How to Load Your Pot onto the Plant Glider

From loading your pot correctly to caring for it over time.

One of the best things about the Plant Glider? There’s no assembly and no complicated setup.

Simply:
- Place your Plant Glider on a flat surface
- Centre your planted pot carefully on top
- Ensure the base of the pot sits evenly within the Glider’s platform

That’s it — you’re ready to glide.

Cleaning & Caring for Your Plant Glider

Plant Gliders are built to last and require very little maintenance.

To keep yours performing beautifully:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth when needed
- Remove debris (grit, stones, leaves) from around the wheels
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners
- Occasionally check underneath for built-up dirt

Because the Plant Glider is made from durable polymers, it won’t rust or corrode, even with outdoor use.

As Your Plants Grow…

Plants don’t stay small forever — and neither should the weight capacity of your Glider.

If you currently use a 50kg Plant Glider and your potted plant becomes heavier over time, consider the Conversion Kit (50kg to 90kg) 
It's simple and easy to upgrade to a 90kg capacity. With easy-to-follow instructions, you'll be gliding your heavier pots in no time.
 

The 90kg Glider offers:
- Greater load capacity
- Even smoother movement
- Improved performance on uneven surfaces
- The most scratch-free glide indoors

Use the following table to determine the weight capacity of your glider and which conversion kit you might need.  Or, in the unlikely event that you need to replace the rollers on the 50kg capacity Plant Glider, or the axles on either the 90kg or 50kg capacity, this is available to you as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a 50kg and 90kg Plant Glider?

50kg Plant Gliders feature three omni wheels and three simple roller wheels, designed to move pot plants weighing up to 50kg. Take a closer look at a 50kg model.

90kg Plant Gliders feature six omni wheels and are designed to move pot plants weighing up to 90kg. Take a closer look at a 90kg model.

The 90kg Plant Glider will also provide the smoothest move on uneven surfaces with cracks and gaps, on decks, and a scratch-free glide on indoor floors. 

The 30cm 50kg, and 90kg Plant Gliders are identical in their dimensions and colour options. The larger 40cm Plant Glider has the same colour options, but is bigger, with a 40cm diameter, for larger pots.

What’s the secret to the Plant Glider’s smooth movement under heavy pot plants?

The secret is in the patented omni wheel base.

Omni wheels offer 360° movement in a highly stable, smooth, and intuitive way.

Omni wheels don't need to turn like standard wheels or swivel like a caster wheel. Instead, they respond to force applied on any 360° vector through a set of heavy-duty rollers that sit parallel to the core base wheel. It's kind of like a series of extra wheels positioned parallel to the main wheel.

Omni wheels have a myriad of applications and are the preferred choice for robotics where human-like or intuitive movement capability is essential.

When omni wheels are applied to a Plant Glider, you have access to some of the most advanced wheel technology in the world, and your pot plants are in for the glide of their life!

How can I work out what my pot plant weighs?

To purchase a Plant Glider with confidence, it helps to have a pretty good idea of how much your pot plants weigh. This will determine whether you need the 50kg model or the 90kg.

To help, we've put together a visual guide with a variety of pots and plants. Simply identify the pot type/dimensions, soil amount and plant size that most closely match yours, to estimate roughly how much your pot plant might weigh.

You can access the Pot Plant Weight Guide here.

After doing this, if you are still unsure, email us at sales@omniawheel.com - we’re here to help. 

Which Plant Glider is best for indoor use?

For indoors, we recommend the 90kg Plant Glider for a scratch-free glide. 

To be safe, we recommend you test the Plant Glider (loaded with a pot plant) in an inconspicuous area before rolling elsewhere.

Please take particular care when testing the product before use on softwood and plastic wood composites such as Modwood, which can be prone to marking.

What's the difference between the new and the old Gliders?

The next generation Plant Glider builds on everything customers loved about the original, with thoughtful improvements shaped by real feedback. The new range includes the original 30cm size plus a new, larger 40cm option, designed for bigger pots with a higher load capacity. Both sizes deliver the same smooth, effortless movement and stability you’ve come to rely on.

The new generation has also been redesigned to be lighter, more affordable, and more sustainable, using 25% less plastic while maintaining the same strength, durability, and beautifully simple design. In short, it’s the same trusted performance - refined, improved, and now available in more sizes to suit your space.

Here’s some more information about the next generation Plant Gliders. 

Will you be releasing square Gliders?

At this stage, we don’t have plans to release square Plant Gliders. Our round Plant Gliders work perfectly under square pots, and look great too. For larger rectangular planters, many customers find that using two Gliders provides excellent support and effortless movement. This flexible approach allows you to move different pot styles easily without the need for multiple Glider shapes.

What's the safest way to get my heavy pot onto the Plant Glider?

Safety first – always ask for help if you need it! To load independently: carefully tilt the pot to one side, push the Plant Glider underneath with your foot (keeping hands clear), then slowly lower both together. Once down, hold the pot and use your foot to stabilise the glider while you centre the pot. It's that simple!
