Bags and pots on a path
You want a steel mesh wagon for bags and pots on a path wide enough to store a 22.4 kg cart. The load line agrees with itself. It does not fold, and mesh needs a liner for loose soil.
Garden cart comparison 2026
The best garden carts, compared.
Top pick: MoverX 200 L folding wagon Best value: MoverX 70 L folding wagon – Best value at about £29.99: the highest value score among the rest, a stated 100 kg load, and 4.6 from 943 reviews. Updated October 2026.
A garden cart on amazon.co.uk is usually a four-wheel trolley you pull, so the wheels carry the load instead of your arms balancing a one-wheel barrow. UK shoppers also use the same browse node for folding fabric wagons and for light plastic garden caddies. Which? calls a four-wheel barrow a garden cart: more stable than a wheelbarrow, harder to turn, and hungry for space. A useful listing is one where the title and the specification table agree, the tyres match your ground, and you can pull and store the cart. HSE’s tool treats a load over the maker’s rating as unacceptable at work. How to read type, rating, and tyres is in the [garden cart buying guide](/hub/garden-tools/garden-cart/sub/garden-cart-buying-guide). Bags, pots, tools, and logs suit a cart.

The MoverX 200 L folding wagon is about £79.99, with 200 litres on the title, 150 kg on the specification table, and a cart weight of 11.6 kg. The star line is 4.8 from 1,248 ratings. Many of the written reviews say the buyer chose a 300 L version, so those stories are not evidence for this ASIN. The listing says assembly is not required and that it folds for a boot or garage. No brake is in the specification table. The bullet weight is 11 kg and the table weight is 11.6 kg. Wide all-terrain wheels are named, and they are not described as pneumatic. Buy it only if you accept that the review text is mixed with another size. Skip it if you wanted reviews that clearly describe this 200 L model.
Pros
- 4.8 from 1,248 ratings on the listing
- 150 kg on the specification table
- Folds, and assembly is not required
- 11.6 kg cart weight in the table
Cons
- Many written reviews describe a 300 L model
- Title says 200 litres and the table says 150 kg
- No brake is in the specification table
- Bullet weight and table weight do not match
Best for: You have checked that this ASIN is the 200 L wagon and you will not read the 300 L reviews as this cart.
Less suitable: You want review text that clearly belongs to this litre size, or a printed brake.

Common questions
What load is printed for this ASIN?
The title says 200 litres. The specification table says 150 kg. The bullet weight is 11 kg and the table weight is 11.6 kg.
Do you have to build it?
The listing says assembly is not required and that it folds for a boot or garage. No brake is in the specification table.

The listing score is 4.8 from 1,248 ratings. Many of the written reviews say the buyer chose the 300 L version, so those stories stay off this ASIN.
Our view
The Aptliton 200 L folding wagon is about £49.99, with a stated 150 kg load, 200 litres of 600D Oxford, brakes named on the solid off-road tyres, and a cart weight of 11.7 kg. The listing is 4.8 from 275 reviews. Of the 50 reviews read, size and wide wheels are the main praise. A review found the brake useful on a slope and stiff at first. The bullet says the fabric is removable, and one UK review says it is not and the buyer hosed it instead. Repeated limits are soft sand, a floor that sagged under a child, and a folded size larger than advertised. Assembly is not required. It suits bags and a modest garden haul when you want a named brake at this price, and it is a poor bed for rubble or for a child standing in the wagon.
Pros
- 150 kg and 200 litres printed together
- Brakes named on the tyres
- 4.8 from 275 amazon.co.uk reviews
- No assembly required
- about £49.99, under the steel mesh prices here
Cons
- One review says the fabric is not removable
- Soft sand and a sagging floor come up in reviews
- Folded size was larger than advertised for one buyer
- A cloth floor is the wrong bed for rubble
Best for: You want a folding wagon with a named brake for bags on firm ground.
Less suitable: You need a steel mesh bed, a proven beach wagon, or a cart a child can stand in.

