Omnia Plant Glider

Moving heavy potted plants around the backyard or balcony is a pain in the lower back — No More — Oh! Hello Dolly.

Rotacaster and D+I have worked to design and develop — The Plant Glider — a unique radial potted plant dolly that offers superior load stability, multi-directional movement and rotation utilising patented Omnia Wheel technology. The conceptual development of the Plant Glider saw all aspects examined in respect to the end product environment, product usability, appearance, configuration, operation, ergonomics, processes of manufacture, assembly and usability. Plant Glider’s revolutionary new wheelbase allows users to move heavy pot plants (up to 90kg) easily — confidently gliding over decks, joints, tiled and paved areas every time without fail. The six-wheel radial design gives the plant dolly unrivalled load stability and directional control. Built for a lifetime — Plant Glider features a strong, impact resistant, low profile injection moulded glass-filled polypropylene body, a continuous rubber non-slip ring to help keep pots in place, and the infamous corrosion-resistant all polymer + stainless steel Omnia wheels.

Minimalist Aesthetics

Plant Glider's minimalist radial aesthetic doesn't overshadow or detract from the beauty of the plants and pot materials (terracotta, stone, ceramic + more).

Smooth Moves

Glides over semi-rough surfaces without tipping over: Confidently glides over decks, joints, tiled and paved areas every time without fail.

No Brakes Required

No brakes, though dolly doesn't roll. No more forgetting or fiddling around with a brake, it doesn’t need one on normal cross falls.

Full circle.

Striking styling: The Plant Glider demanded a minimalist visually pleasing aesthetic that wouldn’t overshadow or detract from the beauty of the plants and pot materials (terracotta, stone, ceramic + more). The aesthetic was developed into a distinct + minimalist design language representative of a high-perceived value solution appealing to major global markets that could be carried across to future products in the Omnia Garden product range.

Built to last.

Optimised DFM: Plant Glider demanded a design that was optimised for users, manufacture and distribution. The unique radial design of the product has been developed for ease of use + manufacture using assembly techniques that are simple, reliable and cost effective which lead to a superior offering and product lifetime. Built Tough: Plant Glider has been built strong, is impact resistant + fully corrosion-resistant.
