Does this move through sand okay? I want to see if I can use it for the beach.

Personally, I have not tried using it in sand....only in snow and ice. Amazon has a few beach specific carts with bigger wheels: "Rio Beach Wonder Wheeler Wide Beach Cart" and Mini Folding Beach Cart by Wheeleez"Hope this helps.

This is a great lightweight handtruck for most surfaces... but loose beach sand, you definitely will be better off with wider balloon tires.

This works fine over a brick pathway, gravel driveway, and on cement and asphalt and even over dry dirt. Haven't used it on sand but for our California beaches, the best bet is fat balloon tires.

I've only used it on soil, both soft and compacted. It worked just fine in both. Never took it to the beach...sorry. It locates property pins really well; my primary use.

Quite frankly, I haven't had occasion to use it on sand but my husband and I both believe it would function very well. Maybe not as effortlessly as on solid ground but the large wheels and light weight would lend itself to being the type of cart you would want over sand. I love this cart! I hope this helps.

I think so, you have to keep it very wet though. The sand might be a problem.

No, it has not been used at the beach. I wonder if the weight of the cart contents might make the wheels difficult to maneuver in the sand, but I really have no idea how useful it would be in that situation.

Should be able to move it without too much difficulty. It depends how much water or sand you put in the base.

My husband has never used it on a beach. He's used it in desert, mountains, sagebrush terrain. We use it when camping. He thinks it would be effective in any terrain!

I haven't used it at the beach, but I have used it in really sandy conditions in NM. It's challenging to push through sand, but it's doable. It prob does better than other strollers because the wheels don't pivot, however I wouldn't try to go very far - it'd be exhausting. Wet, packed sand would be fine!

We used ours at the beach, if you can stake it down fairly well (not just in sand), it does pretty well.

I've never used it at the beach.but the winds we've had here in indiana make it move more.however we don't have a constant wind in one direction like on the beach.

It's ok on sand. I would suggest that you get a wagon with rubber tires if you go to the beach often. We ended up purchasing a beach utility wagon because we didn't feel that this wagon was the greatest at the beach. Otherwise, we love the wagon!

It does pretty well at sand.. The unit is very light.. We have an oreck but tend to use this instead

Have not used it on sand or at the beach, but I do know that it works great on grass and dirt roads! Hope this helps.

Probably not the best for sand. I think the wheels would just slide over the sand instead of rolling since they are plastic. Something with rubber type wheels might roll better since they can get some traction.

unfortunately it's not waterproof.... If you don't put water on it, it will be fine, but I would not recommend to bring it to beach.

Yes It performed well in loose sand. The only thing you need to be careful about is if it sinks then it may require a little more ump to lift it for the next step. My husband had no difficulty.

Sadly it is not, sand can get in pretty easily if you spend a lot of time on the beach etc
