Tools and Hardware Reviews of Tricam GOR201B-T1 Gorilla Carts 600-Pounds Capacity Dumping Cart, Black
Customer Review: I Love my Gorilla Cart!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Although I could have gotten this for about 20.00 less at a local store, I'd have had no way to get it home, so I ordered it from Amazon. Within days it was delivered to my door and a short time later it was out of the box and assembled without difficulty.
I do a lot of yard work, about 100 square feet worth of vegetable 'square foot gardening' as well as my large flower garden, and various improvement projects. I wanted some sort of wagon to help with hauling stepping stones, tree clippings, loads of freshly mixed planting soil and so on. This gorilla cart has been a fabulous work mate! It's sturdy and strong, the wheels roll easily over uneven ground, they turn on a dime for excellent maneuverability, and best of all is the dump feature!!
Oh how I love that dump feature! Just pull the leaver in front and lift up a bit on the bed. The back wheels fold inward allowing you to dump the load exactly where you want it. What a marvelous design! Why didn't someone think of that sooner?!
This cart has made yard work sooooo much easier! When I need to replant any of my many many large pots, I just carry them in the cart over to the potting table rather than in my arms.
Large bag of trash or yard clipping to go out? Save your back and just tote it in your cart just as easy as you please.
Putting in a new walkway with pavers? Unload the stones from your trunk into the cart and transport them to the yard easily with no sore muscles afterwards.
Don't scratch your arms all over while moving trimmed tree branches, just load them on your Gorilla Cart and haul them away.
I even use my cart to haul things from the house to the shed and vice-versa.
This cart has a 600 pound capacity, good sized tires that run easily over rough terrain, slick and easy dump ability, and for those who have a lawn tractor this carts handle converts to connect for towing. This is such a fabulous idea, it's tough, it's versatile, very functional, and fun! My Gorilla cart has quickly become my favorite yard tool! I Love It!
Customer Review: Impressed!

I'm very impressed with this for the price. I'm going to upload two pics, one is all the parts out of the box, the other shows how the bolts/nuts are packaged. The bolts are impressively packaged by step, so there's no guessing which bolts belong to which assembly step. Assembly is a one person job, but is not super easy. It took about 40 minutes for assembly. I took the recommendation of a previous reviewer and used a stiff putty knife, rather than flat-head screwdriver, to hold the bolt steady while tightening nuts. Definitely plan on using a socket wrench. I'm 6' with a long reach, and that really helped with one-person assembly. Everything lined up perfectly, which was nice. At my height I can pull the wagon fine, but any taller and it would be uncomfortable pulling for long distances. The pneumatic wheels are wonderful. The dumping mechanism works great, and locks down when you don't want to dump. The frame is an incredible value alone at this price, solid steel and very sturdy. You'll pretty much need a full tool kit to assemble, in total I used the following: 13mm socket wrench, adjustable crescent wrench, large phillips head, stiff putty knife or strong straight edge of some kind, pliers (for bending cotter pins). The wagon container is a bit shallow...I'm not sure how you would even fit 600 pounds into it, unless you were carrying gold bricks, but I used it to haul mulch around my yard and it worked great.Customer Review: Great cart for indoors and out.

I use this cart a lot more than I thought I would. I typically buy a lot of products at a nationwide wholesale club (Sams), and I use this cart to wheel all the food and etc in from the driveway to the kitchen. It works great.
I also posted a picture of us using the cart during an extensive shower repair, and it hauled broken concrete just fine.
I had my doubts about the dumping mechanism, but it works well. The back wheels "scoot" forward, and I was worried that they would not when I was using it on uneven terrain. But it works fine.
I have played with the reversible handle, but haven't actually used it. its an interesting design, the handle is on a pivot and spins. At the top you pull it by hand, remove 2 cotter pins and spin it 180 and it can be towed. Haven't actually used that feature.
The only thing I would add is something that kept the handle "up" because it falls too readily.
I have used this cart in more ways than the average person (hauling goods, construction, and gardening). And I can tell you that its really quite good. Maybe its not perfect for you, but it will be good enough for most people. Well worth the money.
Customer Review: Love this cart...
Summary: 5 Stars
or I will love this cart when the missing part comes. Actually, the strut wasn't missing, they just sent me 2 right hand struts instead of a right and left. I was able to get customer service on the line in just minutes and they're sending the part out. I was able to put the cart together, all but the missing strut and I can see that it's gong to fit my needs perfectly. It was a snap to put together. Didn't have any problem with the bolts that others had..used a 1/2" socket wrench and flat head screw driver..two screws called for a phillips head. Took about 20 minutes. The directions were clear and easy to follow. Just want that missing part.
I haul feed, harnesses, horse poop, buckets etc to and from the barn and this is perfect. It's not too heavy, which is why I bought a cart so I don't have to carry heavy things. I'm not sure I'll need the dump feature, but who knows, that may be my favorite feature. The price was right, too.
Update: Part came in within a week and we're up and running. It's holding up well, easy to maneuver though I had to "slime" the tires because we have so many thorns around here. The dump feature is really handy and saves my aching back.

Hello everyone,
I have been using Gorilla products for a while and I have to say they are REALLY good. I have Gorilla ladders that I have had for years and they are still like brand new. They get put through the ringer when I do projects and they can take it!! When I am done with my project I just dust it off and put it away for the next time. So that's why I purchased this cart, it's the multi-purpose cart for hauling basically anything. It can take a beating too, I use it for hauling metal, dirt, even groceries ha ha ha, and it works like a champ! One of the features I like the most is it's big inflatable rubber wheels, one day I was hauling a really good size amount of groceries into my condo, I had to get into the elevator and it had a bit of a step it was not even, I thought for sure I was going to be there huffing and puffing to get the cart over that step...let me tell you that does tires on that cart took the step like if it wasn't even there...right over it, that's when I said I'm loving this cart so I started treating it better hahahaha I even washed it and it looks brand new!! Thanks Gorilla keep up the good work!!
