I don't know of any car dollies that you can drive onto. The only
ones I know of that don't require jacking are go-jaks and their
clones. Go-jaks are great, but expensive. They, and all of
the dollies I am familiar with, have casters. I have never heard of
dollies with rollers. An asphalt floor would definitely be a
problem for most dollies with casters. Any with high quality
casters are awesome on a truly flat concrete floor. As the floor
surface gets rougher, they get much harder to use. Note, I said
high quality casters. Many dollies come with terrible casters,
especially any of the cheap Chinese ones. <br><br>
For boat trailers I have used jacks like this: <br><br>

I have considered mounting another pair at the rear end of the trailer
for maneuvering in situations like yours. I haven't ever tried it,
though. They aren't too expensive, though, if you want to give that
a try. My trailer is open. This may not make sense for an
enclosed trailer. <br><br>
People have been maneuvering trailers and cars using floor jacks for
ages. Of course, that doesn't work too well on a rough surface
either. <br><br>

<font size=2>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.</font> <br><br>
<font size=2>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.</font> <br><br>
<font size=2>Here are my concerns...</font> <br><br>
<font size=2>1 Getting the trailer on and off the dollies (do I need to
jack it up or can I drive them on them.)</font> <br><br>
<font size=2>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.)</font> <br><br>
<font size=2>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?</font>
