Default Wheel skates

I've only just found out about these recently bloody brilliant £55 a corner and can roll a car into any space any angle
just what I need for packing them in for storage





And the most important move I needed was getting the road gtr in the bay of the garage that has no door, simply couldn't of got it in there without the dolly's so well chuffed

It was hard shunting the gtr on the plastic wheels, I hadn't thought of that I guess rubber wheels will roll much easier

Where did you get them at that price bud?,
Any idea if you could store the car on them long term as I'd want to push one side hard to wall so couldn't get them out after it was against the wall

Is there no mech to lock them in the raised position ?

For longer term storage, there are cheaper dollies with a flat/curved floor for the tyre which would be a lot better. Although you need to set the car on them as opposed to them jacking the car up.

It's still a heavy car lol

Although some castors are definitely better than others. If they're crappy ones you could buy some better ones and bolt them on
