Gorilla Carts 6 cu ft Poly Dump Cart vs SPECSTAR Mesh Steel Garden Cart

Buy the Gorilla Carts if you move soil, mulch or gravel and want to tip it out without shoveling. Its poly tub dumps on a quick-release pivot, the steel frame carries up to 1,200 lb, and four 13-inch pneumatic tires roll over turf and gravel. The SPECSTAR is the lighter, cheaper-feeling flatbed: a mesh steel box with removable sides that converts to a platform truck, rated up to 1,100 lb but with smaller wheels and no dump. Owners of both praise the tires and the handle; Gorilla owners report the poly tub holds up to sun and loads, while SPECSTAR owners note the mesh flexes and the tires arrive soft.

• Choose the Gorilla Carts if you haul loose material like soil, mulch or compost and want to dump it in one tip instead of scooping it out.
• Choose the SPECSTAR if you mostly move bagged goods, tools or boxes and want a cart that converts to a flat platform truck.
