Overview
The Torque Fitness TANK™ M1 Wheelbarrow Handles are a specialized attachment designed exclusively for the three-wheel TANK M1 push sled. These handles allow athletes to perform "wheelbarrow" carries, which are elite-level exercises for core stability and grip strength. By providing additional leverage, the handles also make it significantly easier to lift, maneuver, and pivot the M1 sled in tight training spaces.

Performance Benefits
Core & Posterior Chain: The wheelbarrow carry effectively targets the core, lower back, and glutes. Shifting the handles to a lower position allows for deep walking lunges and shrugs.
Functional Carries: Excellent for simulated "Farmer’s Walks," providing a metabolic stimulus that is nearly silent and safe for indoor/outdoor surfaces.
Omnidirectional Navigation: Solves the challenge of turning a sled in a narrow driveway or gym lane. The handles allow you to "pick up" and pivot the unit effortlessly.
Space-Saving Training: By using the M1's magnetic resistance for carries, you eliminate the need for a separate dedicated wheelbarrow implement in your gym.
Maintenance and Care
Handle Seating: Regularly ensure the handles are fully seated in the M1 frame sockets before initiating a heavy lift or carry.
Grip Hygiene: Wipe down the debossed metal handles after each session to remove sweat, chalk, and dirt.
Surface Awareness: When using the handles to lift and pivot the sled, be mindful of the clearance for the front wheel sensor to prevent damage.
Wall Storage: If storing on the wall hanger, ensure the handles are secured according to the hanger’s instructions to prevent them from falling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these fit the TANK M4 or MX? A: No. These are specifically hardware-mapped for the TANK M1 frame. Four-wheel models require the MX Wheelbarrow Handles.
Q: Do I need weight plates to use these handles? A: No. The TANK M1's magnetic resistance provides the load. However, you can use the M1 Dumbbell Cradles to add traction if the wheels slip on slick surfaces.
Q: Can I perform sled pushes with these handles? A: While you can push with them, the standard performance handles are better suited for high-power sprints. These handles are optimized for lifting and carrying.
Q: How much do they weigh? A: The handle pair weighs approximately 11.2 lbs.
