Gorilla Carts 4 Cu. Steel Utility Cart with No-Flat Tires

Summary: Compared to several other wagons of this type that I have bought; this specific Gorilla wire mesh wagon is several steps over anything else I see here. It stings my wallet, but the value and quality are there. I see a few cost-saving moves were made to reduce part-count\build complexity, and my gripes about those are limited. Could it hold 800lbs? I dont know, and that is irrelevant, because I couldnt move 800lbs with or without this wagons help. I rated the wagon 5 stars because of the 'quality to value to price' aspect, it arrived fast, it was not damaged, and exceeded my expectations. Pros: The steel is of a thicker gauge, making it stronger. The welds are clean and well done. All parts, especially the ones that mount to the wagon that also hold the wheels; are over-engineered and straight. I have received mis-aligned and warped parts from other sellers. Assembly is straight forward and took me less than 10 minutes. One note: the nuts used to attach the U shaped struts to the wagon require a very large socket, wrench, (or vice-grips :D ) You have been warned. Gripes that aren't really Cons: The wagon uses a locking pin in many locations that I would have rather had locking nuts for, like the wheels for example. The sides use a slot-tab design when I would have rather seen the hinge-pin design used in other wagons. So that means when you take the sdies off you have to make sure you dont lose them, where as simply having the 'open' but still attached keeps them with the wagon. Mine came with solid wheels, which is fine; the gripe is the use of locking pin to keep the wheels on. The wheel tubes are hollow, and I do not doubt they can hold any weight I might put on the wagon, but locking nuts on a solid axle would have been a better choice for strength, durability, and adjustment of the slop of the wheels. Mine have a bit of room to wiggle back and forth on the axle, which I do not like, but this is certainly not a showstopper, but possibly a cost saving move.

I use this cart to gather large pieces of wood from my local forest to use as firewood. I stack it high and heavy, and the Gorilla cart takes everything easily, even on dirt trails or uneven terrain. When it gets really heavy (not sure, maybe when you get up to around 800lbs.), it definitely feels tougher to pull, but is still doable with a little willpower and elbow grease. No matter the weight , it rolls very smooth, and easily. The Gorilla cart is simply an amazing, beefy beast, and paid for itself after the first day of use (at least for me with firewood). Just for the hell of it, I also pulled two full sized adults and a child approximately two miles, and it barely felt any heavier or different to pull than when empty, so it’s also great for pulling kids, and fat, lazy adults. Just some technical FYI: the rails remove easily and are strong enough, but the front or back rails support the sides, so you can remove either the front or back alone, but not both, otherwise the side rails collapse and it becomes a flat bed. It’s a valuable, tough tool with a million potential uses.

This isn’t my first Gorilla wagon and I’m a repeat customer for a reason. Very sturdy, incredibly versatile with the drop down sides, and this particular model has a way to connect the handle to my ATV or lawn mower. The flat free wheels were a draw for me since a different wagon (not Gorilla) was always getting leaks from those pesky Wyoming prairie goat heads. Super easy to assemble.

This thing is so well built out will handle anything you throw at it. At first I thought it was a bit too heavy, and moving it with 700 pounds of cement bags required a tractor, but then I realized the tires came with minimal pressure, and after inflating them properly as per the sidewall guidance it was much easier to roll. Since then I have abused it to no end, including carrying half-ton loads of cement signs of times, half cubic yard loads of sand over very rough terrain (pulled by a 17hp lawn tractor), 500 pound rocks, bricks, ten feet long logs and more. Until today it handled everything with ease. Today we decided to move a one-ton backhoe across a two acre yard, including a heavy mud stretch and some crawling over rocks. I guess it had handled so much I though it was invincible, and it handled almost the whole trip, but at the end, on a steep sand incline, it was just too much and the handle broke off. There was a bit of rust inside the square pipe that supports the handle which might have made it a weak point but I really can't fault the cart for not handling twice it's rated weight under the worst possible ground. I'm actually amazed the wheels didn't blow up, the axles bent and the frame cracked under such load, but I welded the handle back in place and it actually completedv the stretch with the backhoe in tow. This thing is amazing and even if tomorrow or cracks in half, I'll be ordering another one as it's successor, because I couldn't expect more from this product. I'm so happy there are still manufacturers building products designed to last.

It's a big wagon and the box is heavy, though can be moved by a single person if one is fit! Assembles in minutes and is built to carry weight and loss of it - large rocks, sand bags, an amazing amount of chopped wood...this thing is awesome and the fact you can flip the handle and use as a tow trailer is extra bonus.

Sturdy, large tires for rugged land use Holds up to regular use on my 100 acre farm. So far so good

Took a little time and effort to attach to my John Deere, but it works.
