GVDV Steel Garden Cart with Liner vs SPECSTAR Mesh Steel Garden Cart

Both are steel mesh carts with removable sides and pneumatic tires, so the choice comes down to capacity and size. The SPECSTAR is the heavier-duty cart, rated higher and larger in load, and owners rate it slightly better. The GVDV is the more compact, better-documented cart with a 180° rotating handle and a liner included. Buy the SPECSTAR for big loads and the GVDV for tighter storage and a tidier bed.

  • Choose the GVDV if you want a compact cart with a liner included, a rotating handle, and a bed that stays cleaner for tools, pets or garden waste.
  • Choose the SPECSTAR if you haul heavy loads like soil, stone or firewood and want the higher weight rating and the larger mesh bed.

Questions and answers

Which cart holds more weight?
The SPECSTAR. It is rated at 880 lbs and listed up to 1,100 lbs, against 660 lbs for the GVDV. The maker still advises against long-term heavy loading.
Which is easier to maneuver in a small yard?
The GVDV. Its 180° rotating handle and more compact body make tight turns easier. The SPECSTAR has a fixed ergonomic handle and a wider bed.
Do both convert to a flatbed?
Yes. Both have removable mesh sides that fold down or detach, turning the cart into a platform truck for branches, posts and bags.
Is the SPECSTAR worth stepping up to over the GVDV?
If you move soil, stone or firewood regularly, yes. The extra capacity and larger bed matter. For light yard work and tighter storage, the GVDV is enough and comes with a liner.
How do the tires compare?
Both use pneumatic tires of about 10 inches that absorb shock on grass, sand and snow. SPECSTAR tires arrive partly deflated for shipping, so check pressure before first use.
Which do owners rate higher?
The SPECSTAR, at 4.5 from 990 ratings against 4.3 from 1,051 for the GVDV. The gap is small.
