At a Glance: Our Top Picks for Best 4 Wheel Trolley Carts 2021
TecTake Heavy duty wheelbarrow garden trolley
Another impressive feature of the cart is its extreme versatility. The side panels can be folded down or completely removed to accommodate oversize items. Additionally, loading and unloading the trolley is hassle-free from either of the sides, which makes it ideal for gardening, camping, festivals, and commercial work.
The TecTake is your go-to cart if you are looking for an all-terrain trolley. Four big, pneumatic rubber tyres cherish off-road work and glide over gravel and stone surfaces. Nevertheless, the cart is also as good on grassy and muddy terrain, with the wheels having deep tracts to provide maximum traction.
It’s pretty easy to assemble the trolley with the well-detailed instruction manual, but it does take a considerate amount of time to get it up and running. You will also require a socket set and some spanners to tighten all the bolts for a sturdy structure. The tyres deflate over time, so having a pump will be really useful.
Pros:
- Robust construction.
- Large load capacity.
- Rugged tyres are suitable for all terrain.
Cons:
- Not suitable for transporting children.
BEAU JARDIN Garden Trolley Folding Wagon Push Cart
Made from Polyurethane (PU), the 20cm wide wheels are more rigid and durable than rubber wheels. The addition of ball bearings on the wheels offers better mobility and reduces noise to a bare minimum. Furthermore, the front wheels rotate 360 degrees improve the manoeuvrability of the trolley.
The BEAU JARDIN is endowed with several accessories for efficiency in transportation. At the front end, two extra drink bags allow you to store beverages and fragile items. The handles measure 80cm in length but can be adjusted and retracted to suit your height needs and there’s even a handle at both ends!
When unfolded, the sturdy steel frame construction measures 125x 50 x 80cm and easily folds to an 85 x 50 x 26cm size. Inserting the 600D polyester fabric reduces the loading area to 85 x 45 x 25cm, accommodating a maximum load of 80kgs. The entire structure weighs 13.5kg which makes it the lightest trolley on our list.
Pros:
- Adjustable wheels withstand multiple terrains
- Durable and easy to clean
- 2 types of braking system
Cons:
- Self-assembly required.
Draper Garden Tipper Cart
The tipper cart is more efficient than your typical wheelbarrow and makes light work of loads of up to 200kgs. It is constructed using a robust yet lightweight steel frame; four sturdy pneumatic wheels balance the 96 x 51 x 22 cm cart and can handle any terrain you throw at it.
The standout feature of this cart is the 75L tipping tub. The Draper cart is made from hardened plastic, the tub is UV resistant and easy to clean, while the tipping mechanism makes unloading heavy items a breeze in the park.
The ergonomic tubular steel handle takes the load weight off your shoulders, which makes steering pleasurable. Assembling the cart is quite tedious and requires a considerable degree of patience and expertise.
The manual is not as elaborate as the VonHaus one, with most parts not clearly labelled except for the screws and bolts. Moreover, you will require an assortment of tools to put together the cart, which, unfortunately, Draper doesn’t provide.
All in all, the Draper Garden Tipper Cart is a work of genius, and its performance is above board if you can weather the rather tiresome assembly process.
Pros:
- Tipper feature makes unloading faster
- Adjustable handle for greater comfort
Cons:
- The assembly is quite time-consuming
- The plastic tub cracks with time
VonHaus Mesh Garden Cart
The steel is powder-coated for increased sturdiness as well as keeps rusting and chipping at bay. It sits on four rugged pneumatic wheels which offer a lesser bumpy ride on uneven surfaces. The wheels lack ball bearings, so occasional greasing is necessary to keep it running smoothly.
A soft-touch handle makes it simple to pull the cart and negotiate sharp corners with ease and with a removable liner you can transport anything from giant logs to extra soil and hose it down afterwards.
It is worth noting, unlike the above trolleys, the VonHaus Mesh Garden Cart is pretty easy to assemble and rightly so deserves a spot on the best 4 wheel trolley carts.
Pros:
- Easy to clean.
- High max load capacity.
- 2-year warranty.
Cons:
- Check welding on the front axle as this can sometimes be weak.

It’s lightweight, and even your kids can move it around without much effort. The bottom of the cart is removable and reinforced to handle loads of up to 100kgs, whereas the crossbar sides provide additional side support so it can hold luggage without the sides collapsing.
On gently pulling the strap at the trolley’s bottom, the Coleman wagon easily folds down to a compact 18 × 40 × 77cm size in a matter of seconds for easy storage. A carry bag with a handle is provided to facilitate transportation with the wheels still functional in moving the cart around in the folded state.
You will absolutely enjoy using this trolley thanks to its telescopic handles, which are connected directly to the axle. This offers greater control of the trolley, especially in tight spaces and rugged terrain. The four robust wheels provide stability and easy manoeuvrability. As a bonus, stoppers on the swivel front wheels can be engaged to halt or slow the trolley on steep inclinations.
