A folding utility cart can help you in many different ways. It will take some of the strain off of your body as you transport items from place to place. It is a convenient way to take supplies to the beach or on a picnic and it can used to go camping and carry your tent and other supplies. They can also be used to carry groceries, laundry, shopping bags and lawn supplies to name a few.
There are some great canvas folding utility carts that come in bright colors, resemble a large wagon and will make any trip to the beach or to a picnic much easier. They are very portable and sturdy enough to transport two kids in them. Or you can throw in beach towels, beach chairs and coolers and be supplied for a long day of fun in the sun without hurting your back, shoulders or arms in the process. These are lightweight and typically can support approximately one hundred and fifty pounds. The wheels are sturdy enough to go over sand and you might want to look for one that has built in support poles that will support a canopy especially if food and drinks will be sitting in the hot sun all day. Or if you are transporting your children in them, you will not have to worry about them getting too much sun.
There are also folding utility carts that are called a platform cart. They are good for smaller loads but that does not mean they cannot carry a heavy load. Most of these types of carts can support up to about three hundred pounds. They usually have a steel deck and that makes them very strong and durable. The wheels will roll smoothly over just about any surface and most of them have vinyl bumpers that save the walls and doorways from nicks and bumps.
In addition to canvas folding utility carts there are many on the market that are constructed of lightweight aluminum and zinc plated steel. These are usually rust resistant. They have larger wheels and are ideal for transporting items like topsoil, firewood, mulch and boating and camping equipment. Some include a front panel that lifts out and this makes for easy loading and emptying. These carts are stable and easy to maneuver. When not in use, they fold and you can hang them in a closet or on a garage wall.
A folding utility cart need not be restricted to wagon-type vehicles. Some people consider tall shelving (like you would find in a school or library) to be folding utility carts. They are on wheels, they are portable and they are used to transport items like books. Most come with three shelves and are often also used in medical offices.
A folding utility cart has countless uses and with just a little bit of research you are certain to find the one that works best for you.
