$59.99 is the regular price at harbor freight
Even though they appear to be exactly the same aside from paint job, one thing you would never think about is the casters. The higher weight capacity is likely due to the caster quality and build. The platform itself without casters flat on the ground could likely support 2 tons. The casters are the weak point. So each is rated to the casters.
Is it just me but the original prices on Walmart are inflated/high so it makes it look like you're getting a deal? 🤔 👀

I've noticed it on various items since I started using Walmart +, it's deceiving :/

I agree. It's a common trick of retail that seemed to be way worse in the last few years. I recall some article talking about how the sears fair pricing marketing campaign eventually killed the company. It's better for profit to convince people that they got a good deal rather than actually giving them a good deal.

These remind me of the carts they use at Uhauls indoor storage facilities. Probably better than using a dolly for moving cumbersome things

How good are the wheels on this? I've had similar carts but the wheels are often too small and noisy as heck for using it on the sidewalk, even for short trips from a parking garage to an office? Anyone have previous experience they can share?

It is still a good deal do a walmart and Amazon search for hand carts and you will find many with much lower weight tolerances going for $109+

Even though it's out of stock - I'll add my 2 cents in case it comes back.

It's terrible. Or at least has terrible QC.

The deck is pretty much just an adhesive rubber backing. Mine was bubbling all over and adhesive was coming out all the sides which made for a huge mess. The fixed wheels already had pretty aggressive rust on the sides.

The wheel attachment points were not threaded properly so each bolt goes in at an angle. They suggest using a combo wrench, but there's almost no room (especially on the fixed casters) to get one in there. I ended up using a 17mm socket.

It rolls pretty poorly and while it's probably normal, this thing reeked when opened.

The insult to injury is the poor tapping of threads makes putting the fixed casters on incredibly difficult. After putting together and trying to move a couple boxes, it would stop rolling or snag with the least amount of resistance.

Within 15 minutes of finishing assembly, I had taken the wheels back off, chucked it in the box, and drove it back to Walmart.

I wouldn't expect much for $36, but man this thing was horrible in just about every way.

I was about to jump on this but seems this is not heavy duty. I bought Costway one ( https://www.walmart.com/ip/Costwa.../627779732 [walmart.com] ) in Dec which has a 330lb capacity but it's assembled weight is 19lb. This one is 440lb and its assembled weight is 13lb. Something is not adding up. This might be a perfect deal for someone who wants to carry bigger but not bulkier stuff.
Just receieved mine today. 33 Pounds on the box
