does this cart move easily when loaded with a hose on it? can an elderly person move it around the yard?

My short answer is yes. The tires are large enough in diameter that it rolls well in a straight direction. They do not caster or turn however so you have to sort of skid it sideways to make it change direction. This does increase difficulty in grass or other vegetation. Hope this helps.

It is pretty heavy duty. Wheels move easily on concrete but not sure about grass especially if there is an incline.

absolutely, I'm an elderly person with spinal disabilities, have a 100 foot hose on it and it's the greatest thing ever to wheel around. love it!

I would say it depends on the strength of the elderly person. We use it only in our barn on concrete, and it's easily moved, but still heavy. I'm sure it would be more difficult to move over grass.

Yes it's pretty easy to move. It might be more difficult if you fill the bottom with water or sand

I havent tried to move it on grass but it rolls effortlessly in parking lots and over rocks. The wheel size is about 2x2in and they glide independantly. My wifes a dJ and uses this everywherelEven on grass. This cart rocks!

I gave the cart to my daughter as a Christmas gift. She lives in a building with an elevaor, so I'm not sure that she takes steps often. Sorry, but I am unable to answer your question.

We haven't had any trouble moving it on various surfaces. We also use it to transport our cat from the parking lot into the vet's office. The cat moves around, so we just clip a bungee cord around the carrier to prevent it from tipping over and falling off. I use it for everything fairly small that I have to haul in and out of the house, up to 300 pounds. I consider this to be one of the best things I have ever bought for myself. Hope this answers your question!

It is awkward to move because it only has two wheels. However, if you simply lift up the back side, it does roll easily.

Mine has never moved while it REwinds only when you manually pull the hose out does the cart move to follow the outward force. I stopped mine from moving by shortening the length of hose between the faucet and the cart. As far as attaching it to s wall, No, I don't think that would be possible but you probably could attach it to a wood deck from the inside of the cart with some type of a metal strap wrapped around the inside housing since the bottom is open to the surface. Hopes this helps. I love my power carts and have two at each of my houses.

The handle is not necessary for the structure of the cart, but it makes moving it around much easier. N. Ray

I live on the beach in Panama City Beach. When on hard surfaces it is quite easy to push. I don't recommend overloading or putting a loaded cooler on it. Once you get to the soft sand, turn the cart around and pull it - that way it works quite nicely.Certainly beats hauling your stuff in your hands.

Hi Nanette. I haven't tried dragging the cart up stairs so I can't answer this. I will tell you that we use it to take supplies to and from our boat and the cart travels over a rough gravel parking lot and then down several LONG wooden docks to the Marina then down more docks to the boat slip. The wheels have held up fine so far. Karen

We have used the cart for 1 year. It is light and very easy to move. We have noticed no bending or warping of the frame. It is kept inside our garage.

It's relatively easy to move around. The case and the jack both come with lifting handles, and the wheels allow you to roll it around without picking it up once it's on a flat surface. It's not much more than lifting a heavy bag of groceries, a large bag of dog food, etc. Certainly lighter than the wheels you may be moving around if you use it!

I've had my cart for a long time and have moved objects heavier than 200 lbs., but potted plants my be a problem. Whenever I moved a heavy object, I've made sure that when I tipped it back and moved it forward I pulled back on the object itself and not the handle of the cart. Pulling back on the handle puts all the stress on the bottom angle. That's relatively easy to do with a piece of furniture. With a potted plant, you would need someone else to help tilt it. It's all a matter of technique, but certainly wouldn't want to do that kind of moving on a regular basis. All in all, this is the best portable cart I've ever owned. (I've owned about 4 or 5.)

I found it very easy to assemble. I'm a senior citizen Grandma -- it took me about 20 minutes to assemble by myself. I put rows of orange reflective tape along the tops of the legs, so I don't trip over them in the dark. I have it set at the minimum height of 27 inches. This is a fairly lightweight cart, wonderful for a small laptop or notebook like the 11-inch Samsung Chromebook I use it for. But it would not be strong enough to hold a laptop much bigger or heavier than that.

It will be able to do this quite easy. My wife fills the cart to overflowing with firewood and has no problem hauling it about. The large soft pneumatic tires make pulling it an easy task. I don't usually hand out praise easily, but here it is deserving. The "other" carts are no way near as well constructed as thing. I would say, can't miss.
