    I have quite a few Patio containers and I'm on the lookout for a trolly or Sack truck to help move them around and also double as a barrow. Any good products you know of?:)

    Obvious choice would be an actual wheel barrow?

    God i think i've seen something like that. It converts to a sack truck or trolley and I think it has a plastic bit so u can use it like a wheel barrow. Let me see if I can find it

    Have you bought it yet Pal.

    Of course it depends entirely how big your pots are and I'm not trying to tread on LMRR's toes, but.

    I have had one similar to that for quite a while and not found it to be quite up to the job.

    Sure its OK for quite light loads, but I can lift them.

    Anything a bit weighty and it struggles.

    Price also comes into it of course, but I've just bought myself a sack barrow for £34, its got pump up tyres (would have said pneumatic but I cant spell it) and pretty strong.
    It also has a good strong axle which is what you need to put your foot on when tipping it back.

    They also do the kind your looking for, but they are a bit pricey.

    Go on treat yourself," because your worth it":D

    :D Excellent choice Pete:D...if I lived in a first floor home:D
    No really, that was one I looked at but the cost was prohibitive and I really don't need one that climbs stairs:)
    My plot is even and I am thinking in the future....when I is old and weak:D
    I have ordered the one I highlighted and hope it's the one that will see me out:lollol:

    There's this device that was invented especially for moving large pots. You don't have to lift it on - just wheel the thing up to the pot and click-click, it's fastened on and you just tip it and wheel.

    Daises, the wheels being plastic tend to break on those.

    IMO a decent sack truck is the best solution, bolt a squre of ply to the base plateso as to widen the load area.
