When it comes to hauling your cooler from the car to your tailgate, campsite, or beach spot, heavy coolers can turn what should be fun into a back-breaking task. If you’ve been frustrated by bulky coolers, you’re not alone. Many outdoor enthusiasts have tried DIY cooler wheel kits, like those featured alongside the Mighty Max Cart in Bob Vila’s popular article, “How to Hack a Wheeled Cooler—for Less than $250.” While these kits provide a solution, they often require multiple parts, lengthy assembly, and don’t always deliver reliable performance.
That’s where the Mighty Max Cart comes in — a complete, ready-to-use wheeled cooler cart designed to outperform DIY kits and transform how you transport your gear.
Why DIY Cooler Wheel Kits Fall Short
DIY wheel kits can be complicated, unstable, and hard to assemble. They may work for some coolers, but often result in a clunky, unstable setup that’s frustrating to use. Not every cooler can accommodate these kits seamlessly, which means you might end up spending hours only to get a subpar wheeling experience.
Mighty Max Cart – Designed With Your Cooler In Mind
- Expandable Flatbed Frame (32–38 inches): The frame can be extended from 32 to 38 inches to accommodate large coolers, crates, or boxes. Regardless of the brand of your cooler, it will fit safely on the cart. Up to 100 qt coolers.
- Strong All-Terrain Wheels: Four 4-inch wide rubber tires that never go flat roll easily over sand, grass, gravel, dirt, or pavement. Unlike thin DIY wheels, these thick tires stop the cart from sinking or tipping, even on grass or bumpy paths.
- HDPP Rust-Resistant Construction: The frame is molded from high-density polypropylene (HDPP), a weatherproof polymer. It’s rustproof and UV-resistant, so rain, sun, and salt spray won’t corrode it. (In fact, the cart is 100% made in the USA, reflecting high manufacturing standards)
- Compact Collapsible Design: When you’re done, the cart folds flat in seconds. This lets you easily stow it in a car trunk, garage, or closet – no bulky cart taking up space.
- Included Accessories: The set comes with removable end walls, a tool rack, and a bungee cord. These accessories turn the cart into a multi-use utility wagon. Need to haul tools or camping gear? The tool rack and bungees keep everything in place. (Fishing rod holders are even included on some models.)
- High Load Capacity: Despite weighing only ~22 lbs itself, the cart can carry heavy loads. In its standard 32″ position, it handles around 200 lbs, and with end walls removed, it can haul up to about 250 lbs.
Why Choose Mighty Max Over DIY Options?

It saves you time, hassle, and frustration, so you can focus on enjoying your tailgate, camping, or day at the beach. Proudly USA-made, this cart is built to last and deliver reliable performance every outing.

Great cart
"One of the best carts i have had. I use it all the time.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Killer product.
"I run a coffee catering business and often have to bring one or more coolers to both indoor and outdoor events. This wheel attachment has basically become part of my cooler—it makes moving a fully loaded cooler effortless. It also looks great and even raises the cooler a bit, which has been a big plus for us. Honestly, its kind of a must if you use a cooler a few times a week!”
— Jason W.
