    Default Shop stands with wheels

    Who makes the roller stands that hold the car at the front and rear of the car that make it very easy to roll the car around the shop? Very interested having some of these made. I believe they support under the crossmember in the front and the bumper on the back or the under rail by the fuel cell on the back.

    I built my own, best thing I ever did, one guy can move the car anywhere. I over built a little bit but they hols the car fully dressed with no problem . I got the casters on ebay pretty cheap.

    I'm guessing you're talking about something similar in the new car pictures on this site?

    That is kind of a cool idea, don't think it'd be that hard to build them if you have access to a welder and a chop saw. Never seen anything like this for sale except in the sprint car world

    Asphalt Late Models use them all the time most guys call them chassis dolleys. Its nothing more then some box tubing and a heavy duty caster wheel

    I ran across this picture of a car stand/roller... I like the idea of the adjustable corners on it.

    i bought furniture dollies and screwed a piece of 3/4 plywood on the bottom side to give more strength. i set the wheels right on them for weekly moving around and for winter I put my jack stands on them and set the car on the jack stands which allowed me to move it way to the back corner of my shop. But ill be honest, it only stays there for about a week then I drag it back out and start working on it for next year

    It took a little while to figure out where to put the jack stand on the frame but after a while i figured out that i could use taller (heavier duty) on the fronts and the shorter ones on the rear and with the pickup points on the chassis the car was nice and level and i didnt have to extend the jack stands at all which I feel made the car more stable.

    I believe it was .125 but I don't remember for sure. It measured at or just shy of 1/8".
