I do not have one, since my largest pots are 15 gallons and I don't move anything anyway. However, I suggest a high end, 2-wheel dolly made for accommodating big containers/pots.

It's not this one necessarily, but something close to it.

It's just an idea.

One of the better ideas I have heard is to put the pots on a wagon and then just move the wagon.  If this is possible, it would be much less of a chore to move them.
