Time to hit the weights 💪 🏋🏋 then you can just do a cling and Jerk on that bad boy. 😂
Ok, clowning around aside .

Are the casters all steel? If they aren't then that may be the problem . Im sure someone probably makes a better caster .
I thought they were but I’ll check. Whatever they are, they’re terrible.

The ones on my wheel dollies are plastic - it's not so much the material as how well they can turn on the axle, and, how easily they CASTER or turn on the mount. The larger the wheel, the better, but then that costs more money to use larger caster wheels and still have the things low enough profile to not have to raise the vehicle 6" off the floor.

Steel. But it takes a winch to move the vehicle on them. They’re worthless.

Ouch. Mine are North Hydraulics type bought years ago, Plastic wheels, you do have to muscle it, but I had a 3400 pound Eagle wagon on them in my shop and could really lean into it and get it to move - until a wheel hit a dead fly or something. Floor has to be perfectly clean, smooth and even, for them to work.

Perfectly clean, smooth, and even. That sounds very familiar. But not in relation to my garage. I’ll be swapping the casters out for something extremely overkill and comical. But it’s not on the short list.