Is the fabric removable?
The bullet says the 600 denier fabric is removable. One UK review says it is not detachable and was hosed instead.

Our view
The Gorilla Carts steel wagon, model GOR800B-COM, is about £69.99 with four 10 inch pneumatic tyres, removable mesh sides, and a cart weight of 22.4 kg. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.7 from 3,506 reviews, the largest count in this set. The title says 800 lb / 350 kg and the table says 362.9 kg, which is the same 800 lb claim rounded differently. Of the 50 reviews read, praise centres on the steel build and the tyres. Repeated limits are a bent panel on arrival, sides that bend under an uneven load, and mesh that needs a bag or a plate for loose soil. It does not fold, and no brake is printed. It is the top pick here when you want a steel mesh wagon with a large UK review sample and a load line that agrees with itself, provided you can store a 22.4 kg cart and you line the mesh for grit.
Pros
- 4.7 from 3,506 amazon.co.uk reviews
- 10 inch pneumatic tyres
- Removable sides, and a flatbed when they are off
- 350 kg and 362.9 kg are one 800 lb claim
- about £69.99, level with the other mid-price steel trolley
Cons
- 22.4 kg, and it does not fold into a boot
- A bent panel on arrival shows up in reviews
- Sides can bend under an uneven load
- Mesh needs a bag or a plate for loose soil
Best for: You want a steel mesh wagon for bags and pots on a path wide enough to store a 22.4 kg cart.
Less suitable: You need boot storage, a cloth fold, or a bed that holds loose soil with no liner.

What tyres does it have?
Four 10 inch pneumatic tyres. No brake is printed. Assembly is required.

The MoverX 250 kg mesh trolley is about £69.99, powder-coated steel, with 25 cm pneumatic wheels, a bed of 90.5 by 45 by 22 cm, and a cart weight of 17.4 kg. The listing prints one load figure, 250 kg, and names a tipping function plus drop-down sides. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.7 from 66 reviews. Of the 32 reviews read, most praise the wheels and the drop sides. A UK review says all four tyres arrived needing air and the instructions did not mention a pump. Repeated snags are a drilled axle hole, missing parts, and pneumatic tyres the buyer did not want. Assembly is required. It is the steel option in this set when you want a single kilogram figure and a named tip, and a weaker choice if you wanted solid tyres or a cart that arrives ready to roll.
Pros
- One stated load, 250 kg
- Drop-down sides and a tipping function in the bullet
- 25 cm pneumatic tyres
- 17.4 kg, lighter than the Gorilla cart
- 4.7 from 66 amazon.co.uk reviews
Cons
- All four tyres needed air in a UK review
- Missing parts and a drilled axle hole come up
- Some buyers did not want pneumatic tyres
- Only 66 reviews, against thousands on the Gorilla listing
Best for: You want a steel mesh trolley with one kilogram figure and a named tip at about £69.99.
Less suitable: You want solid tyres, a cart that arrives inflated, or a review sample in the thousands.

Our view
The MoverX 70 L folding wagon is listed at about £29.99 with a stated 100 kg load, about 70 litres of PVC-coated 600D fabric, and a cart weight of 4.95 kg. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 943 reviews in this capture. Reviewers who used it for shopping bags and a modest camping load are positive, while reviews that wanted a tent plus a full festival kit call it too small. Of the 50 reviews read, the repeated complaint is a handle that is too short for taller people, and one buyer wanted a storage bag that was not included. It folds and the listing says assembly is not required, which is the point if the boot is the store. No brake is printed. In this comparison it is the best value pick when you want a light cloth wagon for bags, provided you do not treat 100 kg and 70 litres as room for a full camping load.
Pros
- Folds, with no assembly printed
- About 4.95 kg, light enough to lift into a boot
- 100 kg and about 70 litres on one listing
- 4.6 from 943 amazon.co.uk reviews
- about £29.99, the lowest price in this set
Cons
- Handle is often too short for taller people
- Too small for a tent plus a full kit
- No brake is printed
- No storage bag in a review that wanted one
Best for: You want a light folding wagon for shopping bags or a modest garden load that has to live in the boot.
Less suitable: You need a steel mesh bed, a printed brake, or space for a full festival kit.

