Though I followed the instructions for putting the wheels on, the spread on the wheels is too narrow. When you put a 20 gallon propane tank on the cart the wheels rub and make it hard to pull the cart. Im trying to figure out a way to "shim" out the wheels on the shaft.

The pull along cylinder cart is a great idea and is very convenient. It needs to be redesigned though. The full size cylinder moves around on the cart which causes the wheels to drag on the cylinder. I had to affix two small blocks of wood onto mine to create space for the cylinder to sit and the wheels to move freely.
Overall, I do think it is a great idea. The prop on the back for the fire nozzle is a great design.

Received the item in good time but the nylon strap was missing. Sent a message to Amazon but no reply!

Purchased another strap from Home Depot and assembled the wheels as per instructions. With a 20 lb cylinder they won't turn.

Not very impressive!

This is a great adjunct to the Red Dragon unit. Very handy. It puts together in minutes but be careful on the wheels; they only go on one way and if you put them on backwards; like I did; they rub against the cylinder. Look at the instructions carefully to make sure they are on the right way. Glad I ordered it with the unit though. Perhaps a little overpriced but it does fit the unit well and still glad I spent the money.

I would not purchase this dolly a second time and do not recommend it. The wheels are so small that the dolly will only roll over sidewalks without a great deal of trouble. Also, it is so flimsy that the weight of the cylinder is almost to much for it. Couple that with an axle that is too narrow to allow installation of better wheels and you will come out ahead just getting a longer hose and dispensing with the dolly all together.

Quality/sturdy cart with a compact footprint. Much smaller than the smallest standard dolly I could find.

This cart could better reflect the likely use of the equipment it is designed to carry.

On the plus side it is sturdy and the propane bottle straps securely onto it.

The following features render it difficult to use on moderately rough terrain:

1. Single center handle: Makes it really hard to control the cart, which wants to roll over off of the wheels.
2. Skinny little wheels: Inadequate to navigate on anything other than hard, smooth surfaces.
3. Too narrow: The wheels are too close together, making the cart unstable.

All in all it's OK, but sometimes aggravating to use. I wish they had welded a ring somewhere to keep the hose off of the ground as well.

Unit arrived with only one wheel in the box. Bottom platform was bent causing propane tank to be unstable. The supplied tie-down strap is almost useless. The wheels are too small and too close together for the unit to be used on any surface other than smooth concrete.


Bottom line: Bad deal for the price they charge for this thing. Good idea poorly executed.

This dolly was very easy to put together. Two bolts, attach the wheels(I used a socket over the end caps)and attach the strap...done! The bottle does not contact the wheels at all. I'm very happy with it.

The Utility Cart for the Weed Dragon gas cylinder is of excellent qualtiy and requires minimal assembly. Great Buy by Northern Tools.
