They're called lynch pin. You can get them from Ace hardware. Orchard maybe. I don't know about Home Depot or lowes.

Tractor supply has them also.  Most hardware stores have them for around $1-1.50/ea

It's the same diameter as a ziptie.  I use zipties when I lose my pins

If you want to "go uptown," since we're in a marine environment I would consider a trip to West Marine or other chandlery, and find a sailing equivalent. I've seen  some appropriate tackle that's stainless and has a better retention system.

Standard lynchpins will corrode quickly.

They aren't an item you'd find in a boat.  They are an 'agricultural' based item however you may be able to find some in stainless online.  I'd go with the $1.50 solution from the hardware store & replace it every 3-5 years.  I can guarantee it will become lost well before it rusts away.  Rinse the cart off after use and you'll be good to go for a long time.  Salt Away too

The one I got from the hardware store hasn't corroded. I forgot what kinda of metal it's made of, but it's not stainless.

GTK. It's amazing how those darn things just fall out.
