Everyone Needs One of These!! October 18, 2008 phi2ok (OK) I had seen these utility carts used for years (over 20) at large marinas and thought they were so fabulous and handy! Well, I finally purchased one for camping as the sites I use are a distance from where you can park. Wow! I am very happy with my purchase! I had no problems assembling it and immediately put it to use. It is sturdy, strong and love the air tires! I had several people ask about it. The only question that arose was when we were stamping our name into the metal, oh yeah want to do that so your cart doesn't disappear, was a spring fell out on the floor. We couldn't figure out its purpose so we contacted the Tipke Manufacturing. They were great! The spring slides into the cart on the left side before you put in the handlebar, it allows the handlebar to spring out when you press the release button to open it. In most cases you will never completely remove the handlebars, so you won't notice it. I can't say enough great things about this cart! The cart will last for years, you may even need to add it to your Will! LOL Oh, and don't forget to purchase the bike trailer hitch for those energy saving trips to the store! Amazon provided great service and shipping!
Does not age well May 22, 2008 K. Kessler (Texas) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This cart was great at first, but it has not held up over time. The problem is one of the wheels keeps coming off! Because the cart needs to fold, it does not have an axle. Instead, a screw attaches the wheel to a fitting that, with use, has lost its grip. This fitting is not welded (it's a friction fit) and it is this cart's Achilles heel! My recommendation is, unless you really need the folding feature, buy a cart with an axle.
TIPKE Marine Folding Utility Cart December 22, 2007 Glenn A. Crump (Virginia) Bought it for a garden cart to replace the wheelbarrow that was 30 years old...love it and it takes up so little room when not in use. Although this item is a little expensive, believe that due to the construction material, it will last a lifetime. It's also nice to NOT have to fight the balancing act required when using a normal wheelbarrow. - GAC
GREAT! for carrying my dive equiptment to the water. September 17, 2007 John C Schober My wife and I went to Mackinac Island to dive and used this with my bike and it was great. Worth the money. It was easy to transprt in our truck since it folds up. Very durrable and works like a charm.
Beach Cart July 28, 2007 Patricia Setlik (Denver,CO) Very happy with cart for use to carry all belongings to the beach. The only issue was that it arrived without directions of any kind and it took a few minutes and tries to figure out how to fold and open it properly.
