I put 4 under a Cuda.....I could move the rear of the car around without too much trouble but the front was pretty much a no-go, at least by myself. Big block car. Sold em to a guy with Porsche’s and a Miata, they work great for him.

Once you get some weight on them they deflect enough that the casters don't work good. The ones that have the foot pedal to jack them up are pretty decent. I have a set of four of those and no complaints. Even under some pretty heavy vehicles.

I took 5 of the $12 wood movers dollies, took 1 apart and put two more of the swivel wheels under 4 of them to make four each into 6 swivel wheel ones, and this works well. The steel ones I use for my engine blocks. I just welded some steel strap on so the blocks sit square. They roll around real well.

I put them under the Dart as it just sits with low miles. So close to one wall. I pushed it over so I could work on it No Go. I did better with a floor jack. I may try the larger ones but those were junk. Would not move!
