PotLifter - Heavy Duty Potted Plant Mover & Garden Lifting Tool for Flower Pots, Planters, Trees, Rocks - 200 lb Capacity - Alternative to Plant Caddy - Easily Transport Heavy Items in Yard, Greenhouse or Patio

In the video, some of the people are lifting with their elbows bent. I am happy to report that the length of the straps is easily adjustable so that each person can lift with their legs & not have to bend elbows to clear the pot off the ground. The handles make the lifting very comfortable and give you a sturdy grip. We easily lifted a large (25" diameter) terra cotta pot with a tall (7 feet, counting the pot) dracena. We also lifted a large "false aurelia" that is in a rather slick plastic container with no "lip." The pot lifter did not slide at all once we pulled it tight, and we lifted that plant with no issues at all. Excellent design, easy to set up and store. I also like that it is not necessary to slide any strap underneath the pot. This one is simple and effective.I 1as skeptical at first how well this would work. I am 160lbs and 5 ft 4, but i tried this on my heaviest and biggest pot and was amazed how it distributed the weight and made it easy to move a bug pot all by myself. The handles are oversized and easy to grip. This worked amazing, i can't believe i waited so long to own one. Great tool. Very durable. I moved a 100 lb plant all by myself, and my husband and i were able toove the heavier ones down 2nd floor apartment stairs with no problem.Came just in time to get my big plant pots out of the way for a hurricane! Easy to use and sturdy!I used it to transport my big planters. It makes the work bearable but still the moving of the planter was still a chore.We used this to lift and move two really heavy planter pots off of our backdeck because we're gonna be ripping up our backdeck and it worked super slick definitely worth the buy I wish we'd gotten something like this a lot sooner would make would have made things easier during wintertime.I posted my video but I see it was replaced with one that is not from me?. I deleted the video went to my photos attached me video and again a video that is not mine was attached, what’s going on? This is not right and now I’m not going to believe reviews anymore?Looks very sturdy and made well but the one I received had twisted straps that could not be turned because they are too stiff. We tried using it before I realized something was wrong. It didn’t tighten securely and was awkward trying to move pots that are up high or against a wall. It was hard to get a good position for both of us and we’re older so not that strong. It’s a very good product just not that helpful for moving large pots from certain locations.A seller of this item has a demonstration video on YouTube, wherein the statement is made that the Pro-Lifter is usable for pots up to 7 feet in DIAMETER, which would be equal to equal to 22 feet in circumference. That is incorrect and I pointed that out in a comment to the video, correcting the statement to be 7 feet in CIRCUMFRENCE, or 84 inches – which I had read or heard elsewhere, perhaps in another YouTube video. But, after actually using the device, I doubt that claim, as well.Because…the straps just are not long enough. With the horizontal straps in place, when it came to lifting, the vertical lifting straps were about half the length seen in similar circumstances in the second photo, even with the hand loops adjusted to give the straps maximum pull length.In my single use of the Pro-Lifter - the purpose for which I purchased it – it was used to lift the plant in the first photo (a Euphorbia canariensis) while in the smaller gray pot, for transplanting into the larger brown pot. The strap was positioned just below the bottom ridge near the top of the gray pot. The pot diameter at that point was 21inches, for a calculated circumference of 66 inches, or 5.5 feet. With the load being so top-heavy I was concerned that pot, plant and all, might tip over to the left or right and fall to the ground. That turned out to not be a problem, although it was lifted no more than a foot above the ground and moved only two feet to get it onto a low cart.We could not have lifted the pot without the Pro-Lifter. Because: a) it was very heavy; b) one could not get a good grip on the rim; and, c) with the spread of the plant – with its sticker studded branches that are much too stiff to tie back and which will profusely bleed latex sap at the slightest injury - being considerably wider than the pot, one could not stand close enough to lift it.I am convinced that at some point in the production of the Pot-Lifter the manufacturer reduced the length of the flexible straps. I conclude that based on my experience and by observation of the third photo wherein a tree in a 30-36 inch nursery box is lifted. The horizontal straps encircle the box where each side is approximately 24 inches wide - or a circumference of 8 feet - and the lengths of the hand/lifting straps in the photo are just about what they were when my pot was grabbed at its 5.5 foot circumference.Bottom line: Pro-Lifter DOES work and simple to use, but it may not lift YOUR large pot.Incidentally, Pro-Lifter comes in 2 models, the other being rated at less weight and costing about half the price of this model – both available through Amazon.It was hard to adjust straps but made it work.
