I had a situation very similar to yours.  What I ended up doing was to
mount a 5000# D ring at the back of the garage and attaching a snatch block
to that.  Then I used a winch on my tow vehicle to pull the project in and
out of the garage.  To pull out, just hook up directly and pull.  To pull
in, hook to the front of the project, through the snatch block and pull.
The D-Ring was small enough and mounted all the way against the back wall,
so it was never in the way and I didn't have to worry about hooking and
unhooking.

I'd do exactly what you suggest, John--anchor a loop/ring/anchor to the
slab and use that.

I saw that because my garage has evidence of one of the walls having been
pulled off the foundation. I'm not sure how they did that, but I got to fix
it.

Actually, I know *how* they did it--a gigantic D-ring mounted around a
length of bar stock bolted through several of the studs with a manual winch
attached to that. What I don't know is what on earth they were winching on
and how they thought that was a good idea.

It was a pain to get the sill plate squared back up onto the slab.
