Tools and Hardware Reviews of Tricam GOR201B-T1 Gorilla Carts 600-Pounds Capacity Dumping Cart, Black
Customer Review: Gioacco
Summary: 4 Stars
I use this for light yardwork and raking leaves, etc., so it is perfect for my needs. The 4 wheel design is very stable over uneven ground and small rocks. With the "Dumping" feature, it is easier for me to use than a traditional 3-wheeled Wheelbarrow. About the 600 Lb. capacity... the plastic is a bit thinner than I had thought, and even if it was thicker, I seriously would not try to cart around more than 100 Lbs. in it; I think it would make the cart too unstable to move safely and would be difficult to dump out (the instructions state that for dumping use to limit cartloads to less than 250 Lbs.
I am very pleased with it, and hope my review will help others in their decision.
Customer Review: Good Deal
Summary: 4 Stars
This cart is great for small to medium loads pulled by a small to medium person. (Bottom line, if you're six feet tall and weigh 250 pounds, you'll look like a fool pulling this little guy around.) I've spent the summer hauling dirt and rocks from the driveway to the back yard. The cart dumps easily. It took some time but my husband said it was no problem to put together. I can't imagine how you would get 600 pounds of anything in such a small cart so that claim seems exaggerated but it's sturdy and MUCH easier to use than a wheelbarrow.Customer Review: Good but not great.
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this cart to haul various things behind my garden tractor. It is rated to carry 600lbs distributed evenly which it does quite well. However, the plastic "bin" used to contian the hauled items is very flimsy and flexes if not loaded carefully or stressed on a steep hill. It's not bad and the price is good but, if you want rugged, heavy duty hauling capacity, this isn't a good choice.Customer Review: Good cart
Summary: 4 Stars
The cart is just about perfect for what I needed. The capacity of the cart could be a little larger,(the frame could certainly support it), but it allows me to move materials around the yard easily. I especially like the convertible handle, allowing me to attach it to my riding mower. I think it was a great buy for the cost.Customer Review: Good cart for the money. Also available at Lowe's preassembled.
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this at the local Lowe's building supply store, and bought one that was preassembled rather than one that was in the box. (If you do this, you might want to check that all the bolts are tight.) It is sold under the name "Duraworx" Dumping Garden Cart, rather than "Gorilla Carts," but is manufactured by the same company, Tricam, and is essentially the same cart.
I used the cart for planting several very large Arbor Vitae. It will hold 200-300 lbs. of soil without problems, but more than that is probably not advisable or manageable.
My garage is also my woodworking shop and is crammed with equipment & tools, not to mention the car. So I like the fact that this cart is fairly compact, especially if you take the handle off, as I do, and hang the cart up on the garage wall. It is more stable than a wheelbarrow & uses less space when stored than a wheel barrow or 2-wheeled garden cart.
I think it is good value for the money.
