A wheelbarrow is not considered a complex machine; it is classified as a simple machine. It primarily consists of a lever (the handles), a wheel (which reduces friction), and a container for carrying loads. Its design allows for the efficient movement of heavy items with minimal effort, making it a practical tool for various tasks. While it combines different simple machines, its overall function remains straightforward.
A complex machine is a machine that is made up of two or more simple machines. Examples: Pencil sharpener, Washing machine, Wheelbarrow
A wheelbarrow is a lever and wheel and axle, so it is a compound machine.
A wheelbarrow and a pair of scissors are examples of complex machines.
A wheel and axle and a lever
The handles of a wheelbarrow would be the lever of the machine system. The wheel would be the fulcrum or center point. The part of the wheelbarrow that is used as a lever system is the operator. The operator lifts the handles and creates a lever.

2nd class lever
A wheelbarrow uses a lever as a simple machine to lift a load. The handle of the wheelbarrow acts as the lever, allowing the user to exert a force to lift the load placed in the container.

The wheelbarrow is a lever because it pivots about a focal point called a fulcrum, in this case located at the wheel.
