Product Information
Full details
The Flopro Metal Hose Cart System is designed for gardeners with medium to large gardens who need a durable, stable, and easy-to-maneuver watering solution. Its key benefit is providing convenient hose storage and effortless deployment with a sturdy metal construction and integrated hose. A minor caveat is its maximum capacity, which, while generous, may not suit extremely large garden setups requiring more than 60m of hose.

What is the maximum hose length this cart can hold?
The Flopro Metal Hose Cart can hold up to 60 meters of 12.5mm diameter hose.
Does it come with a hose and nozzle?
Yes, this specific model includes a 50m Everyday hosepipe and an adjustable spray nozzle.
How do I store the hose cart when not in use?
The telescopic handle can be lowered, and the cart can be stored upright in a shed, garage, or other protected outdoor area.
Is the metal drum prone to rusting?
The drum is made of galvanised steel, which provides good resistance against rust and corrosion. However, prolonged exposure to harsh weather without proper care may eventually affect it.
Can I use a different size hose with this cart?
The cart is optimized for 12.5mm diameter hoses to achieve its maximum capacity. Using significantly thicker hoses may reduce the overall length it can store.
What warranty is provided with this product?
The Flopro Metal Hose Cart System is backed by a 5-year guarantee.
Troubleshooting
Hose is difficult to wind or unwind
Ensure the hose is not kinked and is laid out evenly on the drum. Check that the wheels of the cart are freely rotating.
Water leaks from the connector
Ensure the Supergrip connector is securely tightened onto the tap and the hose. Check the washer inside the tap connector for damage or wear and replace if necessary.
Cart feels unstable during use
Confirm that the wheels are properly secured and that the cart is on level ground. Ensure the telescopic handle is locked in its extended position.
Hose capacity seems less than stated
Ensure the hose is wound neatly and evenly onto the drum, without overlaps or significant gaps. A 12.5mm hose is required for maximum capacity.
