​Brute Heavy-Duty Ergonomic 2-Shelf Utility Cart

This mobile work cart is solid, well-made and easy to assemble. It holds a lot of weight with no problem, even though it's light enough to pick up by hand (when empty!) and easily maneuver around if needed. Once it's all together it rolls easily - I didn't have the problem that some others had with it. The width of the cart is well-chosen, it's not too wide to easily fit alongside a garage wall, but it's wide enough to hold a lot of stuff. I've used it to do a front brake job on a car, and it held the brake rotors (heavy) and all the tools on the top shelf with no problem. And then the bottom shelf is like a "bonus room", and can hold the car jack, wheel chocks, etc. That way, I was able to work on one side of the car in the afternoon, just wheel the cart to its storage position along the wall, and wheel it back out the next morning to finish up. And the top shelf is at a good working height, so I was able to do all the work for the brake job on it, like cleaning the bracket, the guide pins, etc. The only thing I'd warn about is that the assembly instructions are printed on the box, rather than in an actual instruction sheet. Not that the assembly is difficult, it's pretty straightforward and mostly easy to follow from the diagrams. But they didn't clearly indicate where the swivel pair of caster wheels should go, so I put them on the end *away* from the handle. In retrospect I probably would've preferred them on the end where the handle is. Not like it can't be changed, but I'm just saying think about where you want the swiveling casters to go before screwing them in!

This is a good cart. Two shelves are better than three shelves for our use in a church kitchen. Easily put together, the cart takes 15 minutes to get up and running. There are about 26 screws required to install all eleven parts. You will find installation easier if you have a screw gun with a philips head bit. However, the two front wheels will probably require a hand screwdriver because of the locking mechanism getting in the way of a drill. No instructions came in the package. Be sure you put the swiveling wheels on the front--opposite the handle--rather than under the handle. Swirls are evident in the material from the molding process, but though they look rough, they feel smooth. The assembled cart is solid. You'll find it easy to push and capable of holding and carrying a lot.

I bought this cart to cart around a small selection of tools and supplies around the plant. It sure beats pushing around a heavy tool box. I keep some chemicals, rags, and a small bucket for trash on the bottom shelf. The top shelf is a good size. The width is perfect as some spaces are narrow and this cart seems to be the perfect size to squeeze through otherwise impassable areas. It comes with cheap casters. 2 swivel and 2 fixed. They are NOT ball bearing. Only a shaft through a plastic wheel. I replaced them with 4 swivel casters I picked up from the local hardware store which are ball bearing and it rolls much better now. The mounting plate hole pattern is a standard size so many after-market wheels will fit this cart just fine. The increased steering capability of 4 swivels can be a love-hate-love relationship; sometimes it doesn't want to steer straight, and then there are times it is able to maneuver in the tightest of spaces and I absolutely love that they all swivel. The handle sticks out so you wont kick the cart with your feet and provides a nice little catch-all bin for wire nuts, screws, etc. and there is also a pen holder which can accommodate several pens, markers, and utility knife. The handle is comfortable and at the right height for me - I'm 5'10" and I don't have to hunch over to hold it and my feet don't hit the cart or wheels. It seems very sturdy and I feel comfortable it will live up to it's weight capacity rating without any issues. Assembly was a breeze with a minimal amount of fasteners.

Worth every penny it costed me and couldn’t be happier. Great quality fit perfectly I love it. It’s actually my second same Rubbermaid cart I’ve purchased for my shop. My wife took over my first one for hauling the groceries up to the back door and for her gardening needs. These carts are well made and heavy duty.

This is a great cart. I keep my tools on the bottom shelf and us the top shelf as a work area. The short sides keep nuts and screws from dropping on the floor. It is easy to clean if the top shelf gets greasy or dirty. The bottom shelf is large enough to hold several power tools, a ratchet and socket set, and a tool bag full of various other tools I like to keep handy. It has made working on the lawn mower and tractor much less stressful having everything I need on a rolling cart with a work area to catch parts.

