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.
