- NOTE: On the title that is part of this video, I give the model number as "CGC-4" instead of the correct "GCG-4".
NOTE: I have added a short sequel to this video, where I describe the use of "No-Flat" tires on this cart.
In this video, I describe, assemble and comment on the features of the Gorilla Carts model GCG-4 "4 cubic foot Poly Dump Cart". After watching several different TH-cam videos in this cart and its differently sized siblings, I realized that there was still some information and details lacking in those which might well be of interest to prospective buyers.....so I included that information here.
One item that I think should be of significant interest is the great disparity between this cart's actual cubic foot capacity and the manufacturer's advertised capacity. I document the actual dimensions and calculate the actual capacity in terms that I presume would be most familiar and of greatest interest to most buyers. I feel that the manufacturer has chosen to use an interpretation of cubic volume that is unfamiliar and useless to most buyers, and thus is in a practical sense using a confusing specification that will be misunderstood. I don't think they are deliberately trying to mislead, rather I believe their marketing folks have decided to use the most impressive looking version of the specification at the expense of clarity to the average buyer. Regardless of how the specification is given, at the end of the day the prospective buyer should see these carts in person, and assembled, before deciding whether they hold enough to be useful, and if deemed to be too small, consider the same manufacturer's similar but larger models of the cart.
Thank you so much for this assembly video, my daughter bought one for me for Mother’s Day and I got stuck with step 3 as I was not sure which way the yellow plate was to go on! All finished and ready for yard work, did it all myself and I am 70 years old!
Thank you for going to the trouble of uploading this very precise instructional video. After I got through I said out loud, “God bless you…” ❤ Lots of widows and single women appreciate ya! ❤ I always say, “I’m gonna need chick instructions.” Well done. 🥳
Super helpful! Thanks!!
Thank you so much for making this video! You are an excellent teacher! You were very detailed and that was what I needed to feel confident.
Thank you so much! I put my cart together flawlessly with your walk-through. Your video was amazingly helpful! Thanks again!
Great video-Much better instruction than the Gorilla Cart assembly video they put out! Camera shots focused in on each portion of assembly. I was confused with tire assembly, but you gave a good shot of assembling them. Thanks!!
Thank you for this video. I was confused while trying to put mine together today. Very helpful.
Thanks so much for this review! It’s good to know the actual measurements since they don’t give them to you.
Thank you Youtuuba from Australia - I bought this model today. Great video - very much appreciated.
There's also a yardworks/gorilla cart version, think its older, trades a full metal pull handle and full metal dump pin lock release handle for lousier cotter pin wheel locks and a metal frame that doesn't extend as far.
My neighbor removed the handle bolt and replaced it with a hardened pin and lynch pin
excellent review and honest opinions which i love and great chance to evaluate a non paid adverts you get in other supplied items to other you tubers.
I watched your video before I removed the cart from the box. I found the calculation of the cubic feet interesting, so I needed to figure out what the heck was going on with that. I measured the box. It is 3.99 cubic feet. I guess that is why they can state it is 4 cubic feet. Very deceptive and sneaky.
That's a good question you asked.
Thanks for this. They actually have a really easy assembly set-up but with crappy instructions. My bolts wouldn't settle in to the recesses either and I thought I was doing something wrong. And their answer about the "heaping" is total BS. For this smaller casual use cart it may be fine but if I spent more money for the sturdier commercial models I'd be pissed if the specs weren't right.
Too bad they don't offer an option for the 13 inch wheel for the smaller poly cart making pulling a load even easier.
The "heaped" explanation makes sense but I agree the box and description should state it from the start.
Just bought one today. :)
Thank you for your in-depth analysis. I wonder if there is a way to add side walls to this smaller 4 cu ft model. The bigger 7 cu ft model has built-in slots for creating side walls, which would increase the heaping capability. Have a great day.
can you pivot the front axle 180°, with the handle under the bed, and hang it on a wall?
