Folding dolly or luggage cart/dolly

[CaptTom]

After three months we're pretty happy with this one.


Holds quite a lot of groceries for the amount of space it takes up. Wheels are big enough for off-road but not sure how well they'd work in soft sand. Folds up nicely. For under $40 we have no real complaints.

I wish the handle were longer, but I usually tow it with one of the straps so I don't have to stoop over when walking. I have this problem with all of these type of things; seems as if they make them only for use by people under 5' tall.

test your carts in soft sand with a garafon of water ( 5 gallon , aka 20 liters bottle) plus groceries to understand desired performance......

Listen to Zee, she knows her stuff.

Still, where I generally go, the only places I can anchor near soft sand don't have any supermarkets withing walking distance

something about bumpy dirt/cobblestone roads and 100pounds of food and supplies.

I glue the pins in with Crazy Glue when I get them. I use mine hard and they last for about 8 months, then I get another with a warranty, so I get one free when it wears out. They cost about $23US plus a couple of dollars for the warranty.

I've never had a bottom break. They're rated for 80 pounds.

To each his own.

the lil cute box cart is not usable for those of us who carry 100 pounds home from stores.
garafones of water break the bottom out.
i lost 2 of these things which are not usable for beach landings.the wheels need to be larger and thing uilt sturdier for proper cruising. could be good for marina use, light duty.
