What kind of cart do you use?

[fred32176]

Stupid question, but has anyone considered trying to find or make a cart that could be immersed in saltwater? Obviously I could find something foldable and take it back to the car, but it would be cool if I could have a cart that I could just take into the water with me and sand anchor it.

Potential issues: anchor failing, cart moving around in the water and hitting people (in this case, perhaps a floating cart), probably difficult to find wheel bearings that work with saltwater immersion.

Maybe this is crazy / dumb but it's a thought...

The basic problem is salt is corrosive. I live 1000 feet from the Atlantic Ocean and I leave my gorilla garden cart outside on a covered porch. A gorilla cart lasts 2 - 3 years before the front doesn't turn easily and the handle corrodes off. My wife has a couple of planters made from the plastic bed of gorilla carts.

If you actually dragged a cart into the ocean, the only hope you would have is treating it like a boat trailer and doing regular maintenance. I am not sure anyone wants a high maintenance cart and if they didn't want to do the maintenance they could turn it into planters after a handful of uses.

What about these?
Option 1

Option 2


Option 3





Option 4

No 2 chief I may have loaded up with manifolded 100s heavy plate wing and regs you know the whole shebang
and after 3.7 revolutions, one wheel completely collapsed and the other only half so off to the steel wheel shop

has anyone considered trying to find or make a cart that could be immersed in saltwater?

When I decided to buy a shack a couple of hundred feet (and I am watching it get less)
from The Southern ocean and with an incredibly heavy Gavin scooter, the one and only
answer, was to buy an appropriate 4x4 to take me and my stuff, all the way to the edge

I am still going to build or convert a trailer to take the scooter all the way into the water

But I sure ain't takin up no kite surfin
