Moving potted plants

Has anyone tried using the Worx Aerocart for moving potted plants up stairs onto a porch? I’m contemplating getting one but videos only show folks moving plants across level ground. I want something that will move large potted citrus up a few steps to the porch.

No it would not work well for that. You would need a barrel dolly for best results or a standard 2 wheeler dolly for next best. They both have air filled tires that will give to let you roll over the front edge of each step. The worx cart tires are solid and would be very difficult on each step's front edge.

When I move huge plants, I either use a dolly or get some help...not watering the plants for a few days really helps, and going up the porch stairs is a nightmare even with another person.

I use a 5 foot 2 by 10 as a ramp to jump 16 inches to get in my house.
