I have the hydraulic pump version of the floor dollies (http:// 
www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=94682)

as well 2 sets of the the Merrick dollies (http:// 
www.carolinaclassictrucks.com/Merrick_Machine.html)

I like the merricks' best, cheap, easy to use.  No cross bar to get  
in the way of jacking up just high enough to slide under the wheel.   
Both types roll exceptionally well. Too well, as a section of my  
workshop is on an incline; I would almost want a brake sometimes.

I would concur with the other' inspect the casters; I suspect you  
will find some that roll easier than others.  But the caster  
replacement kit indicated is pricey; It looks like you have to drill  
the plates for the stud, vs. just find a comparable plate topped caster.


Thanks
