Bought for my husband’s birthday gift. He is an avid gardener and uses it every day. He found it very easy to assemble.

The cart is great, very stable and pulls easy. Really like the handle length means no problem bending over while walking and pulling it. Great instructions to assemble. Like one of the other reviewers mentions, two of the panels came with bent tabs on side panels, took some time with a screwdriver and vise to straighten those out before it would go together. Since it was really well packaged and not banged up in shipping it appears to be manufacturing error?

So impressed I wrote a review
Never went back and wrote a review before now Bought this cart for my wife to shuttle her flowers and soil mix around. She had been using a kids wagon. Yes it did come in a box about 6 in tall. That I thought was a bad thing. To my surprise the arrangement of hardware in blister packs made assembly a breeze. Made of sturdy metal and will last her forever. Sides come off easily also. I highly recommend.

    We bought this cart for our 15+ year old goldendoodle who can’t walk more than a few feet anymore. He absolutely loves going out again for his “walks”. He weighs 65 lbs and fits perfectly with a dog bed and blanket underneath. We love this!

    Handled a heavy load
    A family friend gifted to me a 6 person hot tub for free. I just needed to come get it out of their backyard. Weighing over 600 lbs, I purchased this cart since the walls of the cart were removable and it was rated for 800 lbs. Moving the tub using the cart made the move much easier that I was expecting. A flat base with a moving blanket prevent marking the wood sides.

      This is my third Gorilla cart
      It's pretty hard to ruin a gorilla cart by hand. If you plan on towing it with something substantial, it pays to weld supports around the gimbal, or just ditch the wheels entirely. My first gorilla cart is as pictured. The second cart has a horseshoe welded to the front of it, so it can be dragged without steering. The third cart is being used with a lawn tractor, so it will probably work as intended. Maybe..

        Weak product
        Found a tire had a blister right out of the box. Exchanged that tire. First heavy trip hauling wood, lost a cotter pin and rolled a tire off the rim. This cart is fine for hauling groceries into the house. Do not use for anything more challenging.

          Good cart, except for tires
          I like this cart and find uses for it all the time. It's generally well-built and versatile. But, as I've seen in other reviews, the tires only last a short time -- in my case, one year. Two tires cracked and no longer hold air -- even though they have tubes. The cart was stored in my shed, out of the sun. I ended up buying four new tires at the famous tool store that sells mostly Chinese tools. Although relatively inexpensive, it was still another $40 after only one year. Still, I recommend it.

            Honestly my only complaint is about the product specs. It has assembled depth 46” and product depth 44” roughly but no where does it tell you that the actual cart depth is roughly 9”. That is really important information that would have helped my decision with purchasing this cart. We made it work for what we needed but I wish more of the 44” or 46” depth was more of the carrying part and that the description was clearer. We used it for hauling camping gear ( big scout campout) into the woods and while it was great for heavy stuff and the terrain, you couldn’t haul a lot without straps or rope because the sides are short. Otherwise it’s a great cart, just not complete spec information.

              poor paint quality over rusted metal
              The cart looked OK and was easy to assemble. The problem is the paint pealed off in a long strip across almost the whole front of the bottom front rail. The metal underneath was not primed and was mostly covered with rust. Once I start using the cart, I expect more pieces to flake off. I'll take a chunk of the paint to H.D. to get a color match on a pint of paint for touch ups.

                I store wood in this to keep it off the pavers to make cleaning easier. Simple to assemble, strong and maneuvers well even with the weight.

                easy setup...until its not
                High dollar cart is pretty stable. However all the work they put into laying out a simple construction is lost when you have to bore a 1/2" hole in the handle so the cotter pin they supplued actually fits. Glad i had the drill and bits capable of going through the metal handle

                  Wonderful and sturdy. Rolls with ease. We actually bought ours to get our big ol' precious furbaby outside as his back legs had given out on him. Best purchase we could have made for our sweet boy, gifting him the outdoors his last few days that he couldn't have done otherwise. Thank you, Gorilla Carts.

                  I ordered online and picked up at store and it was already assembled for me. Which was cool. I appreciated that. Everything is good about it but the only thing I would change is having rails to stay attached to bed and fold down when not needing the rails. Or have a carrier underneath for storage of rails when not in use. Also, toughen up the plastic handle as it twisted and felt like it was going to break under load and turning around. Only had two medium toolboxes that are well under the weight rating. I've had it for a month and it does what I need it for. But, I will be getting a bigger bed next time because it is somewhat small for some other jobs I will be doing and needing it for.

                  Sturdy and very useful
                  We have millions of uses for this cart, from gardening, moving things into/out of office as I now have to work from home, helping family members move, etc. But the best use is for our elderly dog who is unable to get around like he used to, especially in the heat. He now gets to ride to the park in style. :)

                    THAT WORK!!!!!
                    Wow, I’ve been dying for a versitile utility cart. I use this for (1) yard work, (2) beach activities, (3) park activites and much more. Is capable of concrete, sand and grass. Obviously on sand, it becomes a little more difficult to pull because the tires are not super rugged. Ive been able to carry 20 bags of mulch/soil in this and pulled it with ease. I also placed 200 lbs of dumbbells and weighted plates and it was so easy to pull. My only major critcisim is they shouldve installed a braking mechanism when youre loading/unloading on a slope.

                        Excellent cart, phenomenal customer support!
                        I bought this a few weeks ago to tote the kids around the yard using my tractor. Ironically, the same day I purchased the cart, my buddy needed help moving his massive 550 lb safe. This made quick work of that, except for a few scratches! The biggest reason I recommend this cart to my friends isn't just the durability, its the customer service. About a week ago I left my tractor in neutral and accidentally rolled back into the cart, breaking the handle. I contacted gorilla carts, and they sent me a brand new one free of charge a few days later! Awesome customer service and I will be buying from them again! TLDR: Held a 550 lb safe no issues. I broke the handle on accident and gorilla carts sent me a brand new one in a few days free of charge.

                          This cart is easy to handle and made it much easier to get heavy bags of compost, mulch and gravel into my yard. I took the sides off and I was able to carry even more and it was much easier to unload. What a back saver!!

                          Great, strong cart. Bought it to haul yard work items, but currently it is the drop spot on my porch for groceries, packages, etc. being delivered to my house. I am an older adult trying to stay healthy, and it makes a great depository for items that need to wait 24 hours before being touched and for hauling delivered groceries from the porch to the kitchen without having to continually lean over to pick up heavy items.

                          This cart exceeded my expectations. I needed something that would help me transport my Christmas Village houses from the shed, across the yard, to my house and back. I have joint pain, so trekking back and forth with a couple of houses at a time was no bed of roses. This cart was fantastic and just what I was hoping for. The fact that you can use the cart with or without the sides makes this quite versatile. With the sides I was able to move 10 or more of my houses in a single load. Without the sides, I moved several heavy large bags of leaves out to the curb. And I love the large wheels. The cart was not difficult to assemble, even for a 68-year-old woman. And, removing and putting the sides back on is a breeze. I can’t say enough good things about this cart. If you are looking for a yard buddy, this is the perfect companion. I definitely recommend this cart and give it 5 stars.

                          Pulled this cart while walking 3 miles, uphills and downhill full with trimmer, grass cutting tools, small gas tank, juice for drinking, and small radio. Very easy to pull about 100 lbs of tools and dissasembles fast to store away in the closet.
