow explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robot remotly detonates a suspect explosive device. Afghanistan. 13-03-2002 MOD 45141173.jpg
English: The Royal Logistic Corps EOD team remotely detonated a suspect explosive device using the Wheelbarrow Mk8b Bomb Disposal Robot. British troops were deployed in Afghanistan on Operation Fingal under the auspices of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). The mission was to assist the interim administration with security and stability.
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 with an all up weight of 300kg, is more than capable of pushing a saloon car with its brakes applied. Equipped with a wide selection of disruptor weapons Wheelbarrow is always used where possible to recce and render safe potential bombs rather than expose the operator to a potentially lethal explosion.
