Best Garden Trolleys in the UK

Those who cherish portability and comfortability above all may really like the VonHaus Mesh Garden Cart. What differs it from traditional garden carts is its collapsible design that allows the trolley to be quickly unpacked and repacked at the end of the day. All you need to do is simply pull a toggle in the middle of the trolley's base and then attach a couple of velcro straps to get it ready to stow. And after you're done, the cart is easy to replace back in the weatherproof cover when not in use. The cover is included in the set, which is a great addition that can prevent the boot of your car from getting dirty. By the way, the trolley is compact enough to chuck in your car without it getting in the way of all the other stuff that you typically transport.

Once unfolded, the VonHaus offers plenty of space to accommodate different things for gardening or landscaping (debris, aggregates, and turf) as well as stuff for festivals (inflatable tents, sleeping bags, and the like). The cart does come with a solid flat base that reinforces it and supports oddly-shaped objects.

Not surprisingly, the maximum bearing capacity of this cart makes only 70 kilos. It is less than the competition but is plenty from a portable model. Plus, the cart comes with a set of sturdy rotatable wheels that prevent it from getting stuck in the ground.

If you're after a heavy-duty cart that would be able to handle just about any terrain and most type of loads, then you may get interested in PowerKing Garden Tipping Truck. As the name suggests, it's a super-powerful garden truck that can become a real king in your garden. It's made from high-quality materials and is fitted with four large wheels rather than one or two as most garden carts are. This makes it extra steady and ideal for users with some mobility issues. Moreover, it’s very convenient to load and unload with the minimum effort required from you. The plastic container tips nicely, allowing you to dump garden tools, stones, or logs by simply tipping the tub. So, it’s much more convenient to use and much easier on your joints compared to traditional wheelbarrows.

When it comes to bearing capacity, the cart is able to withstand 150 kilos, which is more than sufficient for light-to-medium gardening chores. And even when it's full, the truck remains sturdy and easy to manoeuvre. Fitted with a reliable swivel handle, it can be pushed, pulled, or towed.

The only slight drawback is that the cart comes disassembled and the instructions aren't very clear. However, if you're familiar with different types of bolts and what they are used for, we believe you'll have no problems with assembly.

All in all, if the lack of instructions doesn't seem such a big issue for you, the PowerKing Garden Tipping Truck can become your best garden assistant. Steady, reliable, and manoeuvrable, it's a good choice for transporting compost, potted plants, coal, tools, mulch, and similar stuff. Owing to its sturdy 4-wheel design, it’ll be particularly useful for people with mobility problems.

The LIFE CARVER Garden Cart is an absolutely cute little trolley that might be even too cute for garden waste or similar "dirty" jobs. The trolley has a sturdy steel frame with strong nylon fabric (red, blue, or black) over it. The fabric is durable and weatherproof, meaning a pouring rain won't be an issue for this cart. Muddy trails also won't be a problem since it comes equipped with 15-cm solid-plastic tires. The trolley has 4 wheels: 2 rotatable front wheels and 2 fixed rear wheels. This design makes the cart very agile and easy to manoeuvre around corners. The trolley rolls smoothly over ruts and stones with no risk of puncture or other damage. The only tiny issue with it is that it does tend to squeak a bit on rough terrains, but other than that, we didn't spot any flaws.

The LIFE CARVER Garden Cart features a collapsible design and can be neatly folded away into its own portable bag (included in the set) for safe storage in a utility room or a car boot. It opens and closes very easily. Once opened, it offers 90 x 50 x 100cm of space and 150 kg load capacity. Even when fully-loaded, it's easy to pull and push owing to hand draw. Additionally, the telescopic handle is adjustable in height to suit any user. All this make the LIFE CARVER Garden Cart a fabulous choice for festival glamping with your family. An absolute must on your festival checklist.

Don't want to clutter your garage or storage shed with bulky carts? Then we have a stellar offering for you - the Marko Tools Colorado 2 Wheel 150KG Wheelbarrow. As you've probably guessed, it's a wheelbarrow rather than a traditional plastic garden cart that has its benefits and drawbacks.

To begin with the benefits, the Marko Tools Colorado is made with a deep 80-litre tray that can hold up to 150 kilos, which brings it on par with typical carts in terms of capacity. What sets it apart is the all-steel construction with a galvanised tray that contributes to its greater longevity and makes it suitable for transporting pretty much all stuff including wet garden waste, fertilisers, as well as sharp objects like rubble, weeds, gravel, and timber.

Turning to the downsides, this barrow has only two wheels rather than four, which makes it a tad bit less stable compared to traditional carts. On the other hand, those who value flexibility and are in search of an agile thing will have no problems with it, as this cart is less likely to tip over and can go over just about any terrain, including sand and slopes, which extends its use far beyond gardening.

Need a superhero for serious tasks in your house, garden, warehouse, or farm? If so, the Pandamoto Heavy Duty Large Garden Trolley is worth your closer inspection. It's a real beast with an enormous 300-kg maximum bearing capacity that can handle nearly any task life throws at it. Made from steel mesh with a powder-coated finish, it's also very sturdy and corrosion-resistant.

Yet, the main perk of this cart lies in its unique construction - it's fitted with folding side panels, meaning you can just drop down any of the mesh panels to load and unload the cargo. Moreover, by opening all the sides at once, you can turn your trolley into a flatbed wagon for transportation of bulky and awkwardly-shaped objects like large limbs, long garden equipment, fence posts, and the like. And if you need to carry sand, dirt, loose gravel, soil, and anything similar, you can attach the heavy-duty plastic interior cover to the base and walls of the cart.

For your convenience, the cart is made with front-wheel steering and a D-style padded handle. As a nice touch, the handle is long enough to ensure you won't get your feet caught under the wheels. Speaking of which, the large pneumatic tyres make the trolley easy to roll and pull through any type of terrain and uneven surfaces.

Steady and easy to load/unload, this garden beast can help you handle just about any job. It can accommodate even the heftiest and oddly-shaped objects thanks to its heavy-duty construction and foldable side panels.
