[Shop-talk] Trailer storage idea

[eric at megageek.com]

I have an idea that I was wondering if anyone could let me know their 
opinion. 

I have a large dual axle car trailer.  I store it in a building and I need 
a fork-lift to maneuver it into it's storage space.

I was wonder if I could use a set of car dollies (the ones that go under 
the tires) to pull the trailer straight back onto them and the manually 
push the trailer laterally into it's spot so I wouldn't need to use the 
fork-lift.

Here are my concerns...

1 Getting the trailer on and off the dollies (do I need to jack it up or 
can I drive them on them.)

2 What is a good set of dollies?  (I only need to move it laterally, so I 
don't need a set with casters, just the ones with the rollers should be 
fine.)

3 Finally, the building has an asphalt floor.  I would imagine that the 
rollers would sink into them.  So I would need to get them on a wood 
plank.  What is the minimum thickest of plank to prevent sinking, but easy 
enough to roll the trailer onto?


Thanks!
