I purchased two power stations last week: the AC180 and the EB3A in case of power shortages. They will be stored in my home and used occasionally. I have no problem lifting and toting the EB3A, but the AC180 is very, very heavy for me. I managed to get it out of the box and charge it, but I’m having some electrical work done next week and want to move it to another part of my home. I looked online to see if there is a cart on wheels or something to move it, but the best is a luggage trolley. Why don’t they make these with wheels and a handle?
Good idea to request one with wheels and a handle. For your current power station: Get a small cart or hand truck for it to make it easier to carry.
Bluetti sells one but it’s more intended for the bigger power stations like the AC300/AC500 with additional batteries. It’s a big large and expensive for just transporting the AC180.
Bluetti does have a power station with wheels, the EP500 Pro. But it is a much larger and heavier unit then the AC180.
If you are struggling to move it there are lots of trolleys online that would make it a lot easier for you especially if you intend moving it around the house.
Hi @Ambimom, We value your feedback. Previously, we also tried developing products with wheels, such as the EP500PRO.
In fact, among all our product lines, the AC180 is not too heavy.
Thanks to @TheQuickFox and @Ktt for their professional responses. Yes, we have introduced our own trolley, but you can also choose trolleys offered by other sellers, which will make it much easier to use.
Hi, I have the same problem due to arthritis. I made a trolley for my AC180P using a chopping board and some industrial wheels, the materials cost about £20 from Ebay. I can easily push / pull it into which ever room it is needed in now
Thanks for the suggestions. Strangely enough, I purchased the power bank in case of power outages. Had one today completely by surprise. I have a heavy duty luggage carrier that I haven’t used in years. I used to travel a lot for my job before I retired. I ended up using the luggage carrier and extra strong bungee cords. I was able to move the unit from room to room. It’s still heavy, but it moves. I have no carpentry skills or tools and I’m retired on a very small pension. I’ve already spent quite a lot on the AC180 and EB3A. I’m just thrilled that these units worked like a charm.
Have you thought of using a planter mover on wheels? I have one under my 80 lb plant pot and can move it anywhere i want. I personally don’t find it too heavy for me, but i have friends with smaller units who find them heavy.
Put it in powerlifting mode.
Sry, I had to say it.
If you just need to move it one time to it’s final destination, try putting it in on a blanket and drag it.
I appreciate everyone’s suggestions…but
I’m 78 year old cancer survivor with multiple sclerosis. My mobility is limited. I use a cane, sometimes two canes.
I need this for home use in case of blackout. My solution is to use a heavy duty luggage carrier. It is still very heavy to pull, but I’ve managed. Not everyone needing these power stations is in their 20’s or physically nimble.
Here is something that I purchased from Amazon:

I use it for the larger AC200L and AC200Max, and I need to extend the wheels for that to fit. I would expect that it could work very nicely for the smaller AC180, and the handle would make it easier as well.
I fully understand. These units are HEAVY. I needed help to get my (Even heavier) B300 batteries up the stairs. And I got a special stair climber hand truck. Fortunately I got someone to help me. These things are not always easy when you live alone or when your body lacks a powerlifting mode.
Wow …this one actually might just do the trick! THANKS
There’s a variety of furniture/appliance moving dollys available on Amazon.
I keep my AC500 and 6 B300s batteries on them so I can easily move to clean behind them. Easy to push pull around unless you have thick carpeting, then you might need something with bigger wheels.
