Any wheel skate or dolly recommendations
I bought some cheaper wheel skate car dollies a few years back and they don't roll very well without a lot of effort. Moving 914 and 911 size cars. Anyone with any recommendations?
These come up on amazon with good reviews but very few of them. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBR463K/ref=sspa_dk_detail_6?psc=1#customerReviews

My son has four of these for moving his 914 around:

I think they are the GoJackers HF compares theirs to, but not sure. In any case, they are pretty convenient as you don't need to jack up the car to use them. They roll pretty nicely on his floor too, once the load is moving.

How much do you want to spend? Eastwood has several versions:

I use the Harbor Freight Tools version and they work very well.

I just bought the HF dollies in above link. They worked smoothly, seem well constructed and solid. I would also recommend chalking the dolly wheels as the cars can roll fairly easily once all four dollies are in place. Each dolly comes in a decent sized box and requires assembly. They’re heavier than I anticipated.

Since a lot of us also own motorcycles, this thing looks interesting.
