Gorilla Carts Poly Dump Cart, 800 lb. Capacity, 5 Cu Ft, Gray

We purchased this specifically for the fact that it was easier to assemble from what other reviewers stated, and we were glad we did. Two people with a healthy understanding of tools and assembly were able to complete this project in under half an hour, though I would not leave this to a kid to assemble solo. I use this in the garden and it truly is a game-changer. I HATED yard work and anything "gardening" when I was helping around the house as a kid. As an adult, I surprise myself that I am doing something I once hated, and I believe it has to do with the tools I selected for myself after having experienced the hard labor. Wheel barrows are garbage. Ergonomically, they aren't efficient at the task they were designed to perform which leaves most end-users with the assumption they just aren't made for that kind of activity. In truth, you just need to equip yourself with the right tools to ensure your success at the task. The Gorilla cart makes it easy for even a child or someone with limited mobility to drag around the garden. The turning radius is perfect for the tight corners of my pathways (every nook and cranny is filled with container plants, so there are plenty of obstacles for this thing to face...) and the dump feature makes it easy to clean when I like to divide plants inside the cart to keep my concrete patio clean of dirt and debris. You don't have to deal with counterbalancing a wobbling wheel barrow since there are 4 wheels to keep your carried contents level in motion and my dog loves to sit in it while watching me work the compost bin or just use it as a high perch to look over his garden-domain. Storage is definitely a concern for me since my garage is not an option, so I'll have to purchase a cover for it to keep it out of the elements. The hard plastic has not buckled or compromised in its first spring/summer season in my care, and I hope it continues to be sturdy as the years progress. Overall, I am VERY HAPPY with my purchase and if you know anyone that gardens, they will appreciate this gift if they have the space to spare. This is a MUST-HAVE for gardeners of all skill levels. I, myself, am going into my 4th year of gardening and would consider myself an urban/container gardener. Though many container gardeners starting off may not think they need this, but it is a nice self-contained work area to keep things clean. I collect an array of tropical and edible perennials, so there's always pups to divide and root ball pruning to do, so this is PERFECT for my needs. Once I invest in a composter, this will also help with harvesting to distribute to my plants. I LOVE THIS THING!!! <3

This product is great. So far it is very stable and sturdy while being used on typical yards. It distributes weight very well It is perfect for what we need. Do need to pay close attention because the cotter pins can kick off easily if they catch on something while you are loading it into vehicles. Assembly was easy if you follow the instructions. Very easy to handle that my 6 year old is able to pull it easily and they love being able to help with the yard work.

I use this primarily for gardening. We have almost an acre and most of it is uneven terrain. Our side driveway is gravel and I needed a wagon that would be able to handle that without being difficult to pull. This works perfect. It’s never tipped over. It rolls right over all types of ground, including stepping up onto our patio. It carries mulch, plants, lawn debris, anything we ask it to. Fully loaded it’s not too heavy to pull over gravel and I’ve haven’t been sorry about the purchase once. It was fairly easy to put together but I should mention that I haven’t used the dump feature. Honestly I thought I would use it more but haven’t needed to yet. I did try it out when I first got it and found it easy to do. Every time I use it, I love it. Makes lawn chores so much easier.

My husband and I are so happy with this purchase. I am really disappointed in myself for not buying this sooner. I am a very petite person and the wagon is actually easy to handle and it’s the perfect height. I had just filled the entire wagon with dirt and it was extremely heavy. The wagon is very deep and holds a lot and is very sturdy. Surprisingly, I was able to pull and push the wagon with no problem. Going downhill was a little scary, but I was able to guide the wagon with ease. The handle is a perfect size. The tires handle grass, rocks, uneven surfaces perfectly. I highly recommend this product.

