Here is a Rolling Hydraulic Car Lift offered by Griot's Garage www.griotsgarage.com
at
Set Of Two Rolling Hydraulic Car Lifts for $299.00

Copied from Griot's web page:

New Hydraulic Movable Car Lifts Are Better. Ours Accept Wider Tire Widths And Are Easier To Use. A Griot's Garage Exclusive!
Are you tight on space in your garage? Want to maximize that space by moving your cars around quickly and easily? Use these Hydraulic Car Lifts and you'll be able to tuck a vehicle into a corner with ease all by yourself. Simply place the two rollers underneath the tire and ratchet the rollers together. This new design operates using hydraulic pressure so you can do it one-handed! No more brute force needed using your foot and leg to raise the vehicle off the ground. Smooth, fast, and easy. The rollers are larger, too, so now you can fit tires up to 13" wide! The tough, 4" ABS plastic casters spin 360° allowing you to wheel the car in any direction. Forget about the time consuming way of jacking up the vehicle and placing dollies underneath! These are much better. Each of these lifts has a 1,500-pound capacity. Sold in sets of two, however, I strongly recommend you order four for easier use. With four, you can spin a vehicle weighing 6,000 pounds in a circle! I use these new lifts all the time and can't imagine being without them. Get yourself a pair of our Wall Mount Hangers and keep your Car Lifts up off the ground when you're not using them. Or get the Optional Rolling Storage Rack that holds four Car Lifts upright in a space of 32 1 /4" x 23 5 /8" x 28 1 /2". Add $25.00 to normal shipping charges for Car Lifts due to size and weight.

I have a set for my 951 I got from Harbor Freight. I LOVE them. It makes it very easy to move the car around the garage.

Yeah, I got the set from Griot's place.
Pretty nice, but whoa...heavy.

a set of 4 of those HarborFreight items will do me fine as long as they are wide enough.

Thanks for the link
