These are very fast and easy to use.

If you don't like them, return them.

I just got the other Pittsburg ones that have no hydraulics, same Harbor Freight store.
I love the fact that you just slide them round the wheel and use your foot to raise up the car.
Still heavy to move....but it can be done.

I also have, many times, used furniture dollies with blocking to get the wheels off the ground for longer storage cars...its seems to help the rubber hold air for more than a few years.

Sold three beetles and a 911.
Moved 6 cars to do that...tired, but I got it done.

I made four these for a few buck's with harbor freight dolly's
these work just as good as the more expensive metal ones. cost $7.99 each support 1000lbs per wheel and can still be used to move furniture with ease.


when I am changing an engine I remove chock and put it on top of two cement blocks to keep car from rolling off. Be careful when lifting sides of 914 with floor jack and 2x6 , because the floor jack moves when lifting and can tip the cement blocks !!!

I have been thinking about the EZ lift but didn't know how it would work for the 914. Thanks for the info I am definitely going to buy one!
