PotLifter - Potted Plant Mover and Essential Lifting Tool For Garden Flower Pots, Planters, Trees, Rocks - Lifts Up to 200 Pounds - A Plant Caddy Alternative, Easily Move Heavy Items Around Your Yard

I have, among a number of plants, a very large pot with wild/Mexican petunias that I have successfully weathered over in the house and/or garage for several winters. I was motivated to try to preserve it, although it would be considered an annual in the climate where I live, because you never know what plants will be offered seasonally each spring. Because this pot of wild petunias has done so well, it is rather heavy. I had carried it back and forth each season on my own, and sometimes with help, but it was a difficult and tedious task. I had seen the PotLifter a year or so ago in a gardening catalog and thought it would be helpful when moving my large potted plants from the deck to the garage in winter & back to the deck in the spring. Unfortunately, I failed to order it in time to move my plants inside last fall and still hadn't ordered it by the time it was time to move my plants back outside. I was kicking myself for this each time I had to move the plants. Recently, I needed to temporarily relocate the heavy potted plants on my deck, and THIS time, I ordered the PotLifter. It is designed to be used by two people, but it is easy to use, and makes moving large, bulky, heavy pots SO much easier! I had looked at a couple of different types of potted plant moving implements, and I ultimately chose this one because it can be used easily (with a lifting partner) whether moving plants across level terrain or navigating stairs or uneven surfaces such as a slope. There are dolly type plant moving tools too, but the disadvantage I saw with that type, for me, was the potential difficulty of navigating stairs with it. Also, due to the materials involved in manufacturing the dolly type plant movers, they cost approximately twice as much as the PotLifter and would require more space to store. The PotLifter has straps that are adjustable to accommodate a variety of pot sizes, as well as to accommodate different heights of those lifting the pots. The handles are textured with ridges and a good size to allow a firm comfortable grip without cutting into the hand. The PotLifter comes with a nylon storage bag to keep it clean and together between uses, so it shouldn't end up in a tangled mess of spider webs and debris in the dark recesses of the garage, shed, or basement between uses. I've been really pleased with my PotLifter so far, and I'm glad I finally quit procrastinating and just bought it. I expect it to last and continue to be useful for MANY years.EDITED TO ADD: The pots I moved were tapered and wider at the top than the base, textured, and/or had a "lip" at the top of the pot. I think the PotLifter would probably offer the most stability in holding the pot securely when there is a lip at the top of the pots being moved for the straps to "grab."

I was skeptical this product would be effective. To my pleasant surprise, not only is it easy to use, it works! I am able to move very heavy planters full of soil with my adolescent daughter. It also takes minimal space to store.I cannot say how long it will last, as we have only used it a few times, but it appears to be well-made from quality products.

I am not the super 'swolle' dude I was in my 20's or 30's, I cant throw a couch over my head on moving day any longer, nor can I and my wife alone move some of our unreasonably heavy pots (Olive Trees, Pineapple Guava, Plumeria etc....) if it's a $500 pot and a 350lb plant my wife wants it....I thought I could move it all given my history as a power lifter, but as I turned 45 and COVID ate my soul, I found that nope, I could not do it, and a wheelbarrow was not the key......in comes the PotLifter....holy cow this thing is legit. we moved with ease the heaviest damn concrete planters with effing trees in them with minimal effort. Do I recommend this product...eff yeah. I am giving these now for Christmas to anyone who has potted plants.

What a great device. You can lift and move huge dirt filled pots easily. Well made.

It took a little bit to get it adjusted so as not to slip on the pot, but once set correctly it makes an otherwise hard lifting task easy (so long as you have two people).

Amazing how beautifully this worked! My husband and I were able to move over 3 large potted trees onto rollers in less than 7 minutes! No mess!

I am the one growing tropical plants in a zone they won't survive, unless they are carted in during the winter months. There is this curious tendency with plants, they get big. Moving them twice a year is a labor of love.I was skeptical, but spring was upon us and the plants need sunshine. Moving them is cumbersome, and I dreaded it. I did some comparisons and settled on this product, which seemed better suited for my purpose. Once I figured out the hook and lock joint, we were on a roll. We began by carefully checking to make sure it could hold the weight. The plants were way over on the dryer side, to lighten the load (I've done this one or twice being the Pothos and Plumeria / Frangipani are 13 years old). Once confirmed the only concern was getting the branches through the doorway. What normally took 1.5 hours was done in half the time.The handles, made of a firm plastic, can easily be held with one hand or two. The straps can be adjusted so that personal height is not an issue (my house mate is shorter than I). We didn't try to lift these plants individually, but I can see it's possible depending on the shape and weight of the lift.The only downside, the straps can get tangled and twisted. In my experience, it doesn't affect performance and can easily be straightened out.Definitely a must have for lifting large and heavy items!

This product is a back saver. So easy to use and made well, well worth the price. We use it to bring in our large plants in pots for winter.Wish I had it years ago!
