How does the capacity of this compare to say a wheel barrow or garden cart?

I would say that it holds as much as a typical wheel barrow that would be used around the house, but a little shy as to a contractors wheel barrow. I love it because I fill it up and wheel it right into the house and park it beside the stove, and it goes up steps easier than a wheel barrow for sure. Hope this helped.....I love it!!

Surprisingly this holds quite a bit of wood. I think product description states 200lbs - and this is accurate. The best feature of this is its ability to deal with stairs. We use it to get wood from the back of the house up onto our deck for the winter. And once or twice a week we use it to get wood up into the house. We have stopped using a wheelbarrow to move wood around.

I think it is a lot easier to handle. We bring it inside & stack the wood next to the fireplace. My husband is very pleased with it & I can handle this well. Sometimes a wheel barrow & I don't agree. We stack up up the handle & get close to 20 pcs..depending on size of wood

It holds slightly less than a large sized wheel barrow. 13-17 logs, I would say.

Fully loaded, as much as a wheelbarrow and a heck of a lot easier to maneuver. I have a garden cart and it might hold a little more but is so much more difficult to get up the steps. Hope this helps.

I'd say about ten 6-8" logs (logs at the thickest part). The frame may hold the weight, the tires are of concern to me. They're cheap and stinky tires (we've had ours for over a year now and is pretty well aired, but get your nose close and you can still smell a creosote type smell). The wheel axel is a sloppy fit for the bearings. Wouldn't count on that big a haul if you're dealing with stairs.

The Landmann holds about 20-30 pieces of wood depending upon size. Since the wheel barrow or garden cart has a more "open top" style, I would say they would hold more, but for keeping the wood nice and orderly, the Landmann is a good choice. Depends on how you want to use it. Personally, I have a larger rack in my garage and I use the Landmann to transport wood from the outside pile to the rack. Then I use the Landmann to hold larger/heaver logs in the garage that I use as "overnighters". Hope this helps.

I assume you're referring to the Magna Cart Personal 150 lb Capacity Aluminum Folding Hand Truck , also sold on Amazon, and this one.This one is tubular steel tubing, and it's slightly heavier than the other cart, which is made of square aluminum tubes.

it is nice thick plastic. we got one of these wheel barrows for a 92 yr old man who keeps moving stuff in a wheel barrow that can pull him over! this one has been a real God send for him he can handle it and it helps keep him on his feet.

I forget the wt. capacity but the chair is amazing...I love it. Goes over indoor outdoor capet like a breeze, wheels work great, swivels great and the up/down is perfect. Excellent value!

Not real sure but this is handy, folds up & handle goes up. The base is not very wide so it does sort of limit what you can put on it but it can handle a load. Larger wheels would be great if you need to get up over curbs or something like that. Standard to me means one like I have in my garage that the wheels need air and it is cumbersome to store. This one I can fold up and throw in the trunk of my car or slide between the fridge and the kitchen counter. I like mine and use it all the time.

I truly cannot give you a qualified answer. I only use mine to haul gardening supplies, so probably don't even approach that weight. I gave my grandson one, which my daughter appropriates now and then. She says they have hauled rocks, firewood and a lot of different things in the country setting where they live, but again, I can't attest to the weight. I think the safest thing to do would be to just follow the recommendations given in the papers that came with it. Also, it might help to cut a piece of plywood to fit the bottom of the cart. This might help distribute the weight more evenly, and would avoid breaking the mesh if there was a heavy-stress point. I truly cannot give you a qualified answer.

This cart is the handiest thing! My wife uses it with a milk crate fastened to it using a bungee cord to transport her frozen food purchases to the freezer in the basement. We have a standard cart which is much larger and the tires are always needing air when we go to use it. However, the regular one will handle larger and heavier loads. Hope this helps!

I have 4 on a cart & pulled 160 lbs, and 1 on wheelbarrow for 100 lbs. I'm 69 and that's about all I wanted to handle in the yard. Could be a lot more on concrete.

If you are 100 lbs and can lift 40 pound bags, then loading them into the cart and pulling it over rough grounds will be easy for you because the tires are great for handling rough grounds. My dad is about your age and he likes the cart too. It's definitely easier than using a wheelbarrow. I hope that answers your question.

While the tub is fairly robust, I'd have to say the weight capacity is the flatbed ONLY. Remember that the entire cart is plastic, except for the screws and wheel axles. I've never come close to the 600lb. stated capacity...but I have moved some fairly heavy items with it, including some appliances. The tub portion is best mainly for tools, dirt, yard debris, and the like. Probably nothing more than what can reasonably fit in it.

Wheelbarrow...300lbs, dolly...300lbs, The extended dolly, Cylinder holder, Rock mover and plant mover are each 80lbs., Trailer mover 100lbs tongue weight and trailer weight 1,000lbs, bag holder...40lbs. I work mine pretty hard and I have used all the attachments. It is SOOO much better than a wheelbarrow except for the fact that the handles are low and I find pulling it is easier on my back and I am 5'5". I use this so much more than I really thot I would. Moving rocks and flower pots is SOO much easier and the fct that it doesn't tip is awesome for hauling any load. Hope this helps. Merry Christmas!!

A couple things - the cart is well built and the wheels can hold good weight; however, the bearing assembly is built into the wheel and the wheel is placed on an axle with a washer/nut holding the wheel on the axle. Unlike a car wheel bearing assembly - there is some play between the wheel bearing and the axle. If you are going to carry heavy loads or over rough terrain - I would believe the wheel inner hub with bearing would wear faster than normal. Otherwise, I feel the setup could last a good amount of time. Also, I would most certainly use some water proof fifth wheel grease to help keep it lubricated. Hope that helps.

There is certainly enough height clearance. Simply by looking at it one would think a wheel barrow would fit width wise but I couldn't be certain without measuring it. We have ours up on the legs not on the ground.

The four wheels are stronger, however, you can make tighter turns with the three, not as stable. I recommend the 4 wheeler, especially for my next cart...

it's heavy and big, so it's not easy to back up etc when loaded. I'm happy with it and can put up with maneuvering issues in exchange for the heavy duty aspect. I can load up lots of bags of soil, gravel, compost and get them to the back yard much easier than with a wheel barrow which was what I used before I got this. My only concern is the side panels, they don't seem as sturdy as the rest of the cart, seem like they could bend with enough pressure against them. but they do drop down and so far mine are fine. and the rest of the wagon is pretty well made.
