The Cart Titan was one of the Nine Titans with a quadrupedal form possessing devastating speed and endurance. 

The Cart Titan possessed a level of endurance greater than that of the other members of the Nine Titans, allowing for the inheritor to partake in long missions without the need for rest. Its absorption resistance allowed it to maintain its Titan form for long periods, making it an ideal candidate for a variety of tactics, including the clearing of trenches and long-term operations into enemy territory. Likewise, Pieck claims that the Cart Titan's power allowed her to perform hundreds of consecutive transformations before she started to feel fatigued.[5] On the downside, the Cart Titan had much lower defenses than the other Nine Titans and was more likely to be taken down by a critical or severe blow.

The Cart Titan stood out as unusual among the Nine Titans for its quadrupedal form, which may have been the source of its "Cart Titan" name. As a side-effect to inheriting the Cart Titan and staying in its form for extended periods of time, the inheritor was liable to forget how to walk normally and would instead crawl like the Cart Titan. Pieck was often seen crawling similarly to the Cart Titan when in the presence of few people, and also used crutches when getting around.

In addition to its combat abilities, the Cart Titan was often used to carry supplies or troops during times of conflict. Examples of this include during the Great Titan War, as well as the Battle of Shiganshina District and the Marley Mid-East War thousands of years later. In addition, the Cart Titan was also used as a mobile gunnery platform, being able to wear harnesses that could hold various weapons; this included several machine gun turrets and much larger weapons such as an anti-Titan artillery cannon.

The Cart Titan also possessed great speed, similar to the Jaw Titan, which was used during the Battle of Shiganshina to retrieve a defeated Zeke Jaeger and Reiner Braun while also catching Levi Ackermann and Hange off guard. 

The Cart Titan was one of the few Titans capable of intelligible speech.
