<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">My concern here would be trying to move the car on jack stands with wheels.I would be less worried about the car moving around accidentally.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I have two four-post lifts (Backyard Buddy) that have wheels you can attach and move the lifts with a car lifted.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Two issues I see trying to do this with jack stands:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">1) The wheels on the lifts are large in diameter (over 10") and need to be in order to move the substantial weight over any chips or cracks in the concrete. With these very large wheels, it is quite easy for one many to move the lift around the garage with a car lifted on it. I think it would be difficult to do so with smaller wheels. In order to move diagonally, they also would need to be casters.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">2) The wheels on the 4-post lifts are firmly attached to the lift, and when you apply sufficient lateral force to the lift and car to move it, you are moving the lift with the car on it, all four wheels are locked into the lift. With wheeled jack stands, you would need to apply lateral pressure to the car and I would be concerned that the wheeled jack stands would catch on some irregularity on the floor, or just bind for some reason, stop moving and tip over from the lateral movement, dropping the car.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Maybe I am missing something here, but I do not think I would try this with jack stands. Perhaps a scissors lift with wheels where the wheels are attached to the platform could work?. I think four separate jack stands each with their own wheels would be a most unstable proposition to try to move safely.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Aug 6, 2024 at 10:29 AM <<a href="mailto:alfuller194@gmail.com">alfuller194@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg4220231486391680210"><div lang="EN-US" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="m_4220231486391680210WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">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.
