Tools and Hardware Reviews of Tricam GOR201B-T1 Gorilla Carts 600-Pounds Capacity Dumping Cart, Black
Customer Review: Good garden tool for a big yard!
Summary: 5 Stars
This cart suits my needs very well. I had been looking for a two wheel wheelbarrow, but this was more stable and costs less.
I had it built in about 40 minutes. The instructions were clear and the bubble pack of screws and parts was seperated into the steps that you would need them. No sorting and laying bolts everywhere was needed. It took less than 30 minutes to assemble. The cotter pins that hold the wheels on were soft brass and a bobby pin would have been better. Replacement pins cost 25 cents each at the local Ace hardware.
The cart rolls easily, even over difficult terrain. So far, I have used it to move 10 40# bags of topsoil and 3 cubic yards of loose mulch. The dirt poured out easily, but the mulch was so light that I had to turn the cart completely over to get the last bits out. The dumping mechanism is very elegant and easy to operate.
The cart looks more like a toy wagon than a working tool, but I am very happy with it so far.
Customer Review: Good product for price

I am happy with the product however I am very disappointed with UPS. The box that it came in was thoroughly destroyed. the box was up on my font porch but one of the pieces had fallen out and was at the curb in front of my house. I went to the mailbox to pick up mail and found it lying there. Either Gorilla needs to pack their product better or UPS needs to not play football with the box.Customer Review: Good purchase!

I purchased this for my elderly father. It's very easy for him to pull and dump yard clippings.Customer Review: Gorilla Cart
Summary: 4 Stars
After doing a bit of research on the net, I found that a weakness of this cart was the small diameter washers used to hold the "tub" onto the frame. As expected, when the cart arrived, I received washers that were really too small for the plastic tub. I replaced these with 3/8" stainless steel washers during assembly.
We have had this cart for only a short period, but it assembled easily with decent illustrated instructions, and all of the hardware was blister packed and marked with a reference to the illustration in the instructions (as well as the instruction step where the parts were mentioned.) The cart is sturdy, and the wheels were definitely sturdy enough for medium duty yard hauling. The dump mechanism with the wheels moving forward to allow the weight of the payload to shift is a very intelligent design. I also have pulled this behind my lawn tractor with ease. Overall, and for the price, this is definitely worth the money. Also, the narrow tub allows the owner to easily manuever through a standard garden gate of 3 feet with ease. This is a plus for us.
I caution, however, this is NOT a cart to be used to haul concrete pieces, bricks, or other such material- the tub, while fairly stout, is not going to take that sort of abuse. To use this cart for hauling proiduct around the yard, placing and spreading sand or moving plants, it is great.

So far so good. Haven't really got much of a chance to use for yard work yet. I really like the sturdy wheel base. It seems to make sharp turns easily without tipping.