Will it take a full festival load?
Reviews that wanted a tent plus a full kit call it too small. Reviews for shopping bags and a modest camping load are positive. The stated ceiling is 100 kg.
What do the UK reviews repeat?
Of the 50 reviews read, festival use and easy folding are the main praise. The repeated complaint is a handle that is too short for taller people.
Our view
The Draper garden caddy, model 78643, is a moulded plastic body listed at about £36.26, 65 litres, and 2.5 kg, with 4.5 from 1,516 reviews. The specification table does not print a kilogram load or a wheel count. Reviews say you fit the wheels with split pins, and that the tool clip often will not click in. Buyers describe it for weeds and about one bag of compost, not for rubble. One buyer says it rolled away when used as a support. It is lighter than the steel wagons here, and it is not described as folding. Choose it when you want a light tub for garden waste you can lift. Skip it if you needed a printed kilogram rating or a cart that stays put on a slope.
Pros
- 2.5 kg, the lightest cart in this set
- 65 litre moulded plastic body
- 4.5 from 1,516 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Used in reviews for weeds and one compost bag
Cons
- No kilogram load is printed
- Wheels are fitted by the buyer with split pins
- The tool clip often will not click in
- It rolled away when one buyer used it as a support
Best for: You want a light plastic tub for weeds and a single bag of compost.
Less suitable: You need a stated kilogram rating, a brake, or a wagon for rubble.

Common questions
Does it have wheels?

How much can it carry?
The listing says 65 litres and 2.5 kg for the caddy. It does not print a kilogram load. Reviews use it for weeds and about one bag of compost, not for rubble.
What do the UK reviews repeat?
Of the 50 reviews read, the caddy is praised as light. The tool clip often will not click in, and split pins are fiddly. One buyer says it rolled away when used as a support.
Our view
The VIVOHOME mesh trolley is about £104.49, iron, 17.4 kg, with removable sides and pneumatic tyres the highlight lists at 25.4 cm. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.4 from 2,183 reviews. The title says 400 kg and the specification table says 1,100 pounds, which are not the same figure. The bullet says long-term heavy loading is not recommended, and the listing says the tyres are not fully inflated for transport. Of the 50 reviews read, many praise assembly and the fold-down sides. Repeated issues are a warped side, thin cotter pins, a missing bolt, and one cart that broke under a heavy load. The dimension line is printed as 10 by 110 by 50 cm. Use the lower of the two load figures if you buy it, and do not treat the star count as proof that 400 kg and 1,100 lb are one claim.
Pros
- 4.4 from 2,183 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Removable mesh sides
- Pneumatic tyres, 25.4 cm in the highlight
- 17.4 kg cart weight
Cons
- Title says 400 kg and the table says 1,100 lb
- The bullet says not to run a heavy load for the long term
- Tyres are not fully inflated for shipping
- Warped sides, thin cotter pins, and a break under a heavy load appear in reviews
Best for: You will use the lower printed load and you want a widely reviewed mesh trolley with fold-down sides.
Less suitable: You are buying the 400 kg title as if the table agreed, or you want the cart inflated on arrival.

