Gorilla Carts 4 Cu. Poly Dump Cart with No-Flat Tires

Should have bought one of these years ago. Have had this over a month and it's proved its value, makes moving stuff around the yard far easier than a wheelbarrow (one or two wheeled). No lifting and supporting a weight with your back. No pushing 80# of something uphill. Yes, you have to pull the handle but you can do that with a lot less stress on your back if done correctly. In fact, the right movements are good for your back. Also paid more for this newer model that had the new lifting mechanism. I didn't see anything visibly wrong with the old one and have no experience with it, but this new one works great. The way the back wheels sort of fold under the cart dumps most or almost all the weight. Then just pull it forward to clear. Small turning radius. Important for maneuvering. Rugged but not heavy (33#). Assembly was straightforward, intuitive, with clear instructions and no missing parts. Didn't need 6 cubic feet. 4 ft and 600# capacity is as much as I want to handle as well as the overall dimensions (fit through storage doorway). Went with the non-pneumatic tires after having replaced a pneumatic wheel on a wheelbarrow, and enduring repairs, etc., etc. Compare the cost of buying 4 non-pneumatic wheels in the future once you get frustrated, with just buying this model outright. If you get the pneumatic tires, you'll love the cart but end up hating the... tires. Good luck.

When I took delivery, the tub had a puncture in it, most likely from the parts jostling around during shipment. I immediately contacted gorilla for a parts replacement. their website made it very easy to find the part and request warranty repair. within a day, they approved and shipped me out a replacement tub! a few days later, it arrived and i swapped the damaged tub for the new tub! a few things of note about this experience and product: 1) gorillas warranty is pretty hassle free and their website is easy to navigate. they have a parts breakdown of everything so if in the future a part is damaged, looks to be easily replaceable/repairable. 2) their cart's design is pretty awesome. really easy to install and uninstall parts. at first i thought the screwholes in the tub were some extra flash, but its designed that way to hold the bolts while you work with the nuts. all the nuts using the same 13mm nut size is so convenient! 3) the cart is awesome. i wished i got one sooner. very easy to steer around the property, load it with whatever, and easily dump! its lightweight and perfect for my needs. i just wish the handle was swappable cuz i got a small rc lawnmower that can tow this thing. overall: i am impressed with this cart, but mostly impressed with the company. i can only imagine another company wanting me to ship the whole thing back or just refunding me a certain amount to appease me. gorilla makes great stuff and looks to stand behind their product! im glad i went w gorilla!

I bought this to replace a sturdy and very useful yard cart, one of those made of extruded steel with fold-down/removable sides and ends to turn it into a flatbed. I had bought this from a home improvement center back in 2007, and it did very well until the pneumatic tires broke down and failed despite my having kept it sheltered when not in use. The cost of new wheels/tires would have meant that I was spending significant money to return a well used and well worn steel yard cart to functionality for a few more years when wisdom might suggest buying a new one and donating the old one to someone with a broken cart that had decent wheels to put on this one. That's what I did. I was attracted to this Gorilla yard cart first of all because of the brand. I bought a two-wheeled Gorilla Carts wheelbarrow a few years ago and have experienced first-hand the quality and utility of this fine tool. It was and is very solid and well built, doing exactly what I need it to do. A couple of days' use has demonstrated that this new Gorilla yard cart is of the same level of construction and utility. Both it and the wheelbarrow have steel frames, but the work areas of both are of tough and durable poly material that of course does not rust or otherwise oxidize. This yard cart has a dumping mechanism that overcomes most of the need for sides that drop for easy cargo removal. This works great and, once a user gets the hang of it, is at least as handy as the dropping sides of a steel mesh cart. One final advantage is that this comes with solid, no-flat tires. Once, on an old one-wheel wheelbarrow, I replaced the pneumatic tire with a solid one and was ever after glad I had done it despite the cost of the solid tire (they are significantly more expensive than inflatable tires). Unless you specifically need the characteristics of a traditional steel mesh yard cart, you will not be unhappy you got this one.

We searched for and considered many different versions of this four cubic ft. cart. We settled on this version because of the run flat tires (Realizing that even with our best intentions sometimes tires to go flat, and potentially lose their seal around the rim. Not a problem for me, but some in our family would not appreciate that) and also that the GCG model numbers are supposedly the newer models. Realistically I did not know how often we would use it, thus potentially losing tire pressure and seals. So the run-flats provide one less thing for us to worry about. It was very easy to assemble. It was a gift for my wife, and she wanted to assemble it herself. I provided the tools and helped “seat” some of the square-headed fasteners into the square insets in the body, but she did 99% of the work. Overall the hardware was higher quality than I expected based on some of the reviews I had read. Again potentially this newer version may have higher quality hardware. I don’t know. But everything was present and aligned well. Regarding the tools needed for assembly, we used a ratcheting box end wrench (think GearWrench) rather than the adjustable wrench listed in the directions. Following the directions step-by-step and patience was key. And if you are not comfortable assembling products, that’s perfectly fine. If you want to accomplish something from multiple parts inside of a large cardboard box into a working, well-built gadget, maybe you could find a neighbor or family member with tools and knowledge to help you. I really believe my wife enjoyed the process and felt good about doing it herself. Now when she uses it, she has a satisfaction of knowing that she assembled it herself. If you do decide to assemble it yourself ( and I hope you do!), just remember the sequential installing / tightening method when you have multiple bolts holding a product together. Like tightening the lug nuts on a tire… use the cross pattern method where you start all of them and go finger tight, then tighten them a little at a time in a cross pattern (rather than fully installing and completely tightening one before installing a second one, etc.). My wife has used it once, and absolutely loves it. It’s found its own place in our garage, protected from the elements. We have a new family member, and absolutely have no regrets with our purchase.

