Sorry, this may seem like a dumb question. Is the frame steel or aluminum? It does not specify material, it does say material type: polyolefin, but I am assuming that is just the solid wheels. The reason I am asking is because I am looking for a sturdy...

It's steel frame construction, I use a 100lb drum with this and it has held up fine and easy to roll I am guessing the material they mention is for the wheels

I would have to agree w/ "CyberTom's" response as the one I own flexes a great deal. I would look into something w/ a steel/aluminum frame.

The wheels (rims) are steel, while the tires mounted on the steel rims are rubber. Very nice quality!

Linda...the wheels are heavy duty plastic. I love this cart. You won't be sorry you order this cart. Happy 4th of July. Cathy

The description says, "wheels, that will never rust/soft grip/Highly durable epoxy finish/can carry 150 lbs" but the tires kept falling off the hubs of the wheels when I loaded it up with 80 pounds of groceries. I will be returning the unit, since I bought it to carry heavy loads back from the store. (If it's not a heavy load, I just carry it in bags!)

The frame is made of aluminum.The entire unit is very light & easy to handle.It is hardly noticeable when connected to my Cannondale mountain bike.

To my knowlegde , its completely steel and I did not see any aluminium. Legs and the small round handle are thin compared to the body. Hope this helps.

I have purchased both: this one is an all metal frame. Incredibly sturdy. The front tire is a real tire (think bike tire), which is the reason for needing to purchase a new one from the original one--the plastic tire(s) wore holes in all of them. I highly recommend this one for quality. For convenience, not as much, this is MUCH heavier. Can't just throw it in the back of the vehicle to take to grandmas house ;-)

Don't know about Walmart bikes, but this has an aluminum frame. Lightweight for a cruiser, but not as light as good racer.

Hard plastic - although I think I read that you can replace the plastic with polyurethane wheels. This hard plastic is holding up great and my grandson rides in the house on wood and tile AND outside on the stone terrace. Drifting has scuffed the wood floors so he has a cease and desist order on that. FYI.

The bike is Aluminum but it looks like it has a clear coating. I really like bike. It does not look cheap at all. I plan on buying 2 more.

The wheels are plastic, but it seemed to go very well in the house. Haven't tried it outside on concrete yet.

Randy I bought two of these wheels about 18 months ago for a small lawn cart. I just went check to be certain and the ones I got were definately a tube type tire mounted on one piece steel wheel.The wheel has bearings and a grease zerk too. Hope this helps!

Aluminum Frame. And it's a great bike. A little more heavy than some I would guess, but very stylish and strong. My daughter ( 22yrs ) loves it.

Steel. I checked with a magnet - VERY strong attraction, therefore it is definitely not aluminum. (Whoever answers aluminum is likely judging by the weight. It's not as heavy as one might expect.)

Waaaay too light to be steel, it's definitely aluminum. In fact the box almost seemed empty when I got it, that's how light it is. But I'm 300+ pounds and have used it daily for over a year with no problems.

Plastic....I had 2 and both had the plastic around a wheel break. Unless they have changed the construction, I would not recommend it.
