Allsop 29242 WheelEasy Folding Yard Cart by Allsop

The Allsop WheelEasy folding yard cart is the ideal product for yard work ranging from collecting weeds to spreading bark to moving boulders. More than just a wheelbarrow, this collapsible yard cart allows for easy, ground-level loading when the handles are dropped. This allows the user to rake, shovel or slide material into the canvas barrel. The WheelEasy makes it simple to replant a shrub, move a boulder, put out some bark or rake some leaves. Built from heavy-gauge steel and tough duralite-type canvas, this yard card carries up to 300 pounds. The folding yard cart features ergonomic handles and comes with Allsop's 1-year warranty.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
The instructions left a lot to be desired, and some adjustments had to be made to the metal parts in order for them to fit. I've since gone to the company website and looked at their customer reviews to discover that others have had the same experience. The ad for this cart says it can carry large rocks, but anyone using this item must bear in mind they will be deadlifting from near their feet, and that is rough on the elbows and back. I can haul several hundred pounds in a regular wheelbarrow, but couldn't balance this with 165 pounds in it. The next test was to put an automotive tire in it, but it wouldn't balance in the sling because of the narrow lower end. Next I put a large rock in the sling and decided it would either rip the fabric or my back before I got across the yard. If you want to rest the load while in transit, you cannot, the handles have to be lowered to the ground and to start up again, another deadlift. I laid it flat, filled it with dirt, and proceeded to lift, only to have the dirt slide to the lower end with some spilling out. I wanted this to work in a narrow space, but the handles were too wide, something I could not find information on when ordering. The only advantage I can see to this WheelEasy is that it can be hung on the wall. My husband says keep it, we may find a use for it yet. I give this a 1 because I think it is a good idea, but needs better engineering.
