At Overland we are continually improving and developing new carts. Â In the midst of putting out the most complete line of powered carts in the USA, we thought it would be good to explain how our model numbers work. Â We recently updated them to provide more transparency and clearer identification. Â Overland Carts started with one main model, the C27-10A. Â Over the last 5 years, customer feedback has lead us to develop an entire line of motorized carts. Â Ranging from the smallest R27-6T garden cart to our 20 cu ft motorized trash/utility cart. Â Keeping all the model numbers straight and cohesive has been a challenge in the past but we hope that you can follow along with our new structure.
C: Commercial or Residential
Overland features two different lines of carts.  The commercial line and the residential line.  The commercial line (C-series) is our best selling line of motorized carts.  The C-series features heavy duty Brentwood hoppers, standard dual ag tires, and a powder coated steel hopper chassis.  The residential line (R-series) is our basic line of motorized carts.  The R-series features a light duty hopper and standard turf tires.  Both are premium carts with powered chassis and rechargeable batteries.

X: Four Wheel Drive or Two Wheel Drive
The four wheel drive model was developed to provide an even more robust powertrain. Â Featuring two drive axles, two electric motors, four sets of dual ag tires and an extended battery, this cart is a substantial upgrade from the normal two wheel drive. Â The use of an “X” designates the cart as a four wheel drive model. Â If the model number does not have an “X” then it is a standard two wheel drive model. Â The 4WD cart also uses an articulated chassis with steering in the back.
34: Length of chassis
The different models of overland carts are noted by their features and also the chassis they ride on.  Similar to the automobile industry, Overland Carts use a custom chassis to develop the rest of the cart from.  The standard two wheel drive cart rides on a 27 inch chassis.  The power dump cart rides on a 32 inch chassis.  The four wheel drive cart rides on a 34″ articulated chassis.  The longest chassis is the 44 inch chassis on the power wagon.  The chassis length is close in length of the wheelbase.
Quick Hits: Available Chassis lengths
27 inch – Standard two wheel drive chassis
32 inch – Standard power dump chassis
34 inch – Standard four wheel drive chassis
44 inch – Standard wagon chassis
8: Hopper Size in cubic feet
Overland carts come in a wide variety of hopper sizes. Â The number immediately after the dash displays the volume of the hopper. Sizes can range from a 6 cubic foot wagon to a 20 cubic foot trash utility cart. Â The most popular size is the 10 cubic foot wheelbarrow hopper. Â It features the maximum usable size without going to the full trash hopper. Â The hopper has a significant affect on overall width. Â The garden carts are only 24 inches wide with turf tires and a standard light duty hopper. Â The top of the line C27-10A is 36 inches wide due to the hopper width. Â A standard wheelbarrow is 4-5 cubic feet for comparison.

6 cubit foot light duty garden wagon
7 cubic foot light duty garden hopper
7 cubic foot heavy duty wheelbarrow hopper
8 cubic foot heavy duty wheelbarrow hopper
9 cubic foot heavy duty wagon hopper
10 cubic foot heavy duty wheelbarrow hopper
20 cubic foot heavy duty trash/utility hopper
A – Tire Preference
The standard tires on the Overland cart are the dual ag tires. Â These tires provide the best traction and stability. Â The distribution of weight helps to keep the tires from sinking into the ground. Â Most Overland motorized carts ship with these tires. Â Â Turf tires are available for light duty applications indoors or around the yard. Â The single ag tires provide the traction of ag tires while minimizing width. Â This is helpful on the C27-7 wheelbarrow. Â The dual ag tires go past the hopper creating a width of 33 inches. Â If single ag tires, or turf tires are selected, the maximum width drops to 30″. Â Changing the tires do provide a small cost savings of $100, but we recommend the dual ag tires for best performance.
Quick Hits: Tires Options
A – Dual Ag Tires – Most popular
T – Turf Tires
S – Single Ag Tires
PD – Power Dump
PD signifies a cart that comes with power dump. Â One of the first requests we got from customers was a power dump option on the carts. Â After careful consideration we found the right option. Â It was important that Overland stick to it’s “All Electric” power and not use a hydraulic lift. Â We were able to secure an electric powered screw type actuator. Â That is just a fancy way of saying, we found a way to do a controlled dump with electric power. Â To accommodate the lift we extended the chassis 5 inches, thus the 32 inch chassis.
Wrapping Up
We hope that this summary of model numbers clearly explains how the model numbers work. Â We also hope that it shows the available powered cart options. Â We look forward to continuing developing the Overland cart line to better meet all of our customer’s needs.
