Gorilla yard carts haul dirt and mulch for home gardeners and lawn professionals. For loose material, a poly dump cart lets you tip the bed where you’re spreading the load, saving the work of shoveling it back out. Choose the bed size around the loads you actually move.
Gorilla Carts is Gorilla’s lawn, garden and outdoor cart line. Gorilla is part of Tricam Industries. Tricam is privately held and headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
Match the cart to the work
The 4-cu.-ft. poly garden dump cart is a practical starting point for tending beds and moving smaller batches around the yard. Measure your narrowest gate and leave yourself room to turn with a load.
Gorilla also offers a 5-cu.-ft. poly yard cart. Think about how you unload: setting out pots and bags is different from emptying loose soil. Choose the cart style around that part of the job.
For a whole yard’s worth of mulch, Gorilla offers a 12-cu.-ft. heavy-duty poly yard dump cart. More bed volume lets you carry more bulky material each trip, within the cart’s weight rating.
For tools, pots and bagged material you lift off individually, Gorilla’s steel utility carts come in 400-, 600- and 800-lb. capacities.
Choose volume and weight capacity together
Gorilla has heavier hauling covered with a 1,500-lb. heavy-duty poly yard dump cart. The poly range also includes 600-lb. garden dump carts and 1,200-lb. heavy-duty yard dump carts. Size your working load to what you can control along the route and unload at the other end.
Choosing by bed size alone is the mistake to avoid. Cubic feet tell you how much space you’ve got; pounds tell you the load rating. Wet dirt can get heavy while there’s still room in the bed. Match both ratings to your load.
Gorilla describes a quick-release dumping system for unloading a cart. With dense dirt, use smaller batches if lifting to dump becomes a struggle.
A 4-cu.-ft. poly garden dump cart is also offered with flat-free tires, a useful option when punctures are a concern along your hauling route. For assembly, Gorilla provides product guides and manuals; follow the manual for the particular cart.
Gorilla Carts carry a one-year warranty after purchase for the original owner, covering workmanship or material defects under normal use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight can a Gorilla poly dump cart hold?
Gorilla poly dump carts include a 600-lb. garden dump cart and heavy-duty dump carts rated for 800, 1,200 or 1,500 lb. That rating is a weight limit, not a promise that you can comfortably pull that much. A load you can move on level ground can be hard to control on a slope.
What size Gorilla yard cart do I need?
Gorilla poly yard carts come in 4.5-, 5-, 8- and 10-cu.-ft. sizes. For mulch, extra bed space can save trips; for heavy dirt, you may reach the weight limit before the bed is full. The useful size is the one you can handle through the tightest part of your route while loaded.
Is the 7-cubic-foot Gorilla yard cart a dump cart?
Gorilla offers a 7-cu.-ft. heavy-duty poly yard dump cart, so yes, there’s a dump version in that size. There’s also a 7-cu.-ft. Evolution poly yard cart. The bed volume alone doesn’t identify the dumping feature or the weight rating.
Does the 4-cubic-foot Gorilla garden dump cart come with flat-free tires?
A Gorilla 4-cu.-ft. poly garden dump cart is offered with flat-free tires. That’s a useful choice when punctures would interrupt your work, but the 4-cu.-ft. size alone doesn’t mean a cart has those tires.
