Review on Electric Powered Landworks Utility Cart For Hauling Material And Debris With 330Lbs Capacity by Katie Parker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

There is a battery voltage cut-out and batteries can limit performance

Sooooo, I live 75 feet above ocean and hauling my kayak up the hill was too much for this 69 year old body. So I bought this wheelbarrow, sawed it apart, and rebuilt it with a 17ft bed for my kayak - see picture. In general it works well, however, one wheel was warped as received - it doesn't affect operation so I have not pushed this with the manufacturer, and the batteries are not strong enough to power through loose sand or up the steep hill. What happens is the battery voltage drops so much that there is a cut-out that stops the motor. If I go slow I can avoid this problem since the current draw is lower and that is what I am doing successfully now. I am surprised at all the reviews about how great it does on hills - my kayak is only 60lbs and the batteries are too wimpy to keep the voltage up for my application at anything but a very slow speed so I am going to replace with bigger batteries when these wear-out. In general though it works great!Update - so I replaced the original batteries with bigger AGM batteries (outside the metal box as they won't fit) and this thing is now a beast! It goes through loose sand and straght-up steep hills at full speed. I have checked the motor at the end of the 70ft hill climb and it is not even warm.

Pros
  • The cart is designed to be low-maintenance, with sealed bearings and a corrosion-resistant frame
Cons
  • May not be able to handle wet or slippery surfaces
