Two-Person Potlifter / Four-Person Prolifter

The Two-Person Potlifter is a two-handled ‘tool’ with straps that slip and automatically cinch around a large flower pot or other heavy object-e.g., rock, tree root ball, log, cement bag, hay bale-so it can be moved easily and in an ergonomically safe manner. The device can pick up most anything between 12 and 27 inches in diameter and weighing up to 200 pounds. (Also available is its ‘big brother,’ the four-person Prolifter, which can lift and move items measuring up to 34 inches in diameter and weighing 400 pounds.)

Cost: Potlifter-$30; Prolifter-$80
