1200 lb Poly Garden Dump Cart, 6 Cu Ft Wagon, Quick-Release

Gorilla Cart is amazing. I put it to the test today. I was laying stone for our parking space. I did roughly 60 full loads of stone. Even with it filled to full capacity it was easy to pull and super easy to dump. I am only 5'2 I'm on the smaller side and this made the job easy peezy. The plastic has some bend to it but that's what makes it easy to dump the last little bits of stone out of it. This is built tough, there are no scratches or cracks. It was simple to put together. It took me about a half hour to 45 minutes to assemble by myself. I figured if it held up under this project, it would be perfect for hauling dirt, manure, and plants for the garden. The price was great as well.

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.

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

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.

***Another Edit*** OK. It's working again and I am pretty happy with it still. I should have done this in the first place but the swivel joint was SO stuck that I couldn't move it AT ALL, and I thought I would need a new part, which is why I tried to contact support. But I turned it over to get access to that joint and soaked it with WD-40 just to see what would happen, and it started turning again. I moved the wheels around and let the WD-40 work its way into the joint and so far so good. You can also loosen that joint up a little bit as well. If it happens again I think I will loosen it up a bit and put some grease in there which should also help. So if anyone is reading this with the same problem, now you have your answer. HOWEVER ... Customer Support NEVER answered my request after trying multiple times and waiting well past 30 days now. ****EDIT**** I WAS happy with the Gorilla cart until the swivel joint attached to the two front wheels FROZE for no apparent reason! It's supposed to be able to handle 1200 pounds. I only have used it for cleaning out a horse stall and moving supplies like wood shavings from the car to the barn. There is NO WAY I could have put more than 1200 pounds on it. There is also NO WAY that I could have physically harmed the cart. I am a very small person. But all of the sudden about 4 weeks ago the joint attached to the front wheels quit moving almost completely. For awhile if I put some pressure on it, it would move in one direction, but that only lasted about a week. Now it is COMPLETELY frozen and I can't get it to swivel at all. Which means the only way I can turn the cart around is by dragging it by the handle until it's turned, or, lift the front and turn it around, which makes it almost completely unusable. I've asked for customer support and have waited 25 days without a reply. I checked their website and right n the front page this is displayed: "Due to current record demand and global supply chain delays, we are currently experiencing higher than anticipated customer service volume and we are actively working to get caught up with additional resources and appreciate your patience." That doesn't help me very much at all. AND after having it only about 6 months some of the hardware ... bolts and nuts ... have begun to rust. I keep it in the barn and out of the weather! ***Original Review*** I put my cart together today. I have a barn with horses and have been using a wheelbarrow for YEARS and I am tired of the struggle. I am anticipating this cart will make my life easier like how easy it was to take a bag of wood chips out to the barn. And being able to attach it to the lawn tractor is a bonus. The assembly was a little bit of a challenge for me being only 5'1". The assembly requires putting in the washer and bolt on one side and another washer and bolt on the other side. No matter how hard I tried, I could not hold the bolt and washer in place on the inside while screwing on the nut and washer on the bottom. It got very frustrating. However, I had a "light bulb" moment. I got some very strong packing tape; I put all of the bolts and washers on the inside of the plastic base and covered them with the tape. I was then able to screw the nut on the other side without the bolt and washer falling out (you're welcome). Also, one of the holes for the cotter pins wasn't straight and the pin would not go through. So I got out the drill and used a bit just a little bigger than the hole and drilled through, and then the pin fit. It's not a problem for me, but it may be for some people. I really like the way the hardware was packaged. I am very happy with it so far. As mentioned before I am a small person and one surprise was the inertia this cart can have. With its weight and easy-rolling tires if you go down an incline it can build up a little speed. It's enough if I'm not careful it could knock me over! LOL! However, it can just as easily provide an advantage which I will explore as I learn to use it. So far it makes moving heavy loads SO much easier. UPDATE: Used it this morning for the first load of manure. It's AWESOME! SO easy to pull. SO easy to dump. And SO easy to put back in place with the swivel on the front tires. This thing is built like a brick ****house! I love my Gorilla Cart!

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.

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.

This is awesome! It is solidly built and its way easier to tow about with heavier loads that manipluating a wheelbarrow. The dump feature is cool! (Not sure why I didnt get that sooner!) The parts are well organized by step in a blister-pak, and assembly is very straight-forward. It uses NyLoc nuts, which will stay put. It takes about 30~45 minutes to assemble and the instructions are simple, although I would - highly - recommend using a socket set and a large Phillips as opposed to Crescent wrenches (as shown) which would be monotonous! Anyway, I really like it and it will be easily more versatile than my wheelbarrow, both in terms of maneuverability, and load handling. (eg, your Back!) My only *potential* concern is the bed is a Poly construction, albeit fairly heavy-duty, so we shall see how that wears over time. The rest is solid Powder-coated Steel, and even the tires are nice. The handle is indeed reversablile so it could be towed. For me, hand pull is all I need, so I could bolt this in places, but it uses quick release pins to easily switch from tow mode to cushioned handle mode, and Ill probably leave it as is. Easy 4-12/stars, but what the heck, I'll round up to 5 as I do like this!

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.