The Tule Tuowu folding wagon is about £89.99, with a nylon cloth bed, a carbon steel frame, and a cart weight of 8.36 kg. The title says 500 lb, the table says 500 pounds, and a bullet says 226 kg, which is the same claim. The listing is 4.4 from 32 reviews. Of the 31 reviews read, folding and wide wheels are the praise. Repeated complaints are a weak handle lock, wheels that feel like hard plastic, and a soft base. One review says it rides high and can tip on a tight turn. Reviews describe fitting wheels, a handle, and a liner. A review title also says 200 kg and 70 litres, which is not a specification field. It is a folder whose printed pound and kilogram lines agree, and a weak choice if you needed a firm floor.
Pros
- 500 lb and 226 kg are the same claim
- Collapsible frame at 8.36 kg
- A brake is named in a bullet
- Wide wheels are praised in the short review set
Cons
- Soft fabric base, and a tip risk on a tight turn
- Wheels that feel like hard plastic in reviews
- Weak handle lock is a repeated complaint
- Only 32 reviews, and one review calls the bed about 70 litres
Best for: You want a folding nylon wagon whose load lines agree, for bags on firm ground.
Less suitable: You need a firm bed, rubber tyres you can confirm, or a large review sample.

Is there a hard floor?
The material is nylon cloth. Reviews call the base a fabric panel, not a solid bed, and one says it rides high and can tip on a tight turn.

The Portal 400 L folding wagon is about £72.99, with a stated 180 kg load, a polyester bed, a drop-down tailgate, foot brakes, and a cart weight of 12.7 kg. The listing is 4.3 from 23 reviews. Sixteen reviews are in the saved listing, and several are not in English. UK comments praise the size and split on sand. A UK review says the liner does not come out. German comments describe loose rear wheels. The listing says the collapsed wagon stores in a boot, garage, or campervan, and it does not print a folded measurement. Assembly is not required. Use it when you want a large cloth volume and a named foot brake, and treat the small mixed-language sample as a limit on how much those reviews can prove.
Pros
- 400 litres and 180 kg printed
- Drop-down tailgate for longer items
- Foot brakes named
- 12.7 kg, and no assembly required
Cons
- Only 23 reviews, and several are not in English
- Folded size is not printed
- A UK review says the liner does not come out
- Sand comments split, and loose rear wheels appear in German comments
Best for: You want a large folding volume and a named foot brake, and you will measure the boot yourself.
Less suitable: You need a printed folded size, a steel mesh bed, or a large English review sample.

The MOUNTALL mesh trolley is about £89.89, with a stated 350 kg load that matches the 770 lb bullet, 10 inch pneumatic tyres, removable sides, and a cart weight of 10.3 kg. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.2 from 120 reviews. Of the 42 reviews read, praise is for a sturdy pull on flat ground. Repeated complaints are rust at welds, parts missing, and wheels or an axle that failed under a heavy stone load. Reviews mention painted threads, missing bolts, and crushed hinge tubes during assembly. The table prints 100 by 56 by 51 cm and a bullet prints 97 by 51 by 56 cm. No liner is printed. It can be a lighter steel wagon than the Gorilla cart if the 10.3 kg figure holds, and it is a poor default if you will leave it outside or load stone without checking the axle.
Pros
- 350 kg and 770 lb match
- 10 inch pneumatic tyres
- Removable sides and a 180 degree handle
- 10.3 kg listed cart weight
Cons
- Rust at welds is a repeated review
- Missing bolts and crushed hinge tubes during assembly
- Wheels or an axle failed under a heavy stone load
- Table and bullet print different dimensions
Best for: You want a lighter listed steel wagon and you will assemble it carefully and keep it dry.
Less suitable: You will store it outdoors, or you need a cart with a cleaner assembly record in reviews.

The REDCAMP high-sided trolley is about £109.99, the dearest listing in this set, with 10 inch rubber wheels and detachable sides. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.0 from 12 reviews. The title says 800 lb, a bullet says 650 lb or 300 kg, the highlight says 360 kg, and the table says 650 pounds. Seven reviews are in the saved listing. Positive ones like the size compared with a wheelbarrow. Others report an axle or sides that failed, walls that fall off, and a handle fitted the wrong way. The table weight is 21.2 kg and a bullet says 19 kg. The highlight mentions a cart liner, and a question on the page is not answered yes or no in the file. It is a high-sided iron cart only if you can live with four different ceilings and a very small review sample.
Pros
- Detachable high sides
- 10 inch rubber wheels, front pair swivel
- A bed size of 102 by 51 by 38 cm in a bullet
Cons
- Four different load ceilings are printed
- Only 12 reviews, and failures of axle, sides, and walls appear
- Table weight and bullet weight do not match
- Whether a liner is included is not answered in the file
Best for: You have already reconciled the load lines and you want high sides more than a large review sample.
Less suitable: You want one agreed kilogram figure, or a cart with more than a handful of UK reviews.

