moving immobile car

[Durham Fiesta]

need to strip my car down of all suspension steering etc to paint the bay, but still need to be able to move the car around as will need moving in and out of the garage. I've seen the stands on wheels that are in machine mart but don't wanna pay 80 quid for one. Anyone got any other ideas???

axle stands with skateboards under them?

 

sorry, not very useful i know

[Mr Sam]

heres my engine scateboard, you could make one with the wheels pointing the other way

 

might need bigger castors which would be about £4 each (from machine mart)

[over_head_cam]

A couple of engine skates would do it. Each one a square of 1" ply about 18" square with a castor on each corner. Sorted

I have got a big square angle iron frame which has castors on. I've welded axel stands on to raise it up a bit.

[Mr Sam]

thats waht i was on about but forgot to add the picture

 

 

just point them the other way round, or use full 360 degree rotary ones on each corner like a shopping trolley

just had an idea, gonna get a frame made up with castors on each corner, that'll hold a pallet so the car can rest on that

[Mr Sam]

4 big castors and a good strong pallet and your laughing, top idea

 

i can see some fun in this

Go round the back of the local superstore pinch one or two of thier roll pallets/roll cages, cut the sides off and your done

i've used a plastic ones for winching cars with no wheels on me truck for years

We used a cut down shopping trolly chassis to move Kev's thunder saloon

The trolleys that they use for wheeling bread crates around are ideal too

would a plastic bread pallet thing be strong enough???

[emu]

thats what I was thinking of up there ^^^^^^^^

Should be plenty strong enough, rolled a capri around on one before now.

[Durham Fiesta]

think gonna have to go out on the lookout for one. If i don't post again i've been beaten up by a gang of spotty sainsburys employees (no offence meant if anyone works in sainsburys )

I use i plastic bread pallets in the truck (save weight) the small ones (aprox 24 by 18 inches with the large wheels) but thick plastic, in the garage i have a big metal bread pallet (small wheels) with a wooden floor for an engine mover and at me storage i have the full on big bugger , a B&Q trolly it helps having a recovery truck to "collect" them ones though

A pump pallet truck and a blue pallet or 3 is the rolls royce of car movers

i'm off on a mission this afternoon to see if i can liberate something that will be of use to me lol i'll keep you posted on what i can find
