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."

This is a great product and it does what it says. We just moved about 20 of my pots and this product made the process significantly easier. Many of the pots I can't lift on my own - sometimes because they're too heavy, but often they just don't have a good spot to grip.We were also able to move a concrete bird bath with the PotLifter, it adapted well to the irregular shape. The quality is very good and I suspect it will last for many years.

Excellent product. Could never have lifted wine barrel planters without this! Worked like a charm.

This is fantastic it works just as advertised and has come in handy so many times. It is truly worth the money.

This is our third one to buy. The other two both broke after about a year. The plastic part snapped in half both times. But yes, we are buying a third one because we are in our 70s and can still move our large plants without asking someone to help. We are going to put the straps inside this year in the hope that the plastic just doesn't hold up if it gets too cold.

Makes moving heavy pots much easier

This is well made and easy to use. My husband and I were able to move a very large houseplant that we have had for over 40 years to replace the cracked saucer below it. It worked just like the video shows.

Works as advertised! We have several very large, very heavy pots we need to move on our patio. This product worked great after we got the hang of how to adjust it properly. I really like how easy it is to store for later use. We looked at getting a pot dolly but they’re a pain to store when you don’t need it. This fits in drawer in our putting shed.
