thanks for replies.

I'm pretty sure it was your picture in another thread that gave me the idea that I could push mine sideways to the front of my two car garage. Heavy version / type with wheel brakes - where did you get those and how much $?

cvhs18472 asked:
Unless you are going to work on your car over the winter why do you have to get in the other side?

If I was to lower it back onto the tires, I would need to get between the wall and the tires to reach the lever.

I looked at Harbor Freight and only found these which look to be only 10" and $79 each.

Harbor Freight also has these wheel skates that I considered.



I like the dollies more than than skates cause I wouldn't need to jack up each wheel, slide in the skate. Never used the dolly or the skate yet, just thinking it would be easier.

thanks

I frankly forget where I got them and how much but here is a set on ebay for 4 for $165 shipped exactly like mine:

I considered the hydraulic type but figured that might be 4 more things (pumps) that I would have to potentially fail. It takes me all of 5 or so minutes to jack all four corners up and place the skates under each wheel. I hang them on pegs when not in use. These are VERY heavy gauge steel and much more substantial than what I have seen at HarborFreight.