Garden cart buying guide
Choose the job, then a rating the listing agrees on, then the bed and the tyres, then whether you can store the cart. Prices below are the amazon.co.uk shelf prices in this set. When a one-wheel barrow still wins is the subject of [wheelbarrow or garden cart](/hub/garden-tools/blog/wheelbarrow-vs-garden-cart).
What is a garden cart?
A garden cart on amazon.co.uk is usually a four-wheel garden trolley you pull, so the wheels carry the load instead of your arms balancing a one-wheel barrow. The same browse node also lists folding fabric wagons and light plastic garden caddies. Which? calls a four-wheel barrow a garden cart: more stable than a wheelbarrow, harder to turn, and hungry for space. Bags, pots, tools, and logs suit a cart.
Best for
- Home gardeners moving compost bags, pots, and prunings on a path wide enough for four wheels
- People who want one folding wagon for the garden and the boot, and accept a cloth bed
Not ideal for
- Allotment paths that are too narrow for four wheels, where a barrow still tips soil
- Anyone treating a printed kilogram claim as a load the listing has not agreed
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Buying the biggest kilogram claim
VIVOHOME prints 400 kg in the title and 1,100 pounds in the table. REDCAMP prints four ceilings. Use the lower figure when they clash. A load over the maker’s rating is the line HSE’s RAPP tool treats as unacceptable at work.
- 2
Putting soil in mesh or cloth with no liner
Mesh needs a liner or a board for grit, and a board for slabs. Cloth, often 600D, suits bags and tears on rubble. Most mesh carts in this set are not described as tipping.
- 3
Leaving tyres soft or steel outside
Inflate a pneumatic tyre to the number on the sidewall. Do not treat 30 psi as universal. VIVOHOME says its tyres are not fully inflated for shipping. MOUNTALL reviews report rust at welds.
What to weigh up
A rating the listing agrees on
HighThe first check is whether the title and the specification table print one load. Gorilla’s title says 800 lb / 350 kg and the table says 362.9 kg, which is the same 800 lb claim rounded differently. The MoverX mesh trolley prints one figure, 250 kg. The MoverX 70 L prints 100 kg and about 70 litres together. The Draper caddy prints 65 litres and no kilogram line. Use the lower figure when they clash.
Bed, tyres, and where it lives
HighMesh needs a liner or a board for grit and a board for slabs. Cloth, often 600D, suits bags and folds away, and it tears on rubble. The Draper 65 litre plastic body is for weeds and about one bag of compost. Aptliton names brakes on solid off-road tyres. Portal names foot brakes and a drop-down tailgate, and it does not print a folded size. Tule Tuowu’s bed is nylon cloth, and reviews call the base soft.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
A light wagon in the boot
You want a light folding wagon for shopping bags or a modest garden load that lives in the boot. The stated ceiling is 100 kg and about 70 litres. Reviews call it too small for a tent plus a full kit.
Weeds and one compost bag
You want a light plastic tub for weeds and a single bag of compost. It is 2.5 kg and 65 litres. No kilogram load is printed, and you fit the wheels yourself.
Common questions about garden carts
Which garden cart is the top pick in this set?
In this set the top pick is the Gorilla Carts steel wagon at about £69.99. It scores 93 out of 100. amazon.co.uk shows 4.7 from 3,506 reviews, the largest count here. The title says 800 lb / 350 kg and the table says 362.9 kg, which is the same 800 lb claim rounded differently. It has 10 inch pneumatic tyres and removable mesh sides. It weighs 22.4 kg, it does not fold, and no brake is printed. Mesh needs a bag or a plate for loose soil.
Which listing is the best value?
