It should also be noted that the cart can be used by two people. She has more luck with the garden cart although it should be said that the size of the cart means you can’t haul as big of a load… so the weight is always less than what would likely be in the wheelbarrow. Less effort to use: Although I have no problem loading the wheelbarrow up with topsoil and hauling around the house, the wife just can’t handle that amount of weight. In theory, the garden cart could even be stored on a shelf if you took the time to replace the bolt on the handle with some type of quick disconnecting clevis pin. The garden cart has a smaller footprint and when not in use as the handle folds up. I had a wall mount, but even then the frame sits about two feet away from the wall. I’d say there are pros and cons of each.Įasier to store: We actually have to keep our wheelbarrow around the back of the garage because there is just no great way to store it in the garage. I own both a nice wheelbarrow and one of these Gorilla carts. But the poly cart really makes more sense. and buying a tarp or 2 for when I need to haul dirt or leaves etc. Had I not bought that model I was considering getting the GOR1000PS (-C). And yes I also cart the kid around on the thing too – she loves it It’s not that heavy and I lift it up and hang it on the hook by the front axle.īuilding a fence a while ago I used one of these my neighbor had – hauled some 200 or more pickets stacked on top contained by the staves in the pockets. I hang it on 2 hooks in a board screwed to the wall on the side of my garage.
I don’t take mine apart to store it and I don’t put it under a bench. One thing that is also nice about it – those pockets on the side hold a 1×4 (or 3) – so you can put staves in there and use it to hold taller stuffs. I didn’t want the next size bigger because I was afraid it might be too hard to move by hand for the wifey. I do have a garden tractor which is partly why I got the next size up. I’ll second getting the next size bigger gorilia cart. If you have a garden cart, would you recommend it? What are some of the other downsides I might not be seeing? Lower to the ground, might require more bending?.Some reviews complain about assembly and tire quality.Lower to the ground, easier to store under a workbench or shelf.There are also other brands, but Gorilla Carts seems to be widely available and reasonably well-reviewed. I have seen convertible metal frame or cage carts, with removable sides. I could always step up to one if or when needed. There are steel-bucket garden carts, but they’re larger, heavier, and more expensive. It’s pretty inexpensive too – currently $70 shipped from Amazon. I’m looking at the Gorilla Carts GOR4PS, which has a poly (plastic) container, dumping feature, steel frame, 10″ pneumatic tires, and 600 pound load rating.
