Questions & Answers
If you put enough weight on this cart, it will jackknife and tip over. I had about 300 pounds of bricks in this, and it tipped over due to my own fault.
Cubic feet, not yards, are used to measure the capacity of wheelbarrows and carts. One yard equals 27 cubic feet, and this cart holds about 7 cubic feet. Most people can't handle much more weight and still move it around, so it's 9 cubic feet, or about 1/3 of a yard. It's the best deal in this size, with wheels that come off in under 3 minutes for storage and only one cotter pin per wheel. Susan
I'd like to replace the tires on my golf cart. GCT-enabled rims Nobody seems to have any 13F "no flat" ones. It says "product not available" on Amazon, and I can't find them on eBay or the Gorilla Cart site. Do you have any suggestions?
It will fit through a door that is 30 inches wide. The largest span is about 26'' from wheel to wheel.
Selected User Reviews For Gorilla Carts Heavy-Duty Poly Yard Dump Cart | 2-In-1 Convertible Handle, 1200 lbs capacity | GOR6PS model
I'm very happy with the lb capacity one. I bought this to do some crushed stone landscaping and read the reviews about how flimsy the lower capacity model was, so I went with this one with a 1,200 lb capacity. I've moved 25 tons of crushed stone with no problems, maxing out the capacity on each trip, and the larger tires make pulling over uneven terrain easy (even for my wife), though it took a team effort to dump. When I first bought it, I wanted to see it fully loaded, but all I could see was some firewood and a few rocks. As a result, I've included a couple of images that demonstrate the true capacity of this container. One of the images depicts a couple of journeys into my 25-year-old car. While one project was loaded 96 times (yes, I counted) and still finished strong, the other was not.
The utility and durability of this cart have pleasantly surprised me. It's taken over a lot of the tasks that my wheelbarrow used to do, but I don't think it'll ever be able to completely replace it. The dumping capability is far more useful than I had anticipated, and the design of the cart is nearly perfect in terms of how it 'kneels,' allowing for quick unloading. It's also convenient that I can connect it to my riding mower, which is particularly useful given our yard's slope. br>br>I say almost perfect because the only flaw I see with this mechanism is that you have to pull the latch lever back in place to lock it. I'd prefer it if the spring tension could be adjusted so that all I had to do was tilt the cart back up and the mechanism would catch on its own. It's also worth noting that the cart weighs considerably more than a typical wheelbarrow (3 cubic foot capacity). br>br>The assembly instructions were clear enough, and I thought it was fairly simple to put together, but I am familiar with the toolbox and am used to putting together things like this. For extra capacity, I added wooden stake sides to the cart (plans are available on Gorilla Cart's website). This came in handy when it came to raking leaves this fall.
The cart was simple to put together, but one of the wheels was flat when it arrived. To inflate the tire, I had to go out and buy an air compressor, then I drove the cart for two hours on grass, dirt, and gravel before putting it in the garage. When I went to use the cart the next morning, three of the tires were flat, including the one that had been flat since delivery. When I contacted the company, they informed me that four new tires would be delivered the following day. I inflated the three flat tires and drove the cart for a couple of hours before discovering that all four tires had flatted. When I called to inquire about my tires after a week, I was told that I needed to send them the invoice before they could send them. I sent the invoice, but no new tires have arrived.
Last week, I received the product, which appeared to be a good value. Assembly was simple, and the product performed admirably for several hours until the front pin attached to the front frame broke in half, rendering the product useless. The front handle dislodged from the frame, and the front wheels dislodged from the frame as well. Unless a new front frame is shipped and installed, there is no way to resolve this issue. I contacted the manufacturer via their website the same day the cart broke and have not received a response in six days. I also called their customer service and got the same message: "all of our customer service representatives are assisting other customers, please leave a message. " I've left two messages in three days and have not received a response. Poor customer service resulted in a product that broke after only a few uses.
It has pre-cut holes in the barrel for you to put screws through to attach the metal bars underneath, which I purchased because the reviews said it was easy to assemble and a great product. One, you'll need two people to tighten it up, and two, the pre-cut holes were misaligned, and the screws wouldn't go all the way into the metal bars on the other side to make a good connection, and the screws are now stuck, and I can't get them out. It's now a jumble of trash. Not to mention the fact that I had no idea it had been delivered until I received it. It was tacked to the side of my house, and the box was battered and battered. The seller and Amazon have both disappointed me greatly. Don't buy large items that you won't be able to return online; instead, buy them locally.
This is a genuine product. I was on a tight deadline to move 16,000 pounds of river rocks that I had delivered. I was concerned that, having just ordered a cart, it would collapse under the weight of cartloads of these items. That was not the case. It was a huge success. When it came to dumping all of the loads, it worked flawlessly. For assembly, I strongly advise using a socket wrench. Since it already has everything else, my only request is for some sort of locking mechanism. A cart went missing while being pushed down a steep hill. Although it was technically my fault for disobeying the laws of physics, having a lock/stop would have been beneficial. This is a product that I would recommend to everyone.