Just turned 70, needed something to move heavy things around the yard like bags of leaves, dirt, garden stuff, groceries, RV batteries, etc. I DID A LOT OF LOOKING, READING, AND COMPARING. The smaller carts were too flimsy, the metal frames were too thin for longevity, so I ended up only looking at the 1200 lb size or 6 cu ft, which ended up just right, once I got to see it. Pros: Though it is a bigger size than I needed, the metal frame was thicker and built more to last for what I will be hauling without overburdening the cart. To me, paying a little more for a cart that will last was worth it. Though I would never put 1200 lbs in this cart. It would strain the metal frame. It's just right for small projects around the house. It is light to pull around and very easy to maneuver. The wheels do pull easily over gravel, dirt, and my lawn. It has enough room to carry a lot of stuff, fertilizer bags, several large bags of leaves, etc. The dump ability is perfect. I can move things around and dump them where I want without having to lift them out, though you do have to get them in the cart first. Cons: The cart is made of plastic, thin plastic! Look at the pictures. All the carts I researched had ridiculous thin plastic for this kind of thing. This is my biggest worry, and feel like I will have to be careful not to break it. I don't want to worry or be careful. I had no choice, they are all really thin plastic for a dump cart. The tires' tread seems a little cheap or thin. The rims feel heavy-duty though. Harbor Freight has good replacements when it comes time. Where the handle attaches to the cart is a worry. Thin metal at a point where it can bend with a heavy load. A big negative is the release handle to dump the cart. Very cheap and bad design. You can barely get your un-gloved hand between the tub and the handle to pull it out to dump the cart. Very bad design. I have to force my hand with gloves on to squeeze in between to pull the handle. What I love is the size to move things, so I can dump it, eliminating having to lift it out, and it easily pulls around the yard. My worries are that the thin plastic tub will crack or split, that the tire tread won't last long, and where the handle attaches to the cart will bend, and the cheap way they designed the release handle to dump. Otherwise, with what is out there to buy, I am very happy with this cart. Hopes this helps.

So far so good. I bought the smaller version of this wagon so that I could handle the load. It holds a 2 cu ft bag of mulch nicely. It was easy to assemble and seems pretty rugged although, to be fair, I have not hauled rocks in it yet. The dumping feature is nice too. Happy with my purchase.

I bought this for myself because regular wheelbarrows and I do not mix well. 😂 Eight years later and this thing has been a work horse. I’ve used it more times than I could possibly count. I’ve hauled dirt, plants and a decent amount of bricks in it without any problems. It maneuvers really well over grass, gravel and dirt and saves my back from dealing with an awkward wheelbarrow. I also love that it dumps. It doesn’t always dump every last bit of soil out, so I usually have to help the rest along. That’s really my only complaint. After 8 years I just got my first flat tire. Considering how much I’ve used this thing, I can’t complain about that. If this one ever needs replacing, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one. I call it my wagon. This drives my husband nuts. “It’s a CART!” 😂 Whatever. I love my wagon.

I am leaving this product review to put anyone at rest if they are on the fence about buying this product. I debated several weeks about buying this after reading numerous reviews about being smelly, hard to assemble and cheaply made. 1-this thing is a beast. Well built, sturdy, easy to move across different terrains and yes EASY TO ASSEMBLE. 2- you don't need to buy different hardware. Hardware supplied works just fine! Now, I am what I would consider to have average to below average mechanical skills. IE: I would generally pay a hardware store to assemble this for me. But the price was attractive to me that the local Lowe's wanted $119 for a comparable model. Tools I used. Electric battery operated drill/screw driver. 1 regular screw driver Needle nose pliers Large pliers Power extension 3/8" drive 11/16" socket for handle 1/2" socket for all others I started by separating all pieces and left the hardware in the container. You simply start with #1 and work your way thru the pack. Then I loosely put all pieces together. Screwed all pieces hand tight, not wheels or handle. Next i took my electric drill, attached the power extension, 1/2" socket and put that out the nut end. Holding the screw with the regular screw driver, I tightened the nut. Easy as that. Now the wheels (see photos). Put on washer, then wheel, put the pin in and bent back each end of the pin. Put the handle on and didn't have a socket big enough, so i simply used the large pliers and tightened. Assemble took 30 minutes from unpacking to being done. I am very pleased with this item and would highly encourage purchasing! Oh and smell... It did have a new tire smell but nothing over bearing.

