Solid construction,

August 23, 2010

By DPLew

from Houston, TX

"The cart is well made, exactly as presented in the add. My 10 year old grandson helped me assemble it. Fortunately, they included one extra nut. I have used it to move several cords of wood from my trailer to the woodshed and no complaints except I wish they offered one with a motor."

Great log carrier and mover for large indoor loads,

June 2, 2010

By IndianaAnna

from North Central Indiana

"I put this together with the assistance of my niece as a Christmas gift for my husband. We love the amount of wood it can move from outside stacks to indoor storage. We can easily move the load up stairs, like a hand truck, and use a large box on the tines of the mover to keep the amount of log dirt down and out of the house. We have used it for one winter and it has withstood the wear and tear my 18 year old son can dish out when he is asked to bring in wood! Now that is a testimonial! If you use wood to help heat your home, this will get the job done in one fell swoop; I don't have time to fool around with small loads."

220 lb capacity Log Cart,

May 26, 2010

By JimPA

from Lancaster, PA

"This is a great cart for the money. My only criticism is that because the center of gravity is relatively high, a little wider wheel base would give it a little more stability. It seems to be well built and strong where it needs to be. It handles a large load of wood with ease."

Tired of lugging chopped logs 2 or 3 at a time??,

May 24, 2010

By RockinRobyn

from Wisconsin

"We have a very wooded lot, and are constantly cutting downed trees in a remote part of the property. To have to carry them all back to the campsite would be horrendous. This allows you to make short work of an otherwise back breaking job. Make sure and put air in the tires before you load it up !"

Major Wood-burner Review,

"I burn between 20 and 25 face cord every year in my masonry stove -- and have done so since about 1997. My background is historic preservation contracting and the particularly unique problems that come with adaptively using contemporary technology on historic properties.

I've used this cart for two seasons. I owned what I believe was the predecessor to this cart. This cart is a significant upgrade for less money than my previous cart. It is structurally sound and I've had no problem whatsoever hauling full loads. Steps would be easier to negotiate if the tires were bigger, but on the other hand, bigger tires would rise above the horizontal bars and might interfere with longer cuts of wood.

Unlike previous reviewers', my cart came without rust and was an easy assembly with power drill and drivers. Obviously, ratchets, sockets and wrenches will be less convenient, but hardly daunting.

The cart is sized for standard split-wood lengths of about 18". If your cuts are shorter, you might want to retrofit the horizontal load-bearing bars with a plywood support as another reviewer has, but I haven't found that necessary. Another reviewer indicated some "play" between the axle and frame when the cart is subjected to lateral stress. Given the quantity I haul, I find that the cart is sufficiently substantial to endure such minor stresses when fully loaded.

Maintenance: After two years, I notice that the washers and nuts have some pitted rust spots. I might replace them in another year perhaps. The plastic inserts that go into the open ends of the frame-pieces are cracked or missing -- hardly significant to the function of the cart. The wear on my previous cart occurred where the metal frame hit the ground -- rust developed and concrete wore it thin. After the season, I store this cart with the resting-portion of the frame off the ground to minimize any chance of rust -- very minor so far, but worthy of some attention before I store it. As I recall, one reviewer thought that galvanized steel is supposed to be rust-free. NOT. Galvanized steel is rust-inhibited with zinc, but in time, it will rust where it was nicked or worn. There IS some rust on the tire frame and the wheel housing that fits over the axle. That metal is not galvanized.

This cart is essential to managing my wood. I just recommended it to a relative and after checking its availability, was prompted to write this review. We can generally find fault with any item we buy . . . we wish it had this, or that. I have found that this cart, for the money, is more than adequate. With just a little attention to the small rust spots at the end of every season, it should last at least as long as the 8 - 10 years my previous, flimsier cart was used."

Log Cart To The Rescue,

"Just got the cart 12-9-09. Put it together in about an hour. It smells like it's fresh from the factory. No rust. Used it over the weekend at the cabin. I love it. My wood burner takes very large logs thus I have a large wood bin next to it. It would take me 5 or 6 trips to fill and afterwards, I'd be very tired. Now, I can fill the bin in less than 2 trips and not break a sweat. I go back for another load and now I have another portable wood bin in the next room. I took the advice of the other reviews and bolted on a 3/8" plywood base right away and I'm glad I did. The scraps fall on the base instead of the floor and I don't have to worry about a piece slipping through. Cart is very well balanced. I loaded it up and went through 10 inches of snow without a problem. Suggestion: If you make a base for it, mount it "under" the frame. You'll get a tad more clearance but more over, the scraps will be less likely to fall off."

Recommend with comments,

November 14, 2009

By Anonymous

from Branchburg, NJ

"Before buying I read all of the customer reviews and was glad I did. My need for the cart was to carry firewood from my outside quonset to my basement. I had to be able to easily fill and wheel it about fifty feet and walk it down 6 concrete steps. Here are my comments good and bad.

Rust and finish- The cart does come unfinished and is rusty in spots. Prime and paint prior to assembly. Enough high quality Rust-oleum paint will cost you about $15. The paint will get knicked up so attach a piece of quarter inch plywood (17.5" x 17.5") to the bottom of the stacking area. You will have to position the board and drill your own holes. Then cover the inside of the stacking area with a plastic runner by attaching using the front and back plate bolts.

Directions- These leave a lot to be desired. I assembled this myself without much difficulty. However, from the parts list (how many people know what a M6x40 bolt is?) to the assembly, should be rewritten. My kingdom for a good technical writer who writes directions! Study the diagram and rely on it more than the step-by-step. Hint: Read and remember the note "Do not completely tighten screws until the assembly is completed". Especially the eight bolts holding the back plate and the frame pieces.

Design- (1) Add a pair of 1" round heavy duty rubber leg pads to the bottom most part of the lower frame where it comes into contact with the ground, and your floor. Once again you will have to drill your own holes. Use the kind of pad that has a counter sunk center hole with 3/4 inch sheet metal screws. This will protect your floor as well as protect the cart from wear. (2)The way the wheels fit over the axle is sloppy. They wobble back-and-forth because of the play in the hub. A fitted bushing to tap over the axle would be much better. This is my biggest concern for longevity. Only time will tell. Add some grease to the axle before putting on the wheels.

Even with all of the extra work I did in modifications I would buy it again. Ninety five percent of my heat comes from my wood stove and I burn about three cords a year. It has reduced my handling of the wood by 75%."
