Car/wheel dollies for moving cars around the garage

[Triplegreen500]

So, I have one set already that I got at Carlisle years ago. Looking to get another set (mainly because where I have to put one of the cars for the winter, I can't get one side out...and I'll need to move another car after that one). HF has them as low as $99/ea...I'd swear I paid much less than that at Carlisle (and I got the storage stand with them) - did I miss a huge price increase? Or am I remembering wrong? Anyone have a source that's less expensive than the $99/each? I can pony up if needed, but I hate to if they're out there for much less than that.

Talking about these:

no jack required, self-loading - the rollers squeeze together as you pump the pedal, and lift the wheel that way.

I don’t think you are going to find them less than that although I did see Harbor Freight has some on sale for $85 but expires in two days. My mechanical pump up HF models have held up well - don’t know about the hydraulic ones.

I have this set, which are a step up from the Pittsburgh ones, and they work very well. The Daytona dollies are rated for an 11" tire, but a 12" fits. The coupons and sales usually don't apply to the Daytona line, but these do go on sale from time to time.

I don't bother with the ones with the Jack's on them, I have multiple floorjacks, i don't need em. I use the one-up-from-cheapest harbor fright ones. The cars are still a little difficult to move (the casters don't pivot and roll very easily) but that is what comealongs and winches are for.
I've currently got a set in use under a 6500lb dually, and a 2500 lb opel.

I agree 33. I've currently got a set in use under a 6500lb dually, and a 2500 lb opel.

I have a couple of sets of the HF static dollies. They work fine. You just need to take a little time to shove the car around to get the casters oriented. What the hell is the rush? You're moving a classic car around for christ's sake. Take your time.
Plus the HF dollies work great for wheeling transmissions, diffs, blocks, etc. around when a car isn't on them.
I could never see the logic in the jack types. Useless unless you have a stable of show ponies that all you need to move around once in a while. But even then, they're over priced for the purpose IMHO.

Four cars in a two car garage. One has to be pushed to the side against the wall to get the 4th in.

Thanks, I think I understand now. Rent storage?
You're in Arkansas, how harsh can the weather be? Choose a scab or two that get to live outside perhaps?

Pffft !! You think you're slick, eh ? I can fit a case of beer on a fridge rack where 2 gallons of milk once sat.............

Little rusty. Are those 11"x 3" brakes?

And, here I thought I was slick getting 3 cars in a 2 car garage. Guess with 2 hoists I could get 4 but no where to move....

I don't see where this has any relevance to beer.

I like the HF ones I bought a few years ago.
Allowed me to put 2 cars in a 1 car shop space.
There is a limitation on tire width. Too much more than 8 inches (IIRC) and the overhang is not on the jack part.
IIRC mine were on sale for $68 which made all four cost about what 2 would have cost at MSRP.

Oops , quoted wrong reply. It was supposed to be on reference to the 4 cars in a 2 car garage reply.

You can see the Cobra over against the wall past the Lightning - which has now been replaced by a 66 Hemi Satellite. Not thinking about parking any of these outside for the thieves.
