Car mover thingy?

[shithotfast]

Not sure what its called, but need to move the ultima to the edge of the garage to get another car in, its not possible to "drive" the car into the space, but if it were on some kind of dolly, mini-wheels type thingy, I can push the car into the gap. Bit like a large version on the thingy you put under washing machines to move them around without getting a hernia!

Anyone got one? know where to buy one?

make a couple! just need 4 large castor wheels and some square tube to make a frame up, or as I have double up and make 2 smaller ones so you can move engines about on them when they are not shifting cars etc.

Demon Tweek sell things called Gojaks which is what I think you're after:

Most of the big race teams seem to have them for wheeling cars about in the paddock. They are quite pricey though when you consider you need 4 of them.

bloody rediculous price, plus as it's for an ultima I'd question if they are large enough for the rear wheels to sit in (unless you are doing a 1.6 pinto powered ultima )

I have the gojacks. I have the small ones for the front tires and the large ones for the back. The front ones work if you open the front hood. I have not yet figured out how to get the big ones on the back tires, but I think if you take them apart and then fit them around the tire it should fit. The problem is the car is so low and the body panels are a close fit. I have placed them on other cars (with more ground clearance) and they work great.

Not sure if you guys have Harbor Freight over there but you can get a set of those wheel dolly's pretty affordable.

Just found a pair in aluminum instead of steel.

Or just bounce it into the space!

Another option is carefully using two trolley jacks.

From what has been said it would seem the gojaks may not work due to the ground clearance.
If you don't mind jacking the car up then both Northern Tool and Machinemart do a dolly you slide under the jacked wheel. About £44 per pair. They also look like they will take the width of a rear tyre.

Could you set a pair of these into your garage floor.
