Made from heavy-duty steel, these rugged hose trucks feature a premium drip-less swivel, anti-kink reel, full-flow brass fittings, and high quality pneumatic tires. They are built to last with virtually no assembly required ¿ just snap the handle in place and they are ready to use. The Two-Wheeled Hose Truck holds up to 200-feet of hose. Both are built to carry the weight of a heavy hose, and at the same time they look great in your garden. The textured, silver vein powder coat finish will stand up to years of outdoor use.
Customer Reviews
No More Poly Carts. It's Steel For Me.
This hose cart is light years beyond those poly hose carts that cost 30 to fifty dollars and last a year or two. I just replaced one that is less that a year old with thes Lewis Steel Hose Cart.
The cart is ruggedly built and comes with a high quality leader hose. The metal connections all look and feel substantial.
Putting the cart together was a little problematic even though there are few pieces.It took more effort and time to screw on the crank handle than I would have imagined. For some reason the threads just wouldn't mesh or connect. After finally getting the handle on I noticed that the crank was bent inward didn't make a full revolution because it hit the framework after each half turn.
A manufacturer's rep, reached using the 800 number provided, was very courteous and suggested I try to bend the handle out manually. She thought it must have been bent inward during transport. Fortunately the handle bending strategy worked and the cart works well.
This cart may hold two hundred feet of hose, but it barely contains my two hundred feet of hose. My hoses are 5/8" and heavy. Two hundred feet of cheaper hose will fit on the reel easily.
The hose connections are leak free and the crank turns with minimal effort. Despite the assembly problems, I like this cart and would buy it again.
Be aware that the pneumatic tires must be inflated.
Almost Perfect
I am glad I read the reviews before I started to assemble the cart. I too had a difficult time threading the handle. The crank was also bent inward and wouldn't allow a full revolution. I did bend it back manually; but that was no easy task. Considering the force it took to bend it, I doubt this happened during transportation.
Now that it is ready to go, I love it. The work was worth it.
You'll Have it For Life, and Never Have to Replace It!
This product is very well made; soldered joints, solid wheels that can be filled with air (not the cheap solid rubber tires), and it never leaked even when cranking up the water pressure. This is replacing a plastic caddy whose handle it too low (unless you are 4' tall and can hunch over to wheel it) and cracked.
I only had one small inconvenience. When trying to attach the handle, some solder slag got accidentally deposited on the screw threads and had to be carefully machined. After that was done, assembling was a breeze and it works beautifully! Such a joy; a well-mad product that actually works properly. I highly recommend it.
