Compass Carts LLC is an American manufacturer of hitch-mounted cargo systems and utility carts based in Rochester, Minnesota. The company produces modular hauling equipment designed for outdoor recreation, trades, and equipment transport.
History
Compass Carts was founded in 2019 by entrepreneur Todd Hanson. The concept originated during a hunting trip, when Hanson encountered difficulties transporting equipment and game over long distances, prompting the development of a more efficient hauling system.[1]
The company developed a hybrid system combining a utility cart with a hitch-mounted rack, designed to reduce the need for repeatedly loading and unloading gear.[1]
Compass Carts has been featured in regional media coverage, including television reporting highlighting its product innovation and local business growth.[2]
Products
Compass Cart System
The company’s primary product is the Compass Cart System, a modular hauling platform combining a two-wheeled utility cart with a hitch-mounted carrier. The system allows users to load cargo once and transport it without transferring items between platforms.
The design incorporates a sliding mechanism that enables the cart to mount onto a vehicle’s receiver hitch, functioning as both a mobile cart and a vehicle-mounted cargo carrier.[3]
Outdoor publications have described the system as similar to a traditional hitch-mounted deer cart with additional mobility and multi-use functionality.[4]
Design
The Compass Cart System functions as a hybrid between a hand truck, utility trailer, and cargo carrier. It is typically constructed using aluminum and steel components for durability and weight balance.[3]
Key features include:
- Compatibility with standard trailer hitch receivers
- Sliding rack mechanism for loading and unloading
- Foldable or compact storage design
- Modular configurations for different hauling needs
Applications
Compass Carts products are used in a range of contexts, including:
- Outdoor recreation such as hunting, fishing, and camping
- Transport of tools and materials for construction and landscaping
- Equipment hauling in off-road or uneven terrain
Industry coverage has highlighted its use for transporting game, sporting equipment, and outdoor gear across varied environments.[4]
Industry presence
Compass Carts has been featured in outdoor media publications, including Coastal Angler Magazine, where the system was presented at trade events such as ICAST.[5]
The company has also exhibited at industry events such as the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show.[3]
