Beach chair trolley

Sun, heat, we look for a good beach or cove to go to and cool off in the sea, and we start carrying things. Towels, changes of clothes, refrigerator, chairs or sun loungers … and we will have to carry all of this to the beach. That’s when we think that a beach chair trolley might be a good idea



Why buy a beach chair trolley

We are not even aware of everything we have to carry to spend a comfortable, safe and entertaining day at the beach

Towels are essential, as are sun creams. A few changes of clothes are not too much, especially if we are going to go somewhere else later. We will not be in the water all the time, a couple of books or magazines will help us to pass the time while we sunbathe. Let’s not say if we go with children, with their toys, floats, etc., the refrigerator for food and drink if we are going to be many hours; equipment for games or water sports (paddles, balls, snorkel …). And above all, the chairs or loungers. We can carry some things in a beach bag, or by hand, but not everything.

With a beach chair trolley we can comfortably carry everything we need for our beach day

Without stress, without the danger of something falling and breaking, without hurting our backs from trying to carry too many things. In addition, the trolley can be used to keep our things well stored, or even some go further and can become a practical lounger or a folding table.

Materials

In a beach chair trolley we must distinguish three fundamental parts: the structure, the load compartment and the wheels

  • The structure will typically be made of aluminum or steel, two strong and lightweight materials (steel will be stronger, while aluminum will be lighter). Plastics or other materials do not suit us because they are easy to break or deteriorate.
  • The compartment must also be made of a resistant, waterproof fabric that is easy to wash and dry. Oxford fabric, polyester, PVC mesh… will be good choices.
  • The wheels are usually made of plastic, but there are several qualities. We should choose a resistant one. We can also find rubber wheels, perhaps less practical in the sand but quieter when rolling on pavement.

Types and size

Basically we will find two types of beach chair trolleys

With four wheels, with a plastic or textile box where we can put our belongings; or two-wheeled, like a cargo cart. In both cases there will be different sizes.

  • It will be convenient for us to be foldable to be able to easily put it in the trunk of the car, and so that it does not take up much space at home while we are not using it.
  • About wheels, they exist with fixed or directional wheels. We will also find different widths and profiles.
  • Finally, you have to pay attention to accessories or certain unique characteristics, such as that the cart can be used as a table or as a lounger.

Tips for choosing your ideal beach chair trolley

The most important thing is that our beach chair trolley adapts as much as possible to our needs

The first will be the transport capacity: what do we need to load? If the cart is too small, it will not solve all the problem of carrying our things, but if we choose one that is too big we run the risk of putting too many things just because they fit.

If we only want to carry the chairs and the rest of the things we can carry them in a beach bag, a two-wheeled cart may be enough

But if we prefer to put everything in the cart, then a four-wheel one is better and one that holds a good weight.

If we have to walk for a long time on pavement, a cart with rubber wheels can come in handy, and thus not have to endure the rattle

It will also be better if we go to a cove of stones or rocks. On the other hand, on sand, a cart with plastic wheels as wide as possible will give us the best result.

Depending on what we are going to load in the beach chair trolley, we will be more interested in one type of structure or another

To make sure it holds the weight well, an overall steel frame will be better. If we value lightness and are not going to overload the cart, then aluminum will give us better results.

We should never skimp on fabric: a cart with a textile container that tears at the first use is totally useless, we will always look for thick and resistant fabrics

It is also convenient that they are easily washable and that they dry well, to avoid the formation of fungi that can produce bad odors or stain the belongings that we keep inside.

And last but not least, the handle

We must check that it is comfortable and manageable, and we must also decide if we prefer a trolley to push or pull it.
