Soil is typ about 1T/cu yd

Concrete, about 2T/cu yd

Wheelbarrow capacity is typ 1/6 cu yd

So, sizing with concrete's density in mind
suggests it would never see more than ~700lb load.

Anything that you'd EXPECT to encounter with a
wheelbarrow that would EXCEED that? (i.e., you
wouldn't be lugging gold bullion around in one)

The only thing that comes to mind might be iron for
one reason or another. That probably wouldn't be something
Joe Homeowner would do.
Farmers wouldn't generally haul anything too heavy. They have
all sorts of equipment sitting around.
The only tning that comes to mind as far as sturdiness would
be shipping weight. It wouldn't be all that accurate but might
serve as a rough guide.
