Steel Mesh Deck Wagon

Outright clones of this cart, usually in a different color, are in all of the big-name hardware stores around town, and cost more. It's a well-made and handy cart for the price but the hauling capacity is clearly overstated according to our standards. As an example, an American factory's rating on a product might mean that ALL tested samples exceeded that figure by 50% before failure. Thus, for their 1000# rating, all samples tested made it to 1500# before failing. I'm guessing this is not how it's done in some other countries, where 1000# might mean that even one sample reached 1000# before breaking.

Anyway, we use this all the time to haul large unwieldy equipment, bags of mulch, sandbags, groups of large potted plants, etc. around our gardens and fields. Can't say I've ever put 400 pounds on it; 360 lbs. worth of sandbags clearly made it bend at the axles so I took a few off and it was OK. It saves my back, anyway, and is really good where a wheelbarrow or garden - way cart won't do because of their tilting.

Tips: tighten the nuts holding the hubs of the wheels together once in a while, and pull off all of the nuts on the frames and put in lock washers, as the nuts like to loosen over time as it trundles over rough ground.

[@] wants [$] for this same cart, out the door mine was [$] at Harbor Freight! The only thing I didn't like about this cart was it doesn't have the handle/tow bar option. No biggy because my wife has a Nursery Cart with one not being used as a tow bar that was a perfect swap out. This was perfect because I mounted my Preddator 420cc, 8750 Watts Max/7000 Watts Rated Portable Generator on top of it so I can tow it from my shed to the garage. I get another Win and Harbor Freight has a satisfied customer.

My 76 year old parents bought this an use it to haul groceries from their vehicle all the way into the kitchen. When they harvested their vegetables they were able to put baskets on it and pull it into the house for canning. I stood on it to hang halloween decorations. The grandkids and great grandkids ride around on it. Dad moved tools and his table saw using it. Has a ton of great uses. Well worth the money for everyday use.

Bought to put the solar panal kit, batter and charger on. Bolted the frame of solar panel kit to cart, cut wood frame to spread out weight of battery. Very easy to get in and out. Only thing to put together was put on wheels and handle. So far very pleased with purchace.

It's hard to get excited about a cart but it does what a cart like this should do, it is solidly made, and can handle heavy loads.





I've had mine for about a year and it has done everything I've asked it to do.

Need something to help take a load off your back ?


this wagon was my answer. I cut a pair of 2x4's 36" long and put a 1" board 24" long in the center of each 2x4 padded and this makes for a super sofa delivery outfit. easy to roll a sofa or chair to the door.


I have been using this wagon for sofa and big chair delivery's when needed for about 10 years now.

After 2 years of HEAVY abuse, here is my write-up. I will start with the bad, and finish with the awesome!

I bought this thing for one purpose, to haul car parts that I pulled from the u-pull it junkyards. First of all, this cart can i no way, shape, or form, pull the support the 1000 lbs it says it can... nor did I expect it to from the picture. The frame is made out of 3/4" or 1" angle iron, and flexes a ton. I tried to set a 5.0 engine/tranny combo on it once, had it centered as could be, and all 4 corners of the frame were resting upon the pneumatic tires. I never really expected it to hold though, I was just in a tight spot and ran out of options. The steering is rickety, and tough to control with heavy weight on it. The handle is a bit too short for me, I am 6 feet tall and have to bend a bit, nothing an extension didn't fix. In reality, you can expect to haul about 250-300lbs with the factory design of the wagon, slightly more with some carefully welded on slabs of steel.

And now the awesome. This cart has saved my butt dozens upon dozens of times when I had to lug out heavy steel bumpers for my demolition derby cars from the very back corner of the junk yard. 3 bumpers, my large tool kit, and the cart is about to implode, but it just keeps chugging along. The pneumatic tires roll over the uneven, rocky terrain of the junkyard like a boss. The deck meshing is wide enough to allow bungee strap hooks to be placed through, which helps secure cumbersome loads. I keep 10 or so straps hooked up at all times, and just slide my parts under them as needed. I wish the platform had slightly taller walls to help hold parts on, buy hey, for the price, you won't beat this little cart. It comes partially assembled, and within minutes of opening the box you will be rolling. After 2 years, my frame is tweeked, my steering components are buckling, but she should be good for another 2 years with a tack weld here and there. She has also been stored outside the entire 2 years, and there is not a spot of rust to be found. With a $2 an hour cart rental at the junkyard, this thing has paid for itself 3 times already. If you need a good light duty cart that is fairly easy to roll with a load, this is your guy. If you are looking to move 300+ pound loads around on a daily basis, this is not for you. Also, to refute what someone else has posted. I would agree that this wagon has the potential to tip, especially when you are making sharp turns on an uneven surface, but otherwise it is fairly sturdy, especially in a straight line.
