Alright guys.
I Need to find a way to move a car with no suspension around my shop. Usually i just use a couple of jacks and then jack it up and move it around but that requires several guys to help me out.


I was thinking of using some time of flat board or something that i can slide under the car and it would have some kind of wheels that would allow the car to be move around yet not damage the underbody of the car and have the car move around without any effort.


has anyone seen something like this anywhere for sale? or know of a shop that might have something like this so i can ask them.

i need this asap its only a temporary thing.
so let me kno guys thanks.

or even links to places that sell them on the net or something would be perfect.

just make somethin outta wood with 4 casters on them and use 4 of them and place them at the lift/jack points...cheap, easy to make and always around when u need em...pretty much a similar design as the ones that go under the tires to move cars around shops

where would i be able to get wheels n crap to build something like that?

i was thinking of something like this



that way i can just put it in the middle and then move it around

it depends on the condition of the floar in ya shop the little casters wil not work 2 good itf its rough


and the trolly thing u wil only be able 2 go forward or backward


u need 2 get some hard rubber casters that swivel 360% if u make the board out of 3/4 ply and put the casters on the outside u wil be bale 2 lift the car onto the baord and it sit on the undercarage this will only work if the mufler or shifer is tucked up like stock cars


otherwise u wil have 2 make 4 little ones like the ones under the tires but flat and put them under the jack points


u wil have 2 make them tall enough so the drums dont drag on the ground


u can probly buy something like that at home depo or u could try princess auto they wil carry the casters and stuff
