You’ll find a lot of metal frame beach carts, but often they’re made of alloy or steel. Why would you want a beach cart with aluminum frames? A few advantages are
- Lightweight compared to steel
- rust-proof, whereas steel would rust
- still sturdy enough for most of your beach needs
- Absorbs shock and impact more effectively

Big Beach Cart with Aluminum Frame
Big Kahuna Beach Wagon
As one of the more expensive options in the market, Big Kahuna is a great heavy-duty aluminum wagon for larger loads. The wagon only weighs 75lbs but holds up to 350lbs.
The cart can easily hold multiple coolers, buckets, and other items. The four side walls stand 8.5” tall, safeguarding your items and making sure nothing falls out.
Best Aluminum Folding Beach Cart
Tipke 2100 Marine Fold-It Utility Cart
We love the unique design for this Marine-grade aluminum beach cart. The holding compartment is 5.75 cubic feet and holds up to 330lbs. When fully folded, it occupies no more than 2 square feet. This means you can easily slide this cart behind your garage shelving for storage, or jigsaw it into your packed back trunk.
The wagon uses 20-inch pneumatic tires, making it more suitable for rough terrains. However, these tires may get stuck in soft sand, so you should look into swapping for balloon tires if possible.
Folding Beach Cart XL
Our folding beach cart is the most transportable beach cart with aluminum frames and large balloon wheels in the industry. The Folding Beach Cart XL holds up to 70lbs and is very easy to assemble. The wagon features rust free aluminum frames and heavy-duty mesh bag. It’s the perfect portable cart you need for your beach outings!
Note that we won’t be restocking the Folding Beach Cart XL for 2022. If you’re interested in getting your hand on one, subscribe to our mailing list to be notified once we restock, or check out other beach carts with balloon tires we offer.
