cartload

What wagons carry

A cartload is the amount a cart can carry—a full cart's worth of goods, produce, or materials.

The term extends to any large quantity: She brought home a cartload of groceries.

Like truckload or boatload, it often serves as casual hyperbole for an impressive amount: I have a cartload of work to finish.
