Gorilla Carts GORMP-12 Steel Dump Cart with Removable Sides and 2-In-1 Convertible Handle, 1,200-Pound Capacity, 39.5-Inch by 22-Inch Bed, Grey Finish

Out of the box a five. Shipping carton taped lid came apart at delivery one day early, all parts present. I was impressed with overall quality of the materials and pleasantly surprised by the taupe color of the cargo bed and rails. Took me about an hour to assemble after identifying parts and digesting instructions - quite easy work if followed with a socket ratchet wrench. Works well after assembly, has the sturdy tight feel lacking in my previous garden carts. As for the max load capacity, I do not plan to test the 1,200 Lb limit, half that will meet all of my yard needs. This being said, here are my pros and cons - keeping in mind that I am a self made household handyman - Pros - 1. Well designed for yard work, unique dumping feature (you do the lifting) 2. Plastic bed bottom liner, not mentioned in the product description 3. Front wheel assembly built for heavy garden tractor duty (most carts are not) and I am mindful of other comments about the weak tow bar and tilt over) 4. I did not experience the tire odor mentioned by others - noticeable with nose near the tire Cons - 1. Production flawed rear assembly struts (angles), both ends - axle and bed frame. A vice is needed 2. Hard to thread on rear wheel nuts - difficult forced start, after a few turns, seems to settle in OK 3. A bit small for general big yard (2.5 acres) duty, needs 8" longer bed, A larger Gorilla unit is available. Others might have taken off a star or two for these inconveniences, but the value far exceeds the faults and the wagon should perform well. I will update this review after a summer's work. Sealed wheel bearing failure was a common complaint of reviewers.

Fantastic work cart - well worth paying extra from the lower models to get the dump-truck capability. Solidly built and rolls great even over uneven terrain.

This cart has met all my expectations and is better than I could even imagine! Strong and sturdy and hauls nicely behind my John Deere riding lawnmower. Highly recommend this to anyone that needs to do some serious hauling

I read the negative reviews on this so I felt compelled to share my experience. The cart is very nice! Arrived neatly packed in the box, I had fun assembling this, took about 45mins but I'm mechanically inclined. It went together nicely with no issues. The assembly manual is clearly detailed with photos and they break-down each baby-step for you. The bolts come attached to a flat blister pack , and each set of bolts has the corresponding step number , so it's impossible to mix them up (granted you don't go off the sequence). Use a 10mm and 13mm socket wrench for most of the bolts. The cart is built well, sturdy and stabile and with a nice paint job. The oversized rubber tires are really great, very smooth travel going down curbs and stuff. The dump feature works well, and is worth the extra few dollars. Although I cannot verify the 1,200lb load capacity, for this price I would imagine it's fine for most tasks. We're pulling fire wood stacked-up above the sides , and I see no stress on the cart and it handles well. Would highly recommend to anyone researching these, great buy!

This cart is very good. Easy to assemble(at least for me). There is definitely things that could be better, but all the improvements would make the cart more expensive. Awesome product for the price you are paying. If you assemble and use correctly, it should last for a looooong time. The only problem was one piece missing, see picture(red circle). Fortunately I had a piece of steel exactly the size to build the piece missing. Also, in order to distribute the load, I added a couple of 3/4” wood “floor” on it, this way the load goes to the main frame instead of the screens. I recommend this cart. I am using the cart to keep an engine on top of it, it handle the load, easy. Need to put more pressure in the tires to make it easier to roll.