Quality of cart material is A+. Extremely sturdy, heavy duty, wheels large, and just a few parts. You definitely will need a rubber mallet and electric drill. I gave only 4 stars because the material of the screws is very soft, cheap, and screws strip very easily. If they'd upgrade screw material to a good solid metal, it would get 5 stars. They did not include directions, but luckily Amazon came through and sent me them. It matters, because it must be done in order to be done easily & properly. The downside is the placement of swivel wheels. They suggest back placement, where I found I needed front placement. I can't change it now because of the half-stripped screws. I don't have a handyman to help, so now I'm stuck with it this way. If screws weren't soft, I'd try to remove them. Just a disappointment for an otherwise really great cart.

Using for my power station and large golf cart batteries. It’s sturdy and easy to maneuver. Wheels are good for hard surfaces with little obstacles but won’t work in gravel or dirt IMO. Could easily be upgraded for larger wheels. Assembly was very easy and fast. I put a generator on the top rack and feels very secure. Total weight is close to 300lbs and it handles no problem.

Having a decent size shop cart was important as most are too skinny at 18" wide and made of light gauge sheet metal that will rust. This cart has two large shelves, a wide stance, and cannot tip over. I found that this plastic is even resistant to brake cleaner ( that will eat the paint off those metal carts ). It works great for potting up plants, too. The whole thing assembled in 15 minutes. Good product. Amazon shipping took only 5 days.

Pretty easy to assemble. The cart is much lighter then i expected while empty, but feels very sturdy when there is load on it, even when pushed to its limits(250lbs on each level). One thing to note, is it tells you to put the rotating wheels on the back of the cart. It gives you a bit more maneuverability and handling. Where i use this there are tight corners in to doorways that can make the cart awkward to maneuver through, and require me to lift the end without the rotating wheels to pivot the cart around a tight corner. this is really awkward to do trying to reach across the cart while you are halfway through a doorway. I switched the wheels so that the rotating wheel are on the front. This gives the benefit of having the side that needs to be lifted to pivot on my side of the cart. This also means you can use the big rugged handle to lift. The one issue I have is other departments around the office like to steal it instead of using their old lower quality carts. >.<

AWESOME CART

This trolly is all it’s cracked up to be. Reading allot of reviews that go back about a decade, users have praised the simple and strong design of this for a long time. I use this smallest size Brute to put my Bluetti AC-200 PL portable power station on. The Bluetti is rated with a weight of 62 ish pounds and this is no problem for this cart. With plenty of space left over, I fill up the rest of the cart with accessories and several large extension cords to make the whole unit portable and easy to move on one floor of my house. I’m kind of surprised these PPS companies don’t make similar carts with their branding as it’s really an excellent way of moving the heavy generators around on a single floor to get them positioned where you like, without breaking a sweat moving all this heavy stuff. Ideally, I wish I could budget the same system on each floor of my house including the basement that has the sump pump and other things. But, baby steps as it gets expensive for such a luxury of duplicate systems for convenience. The cart holds insane weight, is easy to assemble and for a flat surface, the casters are fine. There are upgraded casters one can purchase that are larger, have a more aggressive tread and some that are even pneumatic (tires that take air) which could be worthwhile if using this outside on a job site or uneven surfaces. The fittings I’ve read are pretty universal. But the wheels it comes with are fine for indoor use. The elevated handle is a good design so you need not hunch over pushing or pulling it. The resin material is so robust you can handle it without extreme care as it can take considerable rough play. There are several other brands out there like this, but I went with the original Rubbermaid as it has the strongest reputation of performance and longevity. Just pay attention to your use case as there are different sizes. This review is for the smallest. But for a bit more cash, you can get larger ones. The Klein Tools model almost had me. But as I stated, I went with the original and probably the best in this class. Very much recommended.

El carro llego completo y a tiempo. Las instrucciones son claras y viene con la cantidad exacta de ferreteria. Solo recomiendo usar un desarmador electrico o rotar turnos al momento de ensamblar, ya que los tornillos tienen mucha friccion con el plastico y se requiere de mucho esfuerzo para que queden bien asegurados. Pero una vez logrado, es bastante rigido. Lo usamos para mover contenedores de quimico y cubetas sin mayor esfuerzo.
