Wheelbarrow/Cart

[benjamming]

EZ Haul Cart is the only wheelbarrow/cart that I can find which is still made in USA. I am thinking about the 5.5 & 8 ft3 sizes for around the house.
Pneumatic tires originate in China.
Flat Proof tires originate in U.S.
Rims originate in Taiwan and U.S.
All bicycle spoke rims are being discontinued.
Shipping will be killer though I imagine since there aren't any distributors close (< 100 miles) to me.

This is kind of a post that makes you go '[censored]?'.

Milwaukee didn't have anything that I was looking for but thanks anyway.

Rubbermaid Big Wheel Cart might fit the bill. I don't know anything about the tires yet - flatproof, etc.

I have a pair of the Rubbermaid carts that I have rescued from the roadside trash. The wheels crumble. I have repaired them with a piece of plywood bolted to the hub and screwed to the tires. I would never pay what they are asking for one.

I've got the Rubbermaid cart. I've had it for quite a few years and no problem. Mine's got white plastic pneumatic tires (I think I keep them at 35 psi). Anyway, the wheels haven't shown any sign of deterioration. I keep it in a shed, so it's not sitting in the sunlight. Sunlight can deteriorate plastic. I'm satisfied with it.

US Plastic emailed be back & said it is made in USA. It comes with 20" bicyle type tires.
