Car Skates or Car Dolly?

[WILMASBOYL78]

I bought some of the cheap ones and I'm not sure they will do the job. I put 4 of them under one of the Novas and it will barely move. Something doen't seem right to me. I have to take a closer look at the situation. Thaks, Tom.

Thanks for the replies.....it sounds like GoJak to me is the way to go, but ill wait for more feed back. I believe the move-ability is in the size of the rollers, and looks like the better ones use upto 4 in casters. GoJak's - at the 6000lb md go for 199.00 each - little pricey....but if compared to the ones of several hundred that do not move with the car on it.....they could be worth the money!

The one site above has free shipping, which is another bennie.

The GoJacks are not made for wide tire applications though...as in slicks.

The gojaks jack up each wheel themselves while the other ones just go under the wheel after you jack the car up. You see many tow companys using Gojaks when they need to position a car to where they can hook onto it.

I bought two of the cheap one's from Northern Hydraulics in Minnesota and they work fine the way I use them. I drive the front of the car as close to a wall as I can get it, jack up the rear, slip them under the rear wheels and push tight to the wall. I've used them on small cars and up to a 65 T-Bird and they work fine. Have not tried using them on all four wheels. They have held up for 7 or 8 years with no problems.

I have GO Jacks, moving around some Camaros and Mustangs, and they work very well with my fathers bic Cadillacs as well!

Got mine from Greg Smith Equipment in Indianapolis. Looked like an inexpensive way to go, but now I'm not sure. I'm going to call them and discuss my concerns. I'll keep you folks posted. Tom

Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this - looks like thru this site and a ferrari site the overwhelming view is to go with the GOJAK - I'm placing the order on Monday for 4 of the 6000lb units. Ill let you all know my feeling but im sure ill be pleased. Best i could do $$ is the GOJAK site - 199.00 each free shipping.

Thanks again for your thoughts.
