Tools and Hardware Reviews of Tricam GOR201B-T1 Gorilla Carts 600-Pounds Capacity Dumping Cart, Black
Customer Review: Love me some Gorilla Cart!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got the cart about 3 weeks ago. Have used it to haul 300lb loads of dirt/soil repeatedly - Would guess about 75-80 loads around my yard for landscaping. Simply attached it to the riding mower and pulled it around - my yard is very bumpy w/hills, rocks, roots, etc and no problem for the cart w/the pneumatic tires. Last week we pulled around three kids in the cart and went around the property - ages 6, 4 and 4. We love this cart. Some reviewers have said the bin is plastic and will eventually crack - well i've abused mine so far w/no damage...and if it does eventually crack, well the base is so solid i'll simply use that and build an even bigger cart out of 2 by's. Highly recommend this cart for hauling plants, dirt, wood, or even a load of kids!Customer Review: Great cart for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
This cart is great. Forget about 600lbs though. That is it's theoretical limit. However it easily holds 200 of dirt which is all you can fit in it without it spilling out. It is a real pain to put together though. The plastic tub is sturdy enough for home garden work and the frame is quite stout.
Note: The box was ripped open (I'm assuming during shipping) and the parts bag was missing. Amazon was extremely helpful in resolving the issue with the least hassle as was Tricam (the cart company).

This thing is still going strong and I have put it through pure h**l. Rocks, sand, dirt, sod, concrete. Ain't no stopping it. The dumping feature has been fantastic to have and has saved a lot of hassle.
Customer Review: does the job for under $100
Summary: 4 Stars
This cart has served us well. It's surprisingly strong for a cart that costs less than a hundred dollars. It was fairly easy to assemble and we used it to haul bags of dirt and a cord of split wood all over our yard. The dump feature is pretty handy.
I would have given it 5 stars, but the basket could be a litter wider and taller to make it a little more stable when carrying bulky items. I'm not sure one could possibly fit 600 lb of anything in the cart, but it takes decent sized stack of 16" split firewood. Also, the plastic bin smells the first couple of days, so let it off-gas outside if you can.
If you can afford a $200 cart, I'm sure there are better carts than this one. But this one's pretty good for the money.
Customer Review: Great cart for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed a pull cart for various tasks around the yard. This cart fit the bill for less than $100. When I saw the box, my first thought is that it might not be large enough; however, after assembly and using it for a few weeks, it has been very useful. In fact, if it were larger, I may not be able to pull it over the lawn (I have a very hilly yard). I've used it to mix soil and to pick up limbs, etc. The feature that allows it to be attached to a riding lawnmower is very useful, if you have a riding lawnmower. For the money, this is an excellent cart. Assembly takes 30 - 45 minutes and isn't difficult at all. The only problem is that you have to slam the cart down after you dump the contents to be sure that it latches properly.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.