Best value is the MoverX 70 L folding wagon at about £29.99, the lowest price in this set. Its value block is 10 out of 10. The listing states 100 kg, about 70 litres, a cart weight of 4.95 kg, and no assembly. amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 943 reviews. Reviewers who used it for shopping bags and a modest camping load are positive. A tent plus a full kit is too small for it, and taller people often find the handle short.
How much does a garden cart cost?
Shelf prices in this set run from about £29.99 to £109.99. Under £50: the MoverX 70 L at about £29.99, the Draper caddy at about £36.26, and the Aptliton 200 L at about £49.99. About £70–£90 covers the Gorilla and the MoverX mesh trolley, both about £69.99, the Portal at about £72.99, the MoverX 200 L at about £79.99, the MOUNTALL at about £89.89, and the Tule Tuowu at about £89.99. The upper end is the VIVOHOME at about £104.49 and the REDCAMP at about £109.99.
When is a wheelbarrow the better tool?
A garden cart is a four-wheel trolley you pull, so the wheels carry the load. A wheelbarrow is usually one wheel, which you balance, and it tips. Bags, pots, tools, and logs suit a cart. Loose soil you still need to tip suits a wheelbarrow, unless the cart has a real liner and you accept that most mesh carts do not tip. Which? calls a four-wheel barrow a garden cart: more stable, harder to turn, and hungry for space. There is no single UK kilogram limit for either tool.
What if the title and the table disagree on the load?
Use the lower figure when the title and the specification table do not agree. The VIVOHOME title says 400 kg and the table says 1,100 pounds, which are not the same load, and the bullet says not to run a heavy load for the long term. REDCAMP prints 800 lb, 650 lb or 300 kg, 360 kg, and 650 pounds. HSE’s RAPP tool treats a load over the maker’s rating as unacceptable at work. That tool is for employers, not a garden licence.
Should the tyres be pneumatic?
Pneumatic tyres, often about 10 inches on the steel carts here, cushion gravel and can puncture. Solid or foam-filled tyres do not go flat and ride harder. Inflate a pneumatic tyre to the number on the sidewall. Do not treat 30 psi as universal. The VIVOHOME listing says its tyres are not fully inflated for shipping, and a MoverX mesh review says all four arrived needing air. A handle that turns the front axle is more predictable than loose swivel wheels.
Can a mesh or cloth cart take soil?
Mesh needs a liner or a board for grit, and a board for slabs. Cloth, often 600D, suits bags and folds away, and it tears on rubble. The Draper 65 litre plastic caddy is for light garden waste such as weeds and about one bag of compost, and it prints no kilogram rating. Do not buy the biggest kilogram claim, leave tyres soft, or leave steel outside and expect no rust. MOUNTALL reviews report rust at welds.
Will a garden cart fit in the boot?
The Gorilla cart is 22.4 kg and does not fold into a boot. The MoverX 70 L is 4.95 kg and does. Measure the gate. A cart you cannot pull when it is full is the wrong cart, even if the label is large. The Portal listing says the collapsed wagon stores in a boot and does not print a folded measurement. Many written reviews on the MoverX 200 L listing describe a 300 L model, so those stories are not evidence for that ASIN.
Our verdict
In this set the top pick is the Gorilla Carts steel wagon. It scores 93: 4.7 from 3,506 reviews, 10 inch pneumatic tyres, removable mesh sides, and a title of 800 lb / 350 kg that matches the table’s 362.9 kg as the same claim. It weighs 22.4 kg, it does not fold, and no brake is printed. Best value is the MoverX 70 L folding wagon at about £29.99, because its value block is 10, the highest among the rest, with a stated 100 kg load, about 70 litres, and 4.6 from 943 reviews. The repeated review complaint is a short handle, and it is too small for a tent plus a full kit. The Draper caddy scores 79 and takes no badge: 65 litres and 2.5 kg, with no kilogram load printed.
