Car skates

[Backseatdriver]

Does anyone use these in their garage for shifting the car about. Do you rate them please?

I do I have a couple of the machine mart ones which are cheap, good value and are really helpful for moving my Westfield if I need to get to the back of the garage. I use 4 of the the proper type for the Tamora the ones with the foot pump these are great but are expensive compared to the machine mart items.

The machine mart items needs you to jack the car up put the skate underneath & lower the viechle. With with the foot pump type you slip the skate either side of the tyre pump the pedal and it raises that wheel very quickly.

Machine Mart


You can get these from machine mart,tool station etc £55 pair

Shop round for these mine were £100

Many thanks - think we will go for the foot pump type.

I had some spare wheels left, bought some wood and this is what I built:



Works really well, but the garage floor should be in a good state.