Update: I wish I could change the stars to a 5, but it won't let me do this!! The seller rectified the issue within a good timeline. I have had this several months and I can't rave enough about this wagon to everyone I meet. It has actually gone down $4 since I got it last year. The wagon is lightweight to pull even when it has a load in it. This was important to me. It has 0 degree turning which is amazing and the back lift is fantastic when I mix up dirt, back it up to the garden, easily lift the handle and dump the load. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this wagon!! I bought the 'no-flat wheels' separately and have them on hand if something happens to these air tires. This wagon is a good size and holds 2 large full garbage bags and tools which is awesome when I'm doing leaves or fixing up around the yard. I see my neighbour has the smaller one down the road, but it only makes me happier with my purchase of the bigger one. If there was one thing I wish was better would be what others have mentioned and this is with the backing up issue. I wish there was something that would allow the wagon to back up better without trial and error. This is a minor issue for me but I can see how this would be a bigger problem for people hooking it to a mower and wanting to back up with it- it won't do this! But, by hand, you can try and go back and forth till you get it where you want it. At least the zero degree turn helps getting out of those tricky places when using it by hand. I just put the gorilla cart 6.0 together. The instructions were clear and all the screws and bolts are labelled accordingly. It is possible for one person to put this together but 2 people makes the job easier. You’ll need a socket wrench and pliers. Pros: it’s bigger than I thought and it turns amazingly easy. It does hold a lot of weight. Not sure about the 1200 pounds, but I can comfort that it easily holds 3 bags of dirt. It pulls as easy as any other wagon. I wouldn’t say it’s easier to pull and of course it is heavier depending on the load. The dumping mechanism is a gem and it works with ease. Cons: it needs some sort of wheel locking mechanism. Even on the slightest unlevel ground, this cart will roll away. This cart was very expensive (more than twice as much) compared to the smaller 4.0 version. For the price I would expect every piece be in good working condition, which it doesn’t (see below). Reason I gave it a 2-star: I bought the larger cart specifically because of the “easy” rotating handle. However, our handle arrived damaged and won’t perform this function. I need this function!! I have attached a picture and video of the problem and contacted the seller asking them to send a replacement handle piece which I hope they can. I will update this review regarding sellers return msg. Update: seller quickly responded and I'm waiting for an update regarding remedy. Will continue to update and hopefully adjust my rating.

Putting it together was pretty easy, If the screws would have been allen or bolts it would have been excellect. Been using it daily in my jard its amazing.

Excelente producto, buena calidad de materiales, fácil de armar, se resistente y su mango se ajusta para usarlo manual o bien con tu tractor de jardín, definitivamente compraría otro.

A great product in every way. I have been using it for a year and I don’t know what I ever did without it. I’m getting too old to lug bags of soil through my garden and this does the job! I love that when I’m finished working for the day (and can barely move cause I never know when to quit) it carries all of my tools, weeds, cuttings etc back to the garage in one trip! As stated, the bin is plastic so I’m not foolish when loading it up, but it carries quite a bit of weight. It maneuvers like a dream, the wheels are sturdy and work well even in the mud and it dumps easily. My husband assembled it without too much swearing so it must have been easy enough. I Love everything about it!!

Very nice bit of kit! I was in the market for a wheel barrow to minimise damage rather than walking shovel by shovel with 2 tonnes of chippings across my lawn. Ended up going down a rabbit hole, I'm only a home user but I don't like buying 'cheap' and once I moved on from looking at cheap wheel barrows, some interesting carts hit the radar...after doing a little research I decided to give it a try. Wow, I'm glad I opted for the cart & this one specifically. I will admit the tray is a plastic rather than steel you'd get on a barrow, but I casually threw shovels of gravel into it no bother at all, but I imagine on a building site bricks/rubble being thrown in it as builders do there would be cause for concern, but as a home diy user & generally big bloke who has been known to break the unbreakable this is more than up to my needs. Pros of cart from my experience: Able to turn on the spot with no risk of falling over. Stable platform, can't be topled over by accident. 4 wheels spreads load, minimal damage to lawn. Big (air filled) rubber wheels monster trucks over obstacles nicely. No accidental tipping during transport. Rolls nicely with minimal arm fatigue when compared to lifting/wheeling/balancing a wheel barrow. Looks at home carting some trays of plants, holding some water buckets etc to wash the car on the weekend, or hauling mass loads of gravel. Cons: A more involved assembly process. Slightly more cumbersome to tip. Larger to store after the job. All in all, very pleased with this purchase and it's found itself being used in more mundane helpful tasks than a barrow would have been.