this is my third purchase. these are really good carts. i especially like the no-flat tires. the quick release dumping is awesome.

Perfect little wagon. Easy enough to put together ..really great assembly directions. Quality built, no dissapointments ..looks like it will last. BUT be aware of their given dimensions ..especially if ‘bed size’ is important to you. We bought it to mount & be able roll around an emergency generator. So the bed size was very important to us. We subsequently found out that Gorilla takes (what they call) their ‘bed measurements’ at the top of the flared out upper rim & if that wasn’t error enough, they admittedly take these upper rim measurements ..from outside to outside of the upper tub rim. The rim itself is 1-1/2” on each side, so that adds yet another 3” to the already ‘flared out’ upper rim measures. OMG ..that is definitely not a ‘bed measurement’ which in standard practice would be take at or near the bottom of a tub ..especially when the tub body flares out as it goes up. Be aware that Gorilla states their ‘bed mesurements’ for their entire tub body line in this manner Longer story short ..our generator did not fit. We did keep & repurpose it for general hauling. That said, the cart itself is excellent ..especially for the price point. & yes we would buy again, but this time being aware of their measurements.

Easy to assemble, sturdy, and easy to maneuver. The quick-release dumping is helpful for a variety of gardening tasks and the flat-free tires are well worth the investment. Strongly recommend!

Assembly was relatively quick and easy and all parts lined up as they should. Frame and hardware are high quality. We quickly put ours to work moving mulch, soil, masonry/bricks, and will be hauling logs next. Here are some other observations: High Mobility—The cart, even when loaded down rolls easily w/free-spinning wheels and large flat-free tires that handle even the most difficult terrain, e.g., bumpy surfaces, gravel, and even very loose soil/sand. I’ve had pneumatic tires and would not choose that option, as they frequently lose pressure and do not roll as easily when loaded down, requiring more effort to pull and maneuver. Serious Hauling—The polyethylene (PE) bed/bucket, while relatively lightweight can handle a Lot of weight, and w/high sides, quite a bit of material. Easy Dumping—The dumping mechanism is smartly designed to allow it to go well past vertical (almost 180 deg, if necessary) to allow everything in it to fully empty. Would be even better if the bucket turned for side dumping also (JD sells one for their lawn mowers/tractors, but more expensive and no handle for manual use). Turns on a Dime—The cart has a zero-turn-type radius, allowing it to make hard turns easily. Versatile—I would prefer to have paid less, but the cart is more versatile and, in many cases, cheaper than carts specifically designed for pulling behind a lawn tractor. Most are not designed for manual handling—no handle, and many with only 2 wheels (vs. 4). This cart’s handle removes so it can be attached to most lawn mowers/tractors, ATVs, etc. The handle’s pin and nifty locking clip are also designed to secure the cart to most receivers, so no additional accessories are required for most hook-ups. TIPS: 1. This cart is middle-sized. If you’re on the fence between this model (7 cubic feet/1200 lb capacity) and the one w/smaller bed/bucket (4 cf/600 lb capacity), I would go w/this one. Check the attached photos for a frame of reference. Inevitably, a project will come along where you wish you had more surface area and more volume/capacity. A beefier, heavier, and pricier 10 cf cart is also available, but I believe it’s only sold w/pneumatic tires. 2. Easy rolling can make slopes more of a challenge as the cart will want to take off on its own if not parked correctly (no brake). And taking a load down a relatively steep slope can be difficult to control as it wants to go faster than you do. In these situations, you may want to reverse position and allow the cart to go down ahead of you, so your weight can function as a brake and you can better control the cart. 3. You have to physically lift the front of the bucket to unload it. For heavier loads consider distributing more of the weight towards the back end. This makes lifting easier, and more weight in back provides a gravity assist in dumping the load. Your arm, shoulder, and back will thank you. 4. While ruggedly built and durable, it’s not indestructible. When not in use, consider storing it in a shed or under some kind of cover. If you’re limited on space, you can also utilize the empty bucket to store things like bags of fertilizer, seed, mulch, soil, rock, salt, gardening supplies/tools, etc.
