The Oasis Palm Cart™

It’s time to rethink how palm trees are supported during transplanting—and do it right.

Engineered for serious work, our custom-designed Palm Cart measures just 31 inches wide yet confidently carries loads up to 5,000 pounds. The Oasis Palm Cart makes it easy to move large, valuable tree specimens through tight spaces where traditional equipment simply won’t fit.

Oversized turf tires, a true 360° turning radius, and a rotating pedestal base allow operators to smoothly redirect the tree while moving forward or backward. Two heavy-duty custom ratchet straps secure the tree firmly to the pedestal, ensuring stability and control throughout the move. Compared to a standard tree dolly, this cart requires noticeably less effort to operate—saving time, reducing crew fatigue, and lowering labor costs on every installation. In short, it pays for itself.

Beyond palms, the cart’s design is highly adaptable. It can be modified and customized for a wide range of applications across multiple industries, from landscaping and construction to specialty transport and beyond. Where creativity leads, this cart can follow—because when it comes to applications, imagination truly has no limits.
