the only reason i went with the northerntools wheels is that the hubs/rims are plastic and thought it would be less maintenance, no rust

I used to sell ice cream on the beaches in NJ before relocating to SD. My ice cream chest used to weigh up to 150lbs. or so with all of the dry ice and products in it. I tried all kinds of wheels, and the best that I've ever used in soft or hard sand are wheeleez balloon wheels.

They're a bit expensive, and take up lots of space, but they're effortless to push around.

I fish Santa Barbra every summer for vacation I have tried a lot of wheels, But the ballon tires from wheeleze works the best, alitle pricy but worth saving you back I use the 30cm, size, I researched them quite a bit before buying them , the smaller ones 22cm dont have the width or the weight load for all the gear we tend to bring, and tend to bog I used mine on beachs 100yrds or more with ease. I use the harbor fright when I go to the lakes up in Nor Cal for deer season they work well on hardpacked and rocky areas.
