I landed on your tutorial as I am looking for some ideas to convert such a cart to carry my photography gear (monopod, tripod, camera backpad, lunch...) and you had the same idea as me to use a pipe to support some of my stuff ;) I really would enjoy the wheels to be this far apart for open areas like a field but with some narrow trails, my challenge is to come up with a way to get them closer to each other like folding the cart and still be able to use the cart. To accomplish this, I am thinking of using a third front wheel to be the only one touching the ground while the back ones are up. Anyway, thanks a lot for your time creating this nice tutorial!
I spent just a touch over 100 hundred Aussie dollars. At the time a Zuca was at least 3 times that. My cart still holds up and running well today. Recently added a clamp to hold an umbrella in the rain.
It can probably hold a decent load. You just need to be careful to make sure the cart is sitting on flat ground and you don't put any load pushing it to either side as it does have some flex and not a lot of sideways reinforcement. With that in mind, I reckon it could easily do 130kg or 300 lb.
Built this yesterday for my wife. Turned out great. I suspect it will get a field test today.
thank you for the inspiration I plan on doing something like this.
This is Genius well done and happy holidays

I’ve always thought this would be an awesome thing to try and do, this is sweet!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
It seems like you could have just bought a Zuca with all the costs involved. What was your total spend?

How much weight do you think this can hold? (I'm not a small man. )
