That reminds me of my garage. Except we don't have wheel roller thingy's. Works good too (at least when we sell the house we can say it has a 3 car garage! :lol: ).

At least they are all out of the weather now.

I've been thinking about this for when I get my van on the road. How much weight is each wheel rated for? and do you just jack up the car and slide the trolleys under the wheels?

I have been cleaning up in my garage to try and fit things in better. At the moment I have three cars in the garage. Two on the floor and one hanging from the roof.

Weight rate was not a issue,as only pushing sideways on rollers a short distance.Yes jack up with trolley jack a slide under wheels.

I had an alternate solution to the moke parking problem. We poured the concrete on the ramp on Saturday.

Mokesta will back up there out of the way of the mini, mx-5 and Ashtray.

great day for this thread

I've just rung to get a quote to put roller doors on the short end of the garage. at the moment we have a single width sliding door on one end of a long side and can only fit 3 ADO16's - with a roller door on the short end we'll fit 4 easily :wink:
