The wheelbarrow is designed to distribute the weight of its load between the wheel and the operator, so enabling the convenient carriage of heavier and bulkier loads than would be possible were the weight carried entirely by the operator.

Could anyone explain what's the meaning of"would be possible were the weight carried entirely by the operator." and the grammar?

Thanks!

  • '... carriage of heavier and bulkier loads than would be possible were the weight carried entirely by the operator' ≡ '... carriage of heavier and bulkier loads than would be possible if the weight were/was carried entirely by the operator' (where '≡' is used for semantically identical). – Edwin Ashworth May 23 '22 at 08:54
