There should be an archived thread on this from a discussion awhile
back.  As I mentioned at the time, my wife (from Fairfield County,
CT) refers to "wheelbarrels", while I (from
NYC/Rochester/California/New Haven) had never been aware of
encountering the form, so if it's regional, the isogloss is very
complicated.
