RaceDeck tiles when using a Snowmobile Lift

Is anyone using the typical parallelogram snowmobile lift that rolls on 4 small diameter wheels with RaceDeck flooring?

I am concerned about how easily the lift will be to move with a sled on it and if damage to the tiles would be a problem.

I am not sure what exactly your lift looks like, but I have two snowmobiles that I move around on a cradle type device that has small casters and it works great

Thank you for your reply Jorgen. What is the diameter and width of the wheels on the casters?

I'll try to post a picture of the snowmobile lifts I have.

Pics of snowmobile lift. (It is pictured with a scrap piece of plywood doing double duty as a roll around work surface!)

The fixed wheels are 3.5" diameter and 1" wide. The caster wheels are 2.5" diameter and 1-1/4 wide. The lift needs to be rolled around when a snowmobile (easily 500-600 pounds) is on the lift. Any guess on how easily/difficult this would be on RaceDeck Diamond or FreeFlow? (It is very easy on the bare concrete.) Any concern with damage to the tiles?

you should have no issue with a snowmobile on those casters
