📘 Overview
A plant pot mover that will not crush the container. The EZ Spot UR Pot Handler (EZ-0020) moves 45 to 200 gallon nursery pots — potted trees, shrubs and container stock — with jaws shaped to the taper of a nursery pot and set asymmetrically so pots load and unload cleanly. A release valve drops clamp pressure to as low as 250 psi so the pot is held without being crushed, and rubber bumpers add grip. Rated to 3,000 lb on an appropriately rated machine. On the Double Cylinder Rotating Base it turns 127 degrees to the operator’s left, which is how a nursery lays pots on their side ahead of a hurricane; the Fixed Non-Rotating Base and No Attachment Base options suit straight lift-and-place work. Then match the wiring harness to your machine.
⚙ Key Features of the Pot Handler
- Adjustable clamp pressure down to 250 psi via a release valve — the specific feature that stops a thin-walled container being crushed.
- Jaws shaped to a nursery pot taper, and asymmetric so pots are picked up and set down without fighting the shape.
- Rated to 3,000 lb with an appropriately rated machine.
- Handles 45 to 200 gallon pots as standard, with inserts available for 15 gallon stock.
- Two 2" x 6" clamp cylinders, each 9,425 lb breakout force.
- Rubber bumpers in the jaws add grip without marking the container; spikes are available where more grip is needed.
- Two jaw settings — opening is set by moving the clamp cylinder pins between two positions.
- Grade 50 steel or higher, core welded.
🔑 Why Operators Choose the Pot Handler
- Storm preparation in an afternoon — 127 degrees of rotation lays container stock on its side to stop wind damage, which is the single job that justifies the tool for most nurseries.
- One person loads and unloads what previously took a crew and a forklift with straps.
- Protects the container, not just the plant — adjustable pressure to 250 psi is what separates this from a general-purpose grapple.
- Covers the whole pot range from 15 gallon with inserts up to 200 gallon.
- Root-safe handling — a shaped jaw supports the pot rather than squeezing the root ball.

📋 Configuring Your Pot Handler
- Attachment Base — this decides whether you can lay a pot on its side. Double Cylinder Rotating Base gives 127 degrees of powered rotation to the operator’s left; Fixed Non-Rotating Base has no moving parts to maintain and indexes manually through 90 degrees; No Attachment Base supplies the tool head alone, for operators who already run an EZ Spot UR base. It is also the option to choose if you are replacing a worn tool head, or adding a second tool head to a base you already own — every EZ Spot UR head with a 3" square receiver swaps onto the same shaft with one 3/4" pin.
- Wiring Harness — the nine options below match the harness to your machine’s connector.
Every EZ Spot UR rotating attachment needs a wiring harness to switch the base from the machine's auxiliary circuit. Nine options are offered so the harness matches your machine: Universal Skid Steer Wiring Harness for most standard machines; 14 Pin Wire Harness for Cat, Bobcat, Kubota, John Deere, Case, New Holland and Takeuchi machines with a 14-pin connector; 8 Pin Caterpillar/ASV/TEREX Harness for those three brands; Single Pole 7 Pin Bobcat Electrical Harness for 7-pin Bobcat machines; 7 Pin Intermediate Harness and Intermediate Tool Wiring Harness where a tool-side intermediate lead is needed between the machine harness and the attachment; Cigarette Plug In Universal Wiring Harness where no auxiliary electrical connector is fitted and power is taken from the cab accessory socket; Radio Remote Assembly for Telehandlers for telehandler installations run without a cab harness; and None if you already hold a working harness for this machine.
🚜 Which Machines Take This Plant Pot Mover?
The Pot Handler attaches to skid steer loaders and compact track loaders equipped with a Universal Quick Attach (SSQA) system, including:
BobcatCaterpillarJohn DeereCaseNew HollandTakeuchiKubotaGehl
The machine must supply 20–30 GPM at 3,000 psi through an auxiliary circuit with ¾" flush-face couplings. Rated capacity is 3,000 lb, but your working limit is your machine’s rated operating capacity minus the weight of the attachment and base.
Compatibility is determined by mount type, not brand — confirm your machine’s quick attach configuration and auxiliary hydraulic flow before ordering. Everything needed to confirm fitment is on this page — add it to your cart to check delivered pricing for your address.
Freight note: inspect the crate before signing the carrier’s Bill of Lading. Note any damage on the delivery paperwork at the time of delivery — that record is what supports a carrier claim.
❓ Pot Handler Questions, Answered
What size nursery pots will the Pot Handler take?
The Pot Handler is designed for 45 to 200 gallon nursery pots as standard, and inserts are available to handle 15 gallon pots. Jaw opening is set by moving the clamp cylinder pins between two positions, giving 17.5 to 46.12 inches in the front position and 44 to 68.37 inches in the back.
Will the Pot Handler crush my containers?
No. The Pot Handler is fitted with a release valve that adjusts clamp pressure down to 250 psi specifically to prevent crushing, and the jaws carry rubber bumpers that grip without marking the pot. Spikes are available where extra grip is needed on heavier stock.
Can the Pot Handler lay pots on their side for storm preparation?
Yes, and it is one of the main reasons nurseries buy it. On the Double Cylinder Rotating Base the Pot Handler rotates 127 degrees to the operator's left, which is enough to lay container stock down ahead of a hurricane or high wind, then stand it back up afterwards.
Which attachment base should I choose?
The Double Cylinder Rotating Base powers the Pot Handler through 127 degrees to the operator’s left, which is what lets you position a load rather than simply carry it. The Fixed Non-Rotating Base does not rotate under power, has no moving parts to maintain, and can be indexed manually through 90 degrees. Choose No Attachment Base only if you already own an EZ Spot UR base with a 2.94" square shaft.
Which wiring harness do I need?
Match the harness to your machine's auxiliary electrical connector, not to the attachment. Choose the 14 Pin Wire Harness for a Cat, Bobcat, Kubota, John Deere, Case, New Holland or Takeuchi machine with a 14-pin connector, the 8 Pin Caterpillar/ASV/TEREX Harness for those brands, or the Single Pole 7 Pin Bobcat Electrical Harness for a 7-pin Bobcat. If your machine has no auxiliary electrical connector, the Cigarette Plug In Universal Wiring Harness powers the attachment from the cab accessory socket. The Universal Skid Steer Wiring Harness suits most other machines, the 7 Pin Intermediate Harness and Intermediate Tool Wiring Harness add a tool-side lead, and the Radio Remote Assembly for Telehandlers covers telehandler installs. Select None if you already own one.
What hydraulic flow does the Pot Handler need?
The Pot Handler runs on 20–30 GPM at 3,000 psi through a standard auxiliary circuit with ¾" flush-face couplings rated to a 15 ksi burst pressure. A high-flow machine is not required.
