What the heck are these things called???

I'm looking for something to help move my rig around the garage. They're like a square metal frame with castors. You jack the vehicle up and put one of these things under each wheel and then you can just push the vehicle around. I've seen 'em used on the V8 Supercars etc.

Anyone know what these things are called? And where I could get some?

Kinda hard to push it sideways. I'm trying to fit 2 cars in a 1 car garage.

two trolley jacks, very easy to get and very easy to use. We used to use them to shuffle 4 minis around a garage

Vehicle positioning stands or jacks if fitted with jack.
Can make your own using 4 wheels and a 3x1 steel frame.

They are called GO JACKS and are a snap on product last time i bought a pair they were about $250 each. trolley jacks are cheaper ,more usefull but dont work as well in confined spaces. they are real strong we used them for pushing around 50-60's caddy's and buicks

Cheezy has some of these and they weren't $250 each, they were cheaper. I'll ask him where he got them if he doesn't answer here himself. One thing is though they don't open big enough to fit most 4b tyres, I know Cheezy's don't fit 33s, not sure about 31s.

Repco carry them damo, most / all panel beaters use them...very handy. Just ask to look through their tools / machinery catalogue, saw them in there the other day.
