I did something very similar when I brought home a 2056/4 in my volvo xc70 wagon.... I had the engine strapped to a furniture dolly and slid it up/down a SINGLE aluminum ramp. The wheels of the dolly hung down and straddled the ramp and it was all actually very solid/secure feeling while sliding on the dolly's frame. Then, once on the ground it rolled around nicely of course.

Each rated for 500lbs. The steel frames bent. I then slid in two HF wood furniture dollies and they were fine. The car was only 3" off the ground so I could afford to experiment but I was surprised at the results. HF took back the steel dollies. |
