Moving a trackless crawler

[mulligan]

What is the best way to move two trackless crawlers around my shop?

I moved one inside by lifting the rear with the loader and rolling it along the front idlers on the concrete. I plan on sliding the other in next to it this weekend.

What are the chances I wil break the flange off the front idler? I also need to roll them backwards under my hoist. Will the roller flanges handle this? I wouldnt be twisting on the rollers. I'd make sure I have them lined with the loader before I roll them back.

should be OK they will take a heck of a lot more than that with the tracks on could be slamming rocks all day and never hurt it so go for it .Digitup.

i was thinking the same thing they get rocks in between the rollers and tracks and crush them.... as long as your not trying to spin donuts on the rollers you should be fine
