Landscaping Projects: I need another big slider for moving my large heavy potted plants

Friday, September 30th, 2011

We received a call yesterday from NL, who lives just south of Yosemite National Park in California. Needless to say, she works in a sloped, rocky area.  She’s in her 60s living alone and enthusiastically told us that even though she’s getting weaker, she’s going to be able to continue gardening, moving heavy potted plants and heavy landscaping rocks…moving heavy stuff by herself, and placing them exactly where she wants them.

She’s showing us how to make landscaping projects easier by using the BigSlider™ small appliance mover to slide 100 lb pavers and heay potted plants in to place on rocky slopes. Two years ago, we upgraded her from a YardPal to the Small Appliance mover due to the rocks she landscapes on. Now, she’s finally ready for another one.

NL says her Small Appliance Mover is a “miracle worker” and “there’s no way I could’ve done without it. BigSlider turns ‘impossible’ jobs into just ‘hard’ jobs.”

Way to go NL – keep up the good work!

BigSlider™ helped move a carpet roll when the forklift was broken

Monday, August 1st, 2011

One of our customers needed to make delivery of a 700 lb carpet roll at Lowe’s when their forklift was broken. He needed to stay on his delivery schedule. Solution? Fortunately he had BigSlider™ utility mover on the delivery truck. They combined a pallet jack with his BigSlider™ Professional model to get the heavy carpet roll delivered.

So…BigSlider™ utility mover has officially gone from the “When nothing else will work“* moving tool to the “When other stuff is broken” moving tool!

Have a safe and productive day, Jeri

*Excerpt from a “When nothing else will work” story…”At first I was not sure what to do with the Big Slider, but now I’m really impressed with it because it worked where nothing else would. There were only two ways we could have moved those logs, a tractor which would have tore up the yard, or the Big Slider. I’m glad I chose Big Slider. It’s a great tool. Thanks for your amazing product.” — MB, TX

“The Big slider is very useful, I am glad to have it. I used it the other day to lay on while sliding under my car to put on a fastner, it protected me from the ground and made it easier to slideeeeeeeeeee.”

Easily move heavy potted fruit trees

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

“The project went very well. I moved two potted fruit trees that were at least 500 pounds without a problem or a mark on the pavers. I was impressed not sure it would withstand the weight. A great item to have on hand.”

How to Move Heavy Stuff with Mag Ruffman

Easily move heavy load of branches

Moving a big load of branches

Mag Ruffman from ToolGirl.com recently showed how to move heavy stuff with BigSlider™ utility mover. Here’s what you’ll see in the video:

Move a heavy load of firewood; move a heavy potted plant; use it to stuff a bag full of detritus – then just remove it when you’re done; easy to load..and unload the car with heavy camping gear – especially joyful!…and drag your husband around when he’s King for the Day.

It’s an alternative to the wheel…and the wheelbarrow! Compare the handcart to BigSlider™ utility mover. “Simple and elegant…it’s a friction-reducer.” Slides over concrete, grass and wood – whatever you need to slide over. Turns on a dime!

Thanks Mag for the great demo! Here’s another link to the show…

Dolly, hand truck and wheelbarrow won’t work | Easily move concrete blocks!

Monday, November 15th, 2010

“Hi and thanks!
Sunday I am picking up 60 – 85lb concrete blocks. The loading will be fairly easy but the delivery is far more complicated since I have to move them over 50+ feet of grass (including downhill over irregular terrain.) Using a traditional dolly simply is not doable.”

And, another note from our new home owner in Nova Scotia who is also moving piles of wood chips around his rocky, hilly property…

“This is the reason I thought of the Big Slider. We have so many rocks to move over rough terrain that a wheel barrow would have been a pain.

Even when its loaded to the max. weight, the Slider just flows over the other rocks like a wave.

Regards, AB”

Wow – we love that BigSlider™ heavy duty tray is riding the rocks in Nova Scotia! Thanks for sharing your story and photos, AB! Jeri
