Current market options often present challenges such as difficulty in assembly, hard maneuverability on uneven terrain, and unreliability after a few years of use. Additionally, poor design in existing trolleys makes dumping heavy loads cumbersome and physically straining.
Many users report that existing garden trolleys lack ergonomic design and that components break easily when exposed to environmental factors. This garden cart addresses these issues, offering urban gardeners a reliable, ergonomic, and easy-to-use solution.
The Rhino cart is designed for urban gardeners who need to transport heavy loads such as lumber for DIY projects, mulch, and lawn debris. It provides an efficient, easy-to-maneuver solution that reduces the physical strain of gardening tasks.
Urban gardeners require a garden trolley that is lightweight yet capable of bearing heavy loads with a large carrying volume. It simplifies the task of dumping loads, making it less physically exhausting.

Initial steps included creating primitive clay models to conceptualize the handle design, focusing on ergonomics and comfort. These clay models were then digitized using the Trinio app, which involved scanning the models from multiple angles to create a detailed 3D representation. This 3D scan was imported into software like MeshMixer and Fusion 360 for further refinement. The mesh was converted into a BREP solid format and exported to SolidWorks for final adjustments.
The development process involved extensive research into the needs and preferences of military, law enforcement professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts. This included analyzing existing tactical knives, identifying common issues, and gathering feedback from potential users to understand their requirements. Prototyping and iterative testing were crucial in refining the design and ensuring it met user needs effectively. The focus was on creating a knife that is both functional and user-friendly, providing a reliable tool for professionals in high-stress environments.
