He certainly "might" be able to run with this controller (on paper anyways) ... if the controller is actually functional

If his controller is pooched and has to be replaced, I would certainly suggest upgrading to a higher amp rated controller for this heavy, work cart.

For my nearly identical cart, Alltrax suggested an SR 500 amp would work fine ... as would an SR 600 amp ... but the 600 amp might be overkill.

If the controller has to be replaced, I would certainly replace it with one with a built in cooling fan. I find my 600 amp Curtis tends to run hot and I live in a cool climate. With the Alltrax, a fan panel is included in the 500 and 600 amp models. In the lower amps models, the fan panel is optional.
Yeah....if I'm buying a new controller, going a little bigger is better.
