[Taz]

Does anybody use wheel dollars in their garages?

They look a bargain

I have the SGS hydraulic ones, they're brilliant.

Cheap that! Although you still have to lift the car onto them. I looked at the "other" type with a hydraulic lift built in, just slide under wheel and press pedal to lift the car, BUT they were about £500 a pair!

I couldn't make those for that price! - ORDERED!!

Yes the hydraulic 1s look great but too expensive

On sale at £212 for 4 they're an absolute bargain.

Really handy just to fift the car up and get a full size jack under it.

Why not Pete?

Its near impossible to move. I feel I could bend a panel if I push any harder. Definitely can't push is backwards. In a circular manner it will move

Almost feels like the hand brake is on

It is all in the wheels. I made my own for the tractor appliances and that is really easy to move, despite the weight about the same as the Z. The wheels just swivel very easily, and it looks like the ones on what you have are not that easy to move then.

I will contact sgs and ask about the wheel design/quality

How disappointing :|
I imagined the car gliding around with minimum effort

The wheels look small hard plastic which will stub to any tiny undulation in the floor, I’d suggest a rubber wheel would ride imperfections without stubbing. The plastic wheels would probably only work on billiard table smooth floors.

A shame given the outlay.
