These days, golf carts (sometimes called golf cars) are becoming increasingly popular for use beyond the golf course. They have evolved and are now being employed in a multitude of different ways. People use golf carts for maintenance work around parks and construction sites, college campus security, removing injured players from the field, taking the kids to the neighborhood pool, gardening, or yard work.

If you aren’t planning to use the golf cart for the fairways (or, in some cases, even if you are), consider installing a cargo box. They come in kits that are simple to add on, and you have a choice of black powder-coated steel, diamond plate aluminum (which won’t rust if you are near the beach), lightweight but durable plastic, and mesh.

You can even get them with a hinged tailgate so you can haul extra-long equipment or branches, and they hold up to 300 lbs. (Check with the manufacturer on specific weight restrictions.)

Steel Cargo Boxes

This is a great steel work bed for your utility golf cart. It will allow you to haul cargo securely and safely. With a tailgate that folds down, you will find it easy for loading and unloading, and you can leave the tailgate down when hauling branches or other items that are elongated. It is perfect for yard work, maintenance work, hauling dirt, and other tasks. Painted black with a powder coat, this box has a heavy-duty rubber tailgate to prevent rattling. It is available for the Yamaha, EZGO, and the Club Car.

Aluminum Cargo Boxes

Aluminum cargo boxes are perfect for areas where things tend to rust, such as waterfront properties. The material resists corrosion and rust, has better overall durability, and is lighter than the steel cargo boxes. This cargo box comes in a high-quality, heavy-duty diamond plate aluminum design and is perfect for hauling cargo safely and securely. It also has a fold-down heavy-duty rubber tailgate that latches to prevent rattling.

Mesh Cargo Box

The mesh cargo box is lightweight yet sturdy and is perfect for times when you need to haul or transport items that are wet. It basically filters any overflow and it is easy to clean. Made of high-quality steel, this mesh box is designed to fit comfortably on your golf cart. Some come with roof supports so you can mount it on your roof as opposed to losing any seats. It is available for EZGO, Yamaha, and Club Car, and it is designed to fit just about any model year.

Fold-Down Rear Seat Kit with Cargo Box

Don’t want to forfeit your rear seating? Perhaps you just need a cargo box occasionally? The rear flip seat kit is perfect for when you still need the extra seating for passengers and, sometimes, when you want the ability to transport items back and forth. There is an easy conversion from a seat to a cargo box, and it fits all models from 1982 to present. Just choose your make and your colors, and you are ready to go.

Cargo Caddie Lightweight Utility Bed

The cargo caddie is a lightweight but hard cargo box that fits on top of the rear flip seat cargo bed. It is easy to install and perfect for those who really treasure hanging onto the additional seating. It works on carts that have a rear fold-down seat. Just fold down the seat and attach the caddie securely. It is ideal for sports gear, plants, and groceries.

Front Cargo Basket

Do you just need something small for simple transport? This heavy-duty little basket mounts in front of the windshield and won’t interfere with a flip-down windshield. This is excellent if you need to run to the grocery store for a few items. It’s also perfect for hunting, farm tools, garden accessories, tennis bags, and pool toys.

Initially the golfing enthusiast’s constant companion, these small utility carts have gone beyond cruising the country clubs and the golf courses; they have made it to the streets and are used in a multitude of different ways. Today, we see a lot of them making the rounds on major public roads in several states across the country, as well as in commercial and private vicinities.

Golf carts have become an essential part of daily life for many individuals and organizations. People have come to rely heavily on these products as the economical, convenient, and practical utility carts that they are.
