[Shop-talk] Wheeled Jack Stands?

[alfuller194 at gmail.com]

It sounds like a great idea in principle, but as I think it through - I'm
pretty sure I wouldn't want to work under a car that was up on a platform
that could move. Any casters good enough to provide easy movement of a multi
thousand-pound vehicle would likely move easily when you start applying
torque to parts. [Yes, you could use locking casters - but then you are
betting everything on the locks.]

 

I have used GoJak brand car dollies, and its amazing how readily the car
will move when on them!  You still need regular jack stands for when you
need to get under the vehicle, but for moving vehicles around they cant be
beat.

Anyone have/use wheeled jack stands?

 

Did you make them or buy them? 

 

I did a quick online search and the little I found were homemade. I would
prefer to buy something heavy duty that rolls very easily as the car will
need to be on them over winter while I swap the entire rear end. 

 

Thanks
