Tricam GOR2530 Gorilla Carts 1200-Pounds Capacity Dumping Cart

flat head bolts bad design
Received my gorilla cart in just a few days with super saver from amazon....awesome!! When I tried to use the flat head bolts to connect the rear wheels to the cart body I could not. The screwdriver kept stripping the head (which has minimal contract due to the flat rounded head design). I had to go to homedepot and get other bolts to fasten the body down. Hex heads, which you can grasp, vs the rounded flat head which just strips, especially with the lock washer nut. I used hex head with separate locking washer and nut, so I could put some torque on both ends. Other than that its a great product for the price....

Gorilla Cart Evaluation
The Gorilla Carts that I purchased were not as well designed or functional as hoped. Some of the componets were very cheaply manufactured and I expect them to have a short life expectancy. Overall I believe the cart will haul what it is advertised to do but the cart most likely will not have a long life span. We want to utilize the cart for a quick response with equipment loaded on it all the time. Tires and AXELS concern me!

A Wheelbarrow Alternative
Here is a well-intended product. Basically it provides the function of a Wheelbarrow with the ease-of-use of a wagon. With its large pnuematic tires, pulling the loaded cart over uneven terrain is a relative easy task, assuming of course that you're not pulling uphill. The handle is designed to accommodate a hitch found on garden tractors, so if there is need to pull uphill, a provision has been made. The cart arrives dissassembled but relatively simple instructions make assembly easy. I found an ommision in the instructions that didn't account for 2 brackets that were needed to strengthen the rear axle assembly. This could be a problem for someone who is not mechanically inclined and wouldn't realize the ommission had occured. The "Dumping" feature of the cart is accomplished by pulling on a release handle which disenganges the body of the cart from undercarriage. On my cart this feature is not functioning as positive as I would expect. I will probably improve it with modification. The actual dumpling of a light load (example: Mulch) is done by lifting the body of the cart and having it pivot about a rear pivot arm. The heavier the load that is to be dumped, the more difficult it is to lift the body. So if you are planning on hauling gravel you had better be strong enougn to lift the load.

Ditto the other comments
You have to wonder if the "manufacturer" is the least bit concerned about the customer. Improved instructions and shipping would pay dividends.

Good Product - Instructions are lacking
We have been doing some construction around our home and this model is just what I needed to move gravel, concrete & stone block.

The only gripe I have is that the instructions are not as clear as needed, especially when it comes to the two support bracket for the rear axle.
