Gorilla Carts Dump Cart, Maintenance-Free Poly, Black

Product Information

Unlike most wheelbarrows, this one lies flat on the ground when not being supported by its comfortable, foam-covered handles. That means you can easily rake leaves, mulch, or other landscaping materials right onto the canvas, and then roll it to wherever you want it. We easily dumped our test bag of mulch without any strain by tilting the wheelbarrow forward, but it also could be laid down for removing its contents if desired. And we especially loved that this wheelbarrow can easily be folded for storage; no need to take up lots of room in the garage or yard shed. Although we do feel it's somewhat expensive, we still feel that it's a very useful choice for the gardener who needs to tote around a lot of landscaping materials, but doesn't have a lot of outdoor storage space. You will find that most average trolleys come with a weight capacity of around 100kg but this can vary massively depending on the model. 100kg should be more than enough for most moderate camping needs but if you’ll be transporting specialist or heavy equipment then be sure to find something that can handle this.

If you are looking for ultimate durability when it comes to wheels, you should look for something wider as this will more evenly distribute the weight of the load. Moreover, wider wheels will give you greater stability when moving over uneven terrain and will prevent the trolley from tipping over.Face the wheelbarrow in the direction you’ll be traveling before loading it. This makes it easier to get going without having to maneuver or twist. Don’t overload the wheelbarrow, either in capacity or actual weight. Doing so makes it much likelier that you’ll struggle for control, or that the wheelbarrow will tip over. The one downside to this wheelbarrow is its handle, which is molded into the body, rather than extending outwards as with most other wheelbarrows. While the handle did make it easier to lift the wheelbarrow for dumping the bags of mulch, which we accomplished with no strain or pain, it wasn't very comfortable on our hands, so you'll definitely want to put on gardening gloves before heading out to the garden. At 45 pounds, this isn't an especially light wheelbarrow, but its large capacity means fewer trips to haul your landscaping materials out to the yard. As with anything, you will likely have a budget in mind for your camping trolley. Our advice would be to spend as much as you comfortably can. While it can be very tempting to choose a camping trolley that comes with an attractive price tag, this doesn’t always mean that you will be getting the best deal.

For example, it comes with a massive 150kg weight limit which makes it ideal for longer trips or when you have a lot of equipment. The frame is made from steel so is robust enough to withstand anything that a demanding trip throws at it without warping or bending. What’s more, you get excellent rust protection so it is safe to use in wet weather. Michelle Ullman is the home improvement/tool expert for The Spruce.

We liked that the single wheel has a no-flat design that won't puncture or lose air even when pushing the wheelbarrow across gravel or other rough ground. However, we did wish that the wheel was a little wider, which would have provided more overall stability. Still, we really liked this wheelbarrow's overall performance and also appreciated that it was easy to assemble.Overall, we were pleased with all aspects of this wheelbarrow's performance, and consider its low price to make it even more of a score. At only 26 pounds, this is a relatively lightweight wheelbarrow that should serve any avid gardener well through many seasons. There are two common wheel types: solid wheels, often called flat-free wheels, and pneumatic or rubber wheels with inner tubes. Each has its own pros and cons. The frame of the trolley will typically be made from either aluminium or steel. Both of these metals offer great durability but aluminium will generally be more lightweight. However, the compromise here is that it may warp slightly easier than steel. If you’re looking for something more heavy duty, we would recommend steel. But for those who need a lightweight trolley for a few essential items, aluminium is the way forward. One other hiccup we noted was when we tried pushing the two bags of mulch out at the end of our test—we weren't able to tip the wheelbarrow far enough for them to fall out on their own. Still, overall the wheelbarrow's performance was excellent, and at only 26 pounds, it's lightweight enough for just about any gardener to use with ease. Plus, it is easy to store upright when not in use.
