Best Beach Cart Reviews 2021

Today, our first product comes from Wheeleez. This company has been around for 11 years, so it really knows what’s what, and enjoys a great deal of trust from customers. Wheeleez beach carts are some of the best on the market, being purposefully designed for the job, while also made to last you a long time. Wheeleez carts are all made in the USA with American materials.

When it comes to this product, in particular, you're looking at a really heavy duty beach cart. This cart comes equipped with high-end polyurethane wheels and a tubular steel frame, coated with epoxy fiber to ensure durability and resistance to rust. The entire cart weighs 18 pounds and has a capacity of 165 pounds. The cart is also foldable, so you can put it away more easily, and so it takes less space overall. The wheels are made to spread out the weight evenly when you're pushing over the sand, ensuring the cart won't sink.

Another thing you should also know is that the wheels detach too. This makes the cart even more convenient for storage. The cart comes with straps so you can buckle your cargo down. However, you much be careful with the wheels, as the axles can break if you handle the detaching incorrectly. Detaching them is pretty easy, but you need to make sure you’re handling them properly so you don’t damage it.

Here’s a short list of the product’s most prominent features.

• Tubular steel frame
• Epoxy finish
• Pneumatic wheels
• Foldable
• Adjustable handle
• Straps for cargo

In the end, what you’ve got here is a superb cart with great weight capacity and amazing wheels that do a great job handling that weight. Just be careful with the axles, though, as they have a tendency to break if mistreated.

If you though Wheeleez had been a long time in the business, then you should check out Rio Brands. Rio Brands has been around since 1947 – long enough to know what customers want. The company holds 17 patents now, and the list is always growing. Innovation is the company motto, and it’s constantly improving on old designs while making new, more efficient ones.

Rio Brands Deluxe cart is one of the more affordable products on the market, but don’t let its relatively low price fool you – this is an excellent cart, no doubt about it. This product has been made to last, and to haul. Its sturdy steel frame supports a highly durable mesh. The cart has stroller-type wheels – large and wide to facilitate rolling over sand. Despite simple looks, it can haul up to 100 pounds of cargo. On top of that, you can fit four beach chairs on it, and you have an umbrella holder on the side, with a tray and a rack at the bottom for a cooler.

To make things even more convenient, the cart is fully foldable. The stroller-type handle can be extended and features a neoprene grip so you can grab it more securely. There’s also a removable tote bag, and the mesh can be taken down in case you want to wash it. The only bad thing about the cart is that the wheels are plastic, so they tend to get worn when rolling over the pavement.

Here is a summary of the cart’s features:

• Foldable steel frame
• Removable mesh
• 100 pounds capacity
• Extendable handle
• Neoprene grip
• Umbrella holder and tote bag
• Bottom tray

All in all, Rio Brands Deluxe cart is one of the best low-cost products on the market. It’s quite versatile, very sturdy and can haul a decent load. We only wish the wheels weren’t plastic, as they wear down a lot from rolling over pavement.

Halfway through our list, and we arrive at Fish N Mate and their 143 Sr cart. This brand is a long-standing fishing equipment company, and its fishing carts are some of the best carts around. The company manufactures a wide variety of equipment, all of the best quality, which is why they’re so popular, especially among anglers. If you need a new rod, this is where you go, but you can also grab a few of their fishing carts and use them as beach carts if you really want to haul lots of stuff.

The 143 Sr is one of the best carts around if you really want to carry something heavy. The aluminum frame of the cart is strong enough to carry about 200 pounds of cargo. On that note, aluminum also doesn't rust, making this an ever better cart to take to the beach. It has big wheels with rubber tires that don't sink into the sand, which is of great convenience when you're hauling max capacity. The cart also comes with a wide range of accessories for outdoor recreation.

However, being primarily a fishing cart means it’s not particularly suited to carrying beach chairs. It also doesn't have a telescopic handle, so you can't fit it to your liking. The cart is also significantly heavier than the other carts on the list since it weighs almost 25 pounds. Even so, the sturdiness and carry capacity of this cart is unmatched, and the extra cash you'll pay is definitely worth it.

Here’s a summary of the product’s features.

• Rubber tires that prevent sinking
• Rust-resistant aluminum frame
• 200 pounds capacity
• Weighs 25 pounds
• Comes with accessories

If you’re looking for a really heavy-duty cart, this is the one. The Fish N Mate 143 Sr is one sturdy cart that doesn’t rust, and can carry up to 200 pounds, which allows you to bring all the stuff you want. It doesn’t have adjustable handles, as this is not a dedicated beach cart.

Reels on Wheels is one of the most prominent manufacturers, and makes some of the best fishing equipment, being the preferred brand by many people. It has an excellent selection of fishing/beach carts, of which we’ve selected the one we deemed best.

This cart is made of tubular aluminum, so it doesn’t rust when it comes into contact with salt water. The product is very lightweight too, considering a similar item weighed considerably more. Beach BUDDY weighs only 13 pounds, while its capacity is 100 pounds. Comparing to Fish-n-Mate, which is a cart of similar design, Beach BUDDY carries half the load, but is only one third of the weight.

To help distribute the weight, the pneumatic wheels are extra-wide. This width prevents the cart from sinking into sand when you’re pulling it over the beach. The cart is also fitted with a rod holder that holds up to three rods. BUDDY also features an adjustable handle, which is a piece of convenience you don’t have with the Fish-n-Mate.

Here’s a summary of this cart’s features:

• Weighs only 13 pounds
• Adjustable handle
• Pneumatic wheels
• 3-rod holder
• 100 pound capacity
• The cart requires assembly

All in all, BUDDY isn’t as heavy duty as it might look. Even so, it’s a good cart that can haul a nice bit of load, while remaining very light. It requires assembly, but it doesn’t take long to put it together, so it won’t be a hassle even if you’re not crafty with your hands.

Our last product comes from Mac Sports. Founded in 1993, this company started expanding quickly, becoming one of the dominant manufacturers of foldable furniture and equipment. The products are favored by customers over other similar alternatives because Mac Sports delivers the highest quality furniture at the most affordable prices. It constantly innovates and improves upon designs as a way of staying ahead of the competition.

The product we're presenting today is the Collapsible Outdoor Utility Wagon. While not a beach cart per se, this wagon is of great use for anyone looking for an affordable means of transporting stuff when you're outside. The wagon is incredibly versatile and can be used for pretty much anything and everything. The wagon can carry up to 150 pounds, which is pretty impressive and folds to be only 8 inches thick. It also has an adjustable handle.

This wagon features an aluminum frame, across which is spread Durable 600D fabric – a special fabric used in almost all Mac Sports products that is light but extremely strong. This cart also comes with its own carry case, which makes storing even more convenient.

Let’s summarize the great features of this wagon:

• Foldable
• Adjustable handle
• 150lb capacity
• Durable 600D Fabric
• 2 mesh cup holders
• Carry case

In the end, this is one of the most affordable products on our list, while being among the best. The cart is very durable thanks to its construction, and can carry a lot of weight. On top of that, it’s also foldable and compact when folded, so you can store it more easily.
