Wheel Dollies--for ROUGH concrete

[Blue]

I've looked through some of the old wheel dolly threads, but haven't quite seen what I'm looking for....

The concrete slabs in my outbuildings were homemade--so they are kind of rough. I'd like to get some wheel dollies to move cars around, but all of the caster wheels I've seen look like they would easily get stuck in the rough concrete.

Does anyone make a dolly with inflatable wheels, or big casters? Either way, I'm thinking something with a wheel at least 6 inches in diameter.

Of all the dollies I've seen, I haven't seen any myself with air tires, but retrofitting some wouldn't be difficuly.

Wasn't there a thread on this subject a few months back?

Might be some ideas there but I don't recall any inflatable tire ideas that would work.

How rough is the concrete?

some of the red caster wheels seem to have some give to them -- I've not seen them quiet as big as 6 inches, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

I've seen some wheel/tire combos at my local salvage joint, and also at Home Despot -- 6 inches or so in diameter, seemingly intened for lawn tractors and the like -- I've no idea of they're rated at a high enough weight for you, but it might be worth a look . . .

I used some heavy duty 5" casters to make generic dollies and I moved my car with it. Really smooth and a lot cheaper than good quality wheel dollies. But since I don't have a welder, the frame is quite high but at the same time, I only move my car sideways two times a year.

You can see lots of casters at McMaster-Carr and Grainger. Make sure you get polyurethane wheels or they will wear out very quick on concrete...

Just buy the cheap ones from Harbor Freight & then substitute their small steel wheels for some larger ones - HF even sells larger wheels that'll work.

I seen wheels like that on 1 yard dumpsters. Look pricey!
