Thinking about getting a set of wheel dollies.
I had some HF cheapos awhile back, they worked but had cast iron wheels and left scratches on the garage floor. Have seen some with what look like a rubber wheel but concerned they might flat spot. Interested in something simple and low tech, but well built and roll around easy. Not interested in the fancy ones with onboard hydraulics. |

I second the EZ car lift rollers. I first purchased a set of tradional car dolly's. I went with a "ball bearing" one, having had a non ball bearing set. Not much better. Still difficult to move with only one person. Any little dirt causes the wheels to skid. I sold them and went with an EZ Car lift found used for $900. I purchased he casters. Rolls very easy. In fact, don't lean agains he car if he casers aren' locked. No solution isn't without pros and cons. A con of the EZ is he cost. Also, the castors seem to interfere slightly with 911's tires. Haven't tried lifting conversely on a 911 though.
