I had some of the hydraulic pump up ones, but they tended to squeeze the 10” tyres instead of lifting them, so I had to jack it up anyway
The rollers also cracked after leaving the mini on them for a few weeks, so they are probably best to have the load removed for long periods
I bought some of the simple dished dollies and they've worked great. They can also be pushed inwards till the sidewall of the tyre is flush, so they don’t stick out like the other type
Dollies!

Re: Dollies!
Well these were just perfect for the job, next day delivery, well priced, pushing a Mini around the garage is now a doddle (on concrete). Thanks Tim.Oneball wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2023 6:30 pm I’ve got these. Work great on a 600kg Mini with 4.5” tyres and a 1200kg Vette with 12” rubber. I can move both single handed.

As above you have to jack the car on to them but they have the advantage over the “inbuilt jack” type that you can leave the car on there without risk to your tyres. My garage floor is pretty smooth but they do have largish metal wheels
