I do, on our boat on flat concrete pad in the cave on my own. However I can't move the boat / Van on our driveway due in part to it been Stamped with a patterned concrete.
Has anyone used larger wheels to overcome the rippled concrete effect?????

Neighbour has a caravan mover, and instead of wheels it has rubber type caterpillar tracks
I assume that this type of mover would be OK for ripple concrete
Hope that this info is helpful

Hi Tony & Bev,
I want to know if anyone has tried larger wheels on go jacks.
It would most likely move with extra bodies pushing the rig on the standard wheels.
My driveway is narrow, then fans out to the three bays. I have one 3mtr x2.7mtr roller door, and two standard doors.

My last drive was steep with a kink at halfway point.
I had an electric 4wd winch at rear of van bay. with a open sheave block just past turning point to rear. Dragged boat and van to turning point. Chock wheels. Slacken\take rope off half cheek block,
and turn then tow whichever? to parking spot. reversible winch. Just reverse the process for taking out.
Slow. but one man job and NO physical weight\pressures on you. 2 chocks. Dynabolt to suit. 1\2 cheek block of weight req'd anchor plate and winch to suit, Mine second hand winch off 4wd. $250.
AND SAFE... Well within weight limits. and capacity of blocks and sheave.
Ex 42 ft ocean yacht. 16mm blocks\sheaves with spare roll of 16mm sheets braid.

Hi all,
Do you use go jacks to shift your van, boat, car.
I do, on our boat on flat concrete pad in the cave on my own. However I can't move the boat / Van on our driveway due in part to it been Stamped with a patterned concrete.
