Review: Gorilla Carts Heavy-Duty Garden Cart

Gardening is fun and rewarding but it can also sure be a lot of hard work, especially when it comes time to haul all of the plants, fertilizer, and soil around! It is such a pain picking up each bag and moving it by hand so I've been looking for some kind of cart to make it a bit easier. We have a wheelbarrow, but it's kind of hard on my back, and difficult to lift things in and out of.

After looking around online and finding tons of flimsy carts that didn’t look like they’d last even one full season I came across something that looks fantastic. It’s called a “Gorilla Cart” and it’s a heavy duty gardening cart with a convertible handle and build in dumping feature. Don’t worry; I’ll explain what that means.

What Makes This Gorilla Carts Heavy-Duty Garden Dump Cart So Attractive?

Gorilla Carts Heavy-Duty Dump Cart

• It’s the definition of “heavy duty.” It’s got a steel frame and is made of a high strength and rust resistant material. It claims a 1,200 pound hauling capacity. I don’t know of anything that heavy you’d be hauling for gardening, but it sounds pretty capable!

• The convertible handle should make hauling easy. By convertible handle it means you can grab it and pull it by hand or easily attach it to a lawn tractor or ATV. 

• There is also a quick release for easy dumping. The big downside of most carts is having to lift the stuff you’re hauling back out and you won’t need to with this one.

• Very durable tires. They are filled with air so they can be punctured but reviewers report that they haul over rocks and bumpy terrain with no issues.

Are There Any Issues?

The only downside I’ve found so far is the assembly. You do need to put this cart together and most people say it takes around 30-45 minutes to do so and you’ll probably want a second person to help out. I'm pretty good at putting things together, so I'm not too worried about it!

Some people have reported issues if they pull it too quickly but the average lawn mower won’t pull fast enough to cause problems. If you’re pulling on an ATV you’ll probably want to be careful not to go too fast for the cart.

The cart also has a bit of a smell when you first open it up. You may want to store it outside for the first few days before putting it in the garage if it bothers you.

Conclusion

I haven’t been able to find a good, heavy duty cart that looks better than this one. The price is great for the quality, and the dump feature and handle solve the two main problems I was having. (Needing to lift everything twice and needing separate carts for hauling by hand or hauling with the wheelbarrow.) Any that didn’t need assembly were 2-3 times the price. 

This looks like a perfect cart for both heavy gardening and day-to-day use. It’s easy to care for since you don’t need to worry about protecting it from rust. It’ll hold however much you need to haul. All-in-all it seems like the best gardening cart you’ll find, but I'll report more when we've got ours ready to use!
