Detail of the sides: I needed to transport the wheelbarrow, so the sides had to be removable and I added a slack to fit the sides

It is just missing one (or more) resting foot that this version doe not includes.

With a wheelbase of 1m withstands more than 60kg. What makes the difference is the bar that needs to be strong and the shorter the wheelbase, the more wight it will hold.

If you want something more permanent, you can follow these plans and make the sides higher and fixed such as this ornamental cart:
