9elf S

Until I buy a lift, I am positioning my 997S in the back of my two car garage, parallel with the back wall, which allows me to fit three cars. (It's not my daily driver.)

Any recommendations on auto dollies or car skates to assist in positioning the car? Also, can you just drive the car onto the auto dolly or do you have to jack up each wheel to place the auto dolly underneath it?

A little pricey, but Go Jacks are the way to go. They fit up to 13 inch wide tires, lift in seconds and have varying capacity models. I have not used them but I have several friends who use them to turn tandem axle boat trailers in tight spaces and like them.

I tried to post a link to the 5,000 lb model for you, but apparently lowly RL rookies aren't allowed to do that. A quick search will turn them up.

Thanks. I did look into Go Jacks, and they seem to be very easy to use. But I would need 4 of them to do what I need. That would put the cost at over $1,000. That's close to half the cost of a lift. For the interim, I was looking for a cheaper alternative, like an auto dolly.

Griots Garage carries dollies. Also do a search on eBay. I once saw some reasonably priced dollies advertised.

Thanks. The wheel dollies (the tire skates kind) are relatively inexpensive. Has any one ever used them? Do you have to jack up the tire or can you drive on to them?

You don't drive on to them. You position them around the wheel and then there's a foot lever that you pump and which brings the rollers together which brings the wheels up off the floor and on top of the rollers. It's very simple.

Understood. That's how the Go Jacks type work. But there is another type of wheel dolly that is significantly less expensive. It looks like a skateboard, which is why it is also called a tire skate. I'm wondering if any one has used this type.

As other folks suggested, the Griot's Garage sells the car lifts. See pictures and links below
