There are so many choices, so many wheel differences. How do you figure out which to get? I live in an apartment and want to haul groceries.

I think you would need one of the very small sizes for hauling groceries. We use our R10 for totes full of supplies, piling on hundreds of pounds -- Way more than the average grocery trip, even if you're stocking a freezer! Also, when extended to the full length (around 5 or 6 feet), you might find it difficult to navigate corners. Hope this helps!

This is probably overkill for groceries. I would consider one of those basket carts, since weight isn't really much of a consideration. This is more heavy duty and can hold a lot of weight. Its an awesome cart I totally recommend it, but more for moving amps and equipment into clubs than groceries down a hallway. Though it does condense nicely, it still takes up a lot of space, especially if moving lighter items is your only need.

four wheels makes it easier for getting around, but think their are better options for carrying groceries.
1307124
for just hauling groceries I would recommend that you get the R2. The other ones are bigger and heavier than what you would need to just haul groceries.

I don't think this would be a good option for groceries, unless you buy in bulk and everything is in boxes. Bags would not stay on this well at all.

I have the 16" wheels which are fairly wide. For my purposes they work well, but I'm on fairly flat, stable ground. I think I would know better after moving wood from the pile to the house, after I have to deal with some snow and ice under my wheels. I have a different brand of cart (unknown) that has the skinny 20" wheels and tho' narrower that works well anytime, but the load is only about a third of the smart cart volume.I think I would ask the Smart Cart manufacturer what he recommends. They are very willing to talk to you and very "up-front" about everything. I have the 16" wheels which are fairly wide. For my purposes they work well, but I'm on fairly flat, stable ground.

It has a good balance between both, leaning towards just enough tackiness to keep most things from moving around. Groceries will still move a little bit. I've had mine for 2 years and have been super happy with it. It is a perfect fit as you'd expect.

No, sorry,but there are ones to fit it and other accessories, if I remember right. Since I don't need it often, I took the foot support off mine, and use it to transport things like groceries or baskets of clothes anywhere in the house. Easy, nothing to carry, and rolls so easily, even in and out of my garage.

I would buy the metal Melissa and Doug cart, then buy seperate groceries. It will last so much longer.

Get the 15". The tires are pretty big, so you will be farther from the ground than with smaller wheels.

I use my trailer to haul small building supply's . Lawn mowers and my tools from Ma. To N.H. . I've moved a couch on it. I,m going too haul wood for the winter soon . but so far it's been getting a work out . I wish I got 12" wheels instead of 8" wheels . My home in N.H. has a mix of sand and dirt with some bumps for a drive way . My drive way is 164 ft. To the road . I drive a 2.0 2 door KIA sportage 4x4 . small car but seems to handle what I tow so far , but winter will test all.

They come both ways. You just have to figure out which one you need and order the correct one.

I've actually had pretty good luck with mine. This is the second one I've owned. I ran the first one over while working on the truck so I can't say anything bad about it. I've owned the second one for two years now and get regular use out of it. Wheels are great and the tool holders are pretty nice as well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy the third after I run number two over!

A bit off topic, but you can get solid rubber wheelbarrow tires. The stock tires on your typical new wheelbarrow these days are pretty pathetic.

It depends on what you want out of your wheel, if you want the best grip possible you're gonna want a softer wheel and probably wider, if you want to learn how to slide and have medium grip you'll want harder wheels with rounded edges, kinda pike the ones that came with the board

Yes, but with ever thing in the case it is a little heavy. I would get the one on wheels. That is what I did.

This question is along the lines of "is Ford better they Chevy." Both are transportation - both get you where you want to go. In both situations, one being better than the other, is all dependent on your individual taste and wants. I would suggest you find a retailer for each machine and sample the features of each. In the end beauty remains in the eye of the beholder.

Depends: If the thing is like an old Whizzer, then get heavy duty tires for it. The powered wheel should have as aggressive a tread as you can afford. If it's an add-on motor that powers the front wheel by means of a friction wheel drive, get as thick a tread as possible: those add-on motors tend to eat tires for breakfast.

I bought this wagon to carry groceries up the elevator in our condo. We have been letting the tenant use it for over s year. She is moving out today & I can check out the wagon tonight. You can message me on Facebook if you want. Carmen Slater

Don't know of any limit per se, but I think Franciscan's comments are probably right. Whenever I've carried much more than a bag or two of groceries, the bike definitely handles differently. And if you do a lot of the kind of hauling like I do--carrying large, heavy items on the top of the basket (see my post on this)--you make the bike top-heavy and VERY prone to falling over (even tipping upwards!). If you are going to be carrying the kind of weight you are talking about on any kind of ongoing basis, my choice would be a two-wheeled bike cart/trailer. Both your bike and your Wald basket will thank you. Don't know of any limit per se, but I think Franciscan's comments are probably right.

Hi Tina! Thank you for your interest in Whitmor 6023-149 Rolling Utility Cart, White.
