“As with all good products, the original Muller’s cart was created out of a need for something better.”The humble beginnings of the Smart CartIn 1975, Brigadier General Henry Muller of Santa Barbara in California realised that his 60 year old wife was struggling to man the wheelbarrow in their stable without back pain. Understanding how much his wife loved her horses, he set to designing and creating the first easy to use, lightweight, durable, well-balanced stable cart in the market which he called The Muller’s Stablemate. It became successful in the American market, was renamed ‘The Muller’s Smart Cart’ and is now made in

Goreham, Maine. Four years ago David Fortune’s wife purchased a Smart Cart having seen one belonging to a friend. He put it together for her and thought it was a fantastic product. Later, after discovering that his aged mother’s gardener was struggling to dispose of grass cuttings from her vast lawns, he decided to buy her one but discovered that they were no longer available in the UK. David ordered her Smart Cart directly from Maine and offered to be Muller’s Smart Carts’ new distributor in the UK. They appointed him and Smart Carts UK was born.What makes the Smart Cart so ‘smart’?“The carts are perfectly balanced, they are light, easily manoeuvrable and very little lifting is required.” David told the South East TImes. “They’re also built to last decades - 20 to 30 years is not unusual.”“The weight of the load in a Smart Cart in motion is balanced over the wheels. Unlike the traditional

wheelbarrow design – with a single wheel at one end of the tub and lifting required on the other end – only a little leverage, not lifting of the Smart Cart is necessary to move the centre of gravity over the wheels, making the cart ideal for those with mobility issues and back pain. Its pair of wheels make it completely stable and controllable with one hand.”“Due to the materials used in a Smart Cart they are known to last well over 25 years,” David continued. “Each product comes with a 5 year warranty, but the combination of the aircraft quality aluminium alloy frame, the steel crossmember, axle and wheels and the exceptionally tough, high impact polyethylene of the tub makes the cart tough, light and virtually indestructible.”How can your Smart Cart transform your daily life?“Wherever you use the carts, whether in the garden, in the stable or on the farm, they are incredibly useful. Rust resistant and leak free, whatever the season. A Smart Cart makes childsplay out of transporting your straw, hay, feed or heavy fertiliser from A to B. An easily connected tow

bar is available to turn your cart into a trailer behind an ATV, even over rough ground. Fill it with ice, beer and wine and your summer party will go with a swing! Gardeners will rejoice in this long-lasting wheelbarrow alternative. The great ‘tip forward’ design makes it simple to unload soil, grass cuttings and even paving stones. Originally designed specifically for stable work the Smart Cart makes mucking out a pleasure it never used to be!”With huge capacity (7 and 12 cu ft options), two colours and wheel sizes (16” and 20” diameter) available, why not invest in a Smart Cart? In addition to the carts, see also the Easy Connect Towbar, Muck Caddy and Smart Water Cart.
