On what basis should you choose your beach cart?
Let’s not forget the nature of the terrain when choosing your cart. The beach can be a pleasant place but when you have to roll a few things on it, it quickly becomes complicated. For this, the choice of its beach cart depends on specific characteristics that will allow an optimization of its use on uneven ground. We have established a non-exhaustive list of points to check before ordering your trolley so that the transport of the cooler and children’s belongings does not become hell.
The mobility of the cart: If there is one thing that is not very easy to do, it is to move in the sand. It is also the same for a trolley, so be sure to choose wheels suitable for soft ground. The solution is a wide, notched wheel that will improve rolling in the sand. It should be noted that not all beach trolleys are equipped with wide wheels so it is preferable not to go on a model with a fine wheel that may not move forward once in the soft sand.
Load capacity: One of the differences that can be found between models is the maximum load supported. This is due to the more or less resistant metallic material and also the canvas that is used for the finish of the cart.
Note that a good beach cart can have a load capacity of around 80 kilos. Of course, we will not charge as much because, afterward, you have to think about pulling the whole thing onto the beach.
The ergonomics of the beach cart: this is an important point, especially if we take into account that the cart itself takes up space in the car. Therefore, there are models that fold and unfold to save space in the trunk. Ergonomics is also the telescopic and articulated handle that allows the cart to be pulled effortlessly. There are then interesting options on some models, such as the drink holder or outside pockets on the trolley to store a book, charger, etc.
The weight of the cart: It should be taken into account that the effort to pull the device will be harder for a heavy cart, even when empty. However, it takes at least 10 kilos for a reliable and durable product. The problem is that a trolley that is too light suggests that the materials will not be resistant over time. An average of 10 kilos is therefore reasonable for a resistant product capable of supporting a significant load.
