Tipke 2100 Marine Fold-It Utility Cart

Light weight but sturdy. Flat bed with removable tailgate for long handled tools. Great for gardening. I have an older one--same model and newer one's much lighter so I suspect less aluminum is used and sheet metal is probably thinner but still a great cart.

This is a very well built cart. It is light weight and folds for convenient storage.

This is a brilliant cart. It's not the toughest of carts, but it's definitely tougher than you think. Its works great for the purpose, which is for me is photo and sometimes video shoots to haul around gear. It works really great in sand and over stairs which surprised me the first time I used one. The wheels dig into the soft sand and usually hits hard sand within a few inches, still giving the majority of the wheel out of the surface and simply cutting through the sand as you pull it. The design uses the good old fulcrum in physics to make the weight disappear and you will be amazed how much you can carry. AND it folds up into a really small space.. AMAZING!!

I needed a wheelbarrow that would easily store in my horse trailer, and yet could still haul a heavy load such as manure, hay bales, or saddles and tack. This does the job perfectly. It takes maybe 1 minute to unfold the cart and slide the handles into position. It folds and stores quickly. I used it to unload my trailer at the event which was a huge time saver. I was able to stack 3 bales of hay in it by removing the front gate, (2 bales side by side, and one on top) while keeping the rear gate attached. The front gate slides out vertically and is easy to remove. I bought the rear gate as an add on. Note-- the rear gate is NOT included in the basic cart price.I also hauled 3 buckets of water at a time with the cart, rather than carrying them by hand from the faucet at the barn at the event. I could have easily fit 6 buckets in the cart if I had needed to. It was not only very easy to haul water, but it kept me clean and was easy on my back - no sloshing and banging dirty buckets on my legs, and the cart doesnt tip and bang- very little water sloshed out of the buckets. The bicycle wheels roll easily over gravel, dirt, grass, etc...Stall cleaning is easy with the cart,only one trip to the dump bin with this, and it was easy to dump the manure- just slide the front gate out, and tip the cart up. And after dumping the manure, I washed out the inside of the cart with the extra water in the water buckets, and then refilled the buckets at the faucet- so easy. And the aluminum cart wont rust , it washed out very well- the manure came right off. just wipe down with a rag, and now the cart is ready to haul your tack.I also bought the bicycle attachment because my horse trailer was parked away from the event barn and I knew I might need to make trips back and forth. As long as the ground is not too hilly it works fine- I am doubtful it would work well up or down a hill of any steepness only because I tried it at home and on dirt, my bike tires tended to spin -- the cart was too heavy (for me) to pull with a bike without spinning my tires, and I am not heavy enough to put weight on the tires to get them to grip. On FLAT ground it was perfect- I made trips back and forth to the trailer and it was such a time saver. It had no problem on bumpy ground either, the arm attachment will swivel. It attached to the stem of my bike seat easily- But Id keep the tool handy in case it comes loose.I found the assembly to be easy and logical. All you really do is attach the wheels. I had no problem inflating the tires after putting them on the cart. It uses a regular bicycle hand pump. All you need is a screwdriver for assembly.I have tried other types of folding wheelbarrows or buckets with wheels, and they are all either too small, or too flimsy, take more space in the trailer or awkward to use. Folding cloth wheelbarrow- too small, hard to dump, and it gets really gross and dirty! the muck bucket on wheels- hard to dump and awkward to pull along, hard on my back, and not versatile and its bulky. If you are considering those-- dont bother-- this is worth every penny, and I dont know why I waited so long to buy one. I LOVE it.

I bought this because we recently got into competing with out rescued Lab in dock diving. We load up our Toyota Sienna or Highlander with anywhere from one to three people and 1 to 4 dogs. Space is at a premium, so I was looking for something that could carry a ton of stuff but fold up and not take up too much room in the car or under the EZ up. Also, it had to be easy to open and close, require no tools, be lightweight, easy to wheel around with one hand in case I am by myself with the dog in the other, and big enough to carry the dog kennel which is a hard plastic SkyKennel for a large dog. Believe it or not, this does the trick. When I first saw it in the driveway, I was skeptical to say the least since it looks too small. But once I started loading it up and wheeling it around,I was amazed. This is what a normal load looks like for me:EZ Up (10x10 I think), Outdoor Mat/Rug, Cooler, 2-3 Chairs,2-3 Full Tote Bags, 1-2 Folding Kennels, and the Sky KennelI can fit everything but I do have the put the Sky Kennel on top and bungee cord it to secure it in place. I would love to leave the Sky Kennel behind but my dog opens everything else.Sometimes the trip from the car to dogtown can be a real hike so this makes a huge difference in the set up and tear down process. And I am not worried about handling it all on my own if my family opts out of the fun. That is a big relief because I am totally addicted to the dockdogs.The down side is the price. There are a lot of cart/dollies/handtrucks out there and this was easily twice what most of them cost. I know I will get a lot of use out of it and it was something very important to me, so I went ahead and got it. If you need something like this and you will use it all the time, then you can't go wrong.
