Folding Utility Cart Features

Portable, back-saving benefits

(Back to the top)

Utility carts that you can fold and put away don't take up as much space as full-sized carts or wagons but they do just as reliable a job. If you have small children, you know how difficult it can be to get stuff done around the house or the yard. Keep your hands free for kids by using these fold out carts to move stuff around your house or yard.

Carrying heavy bags of dog food, seed, planting materials or other equipment from garage to yard can be bad for your back. Use heavy duty wagons to do the heavy work and then put them away - out of sight - when you're done.

These carts have so many uses and benefits:


  • Sides collapse, remove of fold in so that when not in use the cart takes up as little space as possible

  • Many have pneumatic wheels so that they roll over anything - gravel, grass, door jams, concrete or carpet

  • Rust proof rubber tires are long-lasting and operate quietly

  • Sturdy frames support a good amount of weight for multiple uses

Grocery or Garden Carts

How to Choose

(Back to the top)


Collapsible grocery carts are slightly different in shape than the wagon style folding carts used for outdoor and garden work. Each style serves a purpose and has their own benefits. How do you choose which is right for you?

Consider the following:

  • Will you store the cart in your car at any time?

  • What are the largest items you foresee having to transport?

  • What style handle will fit you best?

  • Do you need a covered cart or not?

  • What kind of lining, if any , will last longer based on your intended use?

  • How much interior capacity do you need?

Don't be surprised if, after you have one, you find yourself ordering a few more for other purposes or to give as gifts to family and friends. This is one of those things you don't realize how much you'll use it until you have it!

Happy Hauling!

Most people buy a folding utility cart with one use in mind and then find hundreds of other uses they hadn't imagined. The next time your spouse asks for help bringing in the groceries or your neighbor asks for help hauling in a load of wood, grab the cart!

    Really like your lense. Thinking to get one after showing this lense to my wife.

    I kept a folding cart in the car when I lived in an apartment building. It was great for carrying in groceries and other things without having to make several trips or breaking my back.

    I've tried to convince my wife to get one of these, but no success so far. I guess it's because we spread our shopping out over different times. Love your lens.

    This seems very helpful to me. How hard are they to move up and down stairs?
