WOW....... I don't have any issues. Perhaps with my SwissTrax Flooring, which makes the QJ frames slide around very easily on the plastic flooring, and alignment to each other. I typically slide each frame which lay flat, centered under one car using just the heal of my shoe. I don't even have to bend over until time to hook up the hoses. Slides like on butter. I use mine often, as well as for my 2 other C8 neighbor friends cars. From the time I start to the time the car is up in the air, is less than 10 minutes. That includes moving the power unit out from under my tool chest, getting the 2 hoses out and connected, etc, etc.

I really like the idea adding casters to make moving the Quickjack around the garage floor a breeze. The big downside is I plan to storage the QuickJack frames on the garage wall and I suspect casters will prevent me from doing that since they need to lay flat against the wall in order to hook on the Quickjack wall hangers.

I too considered that but after lugging them around, I opted to just leave them on the ground, placed together and I just park the C8 over them. No issues whatsoever.

I searched Home Depot and they don’t list them. Are you talking about some cheap wall hangers not designed for the Quickjack? A link would be helpful.

I just ordered my casters 8 for $11. I have the QJ 7000 EXT and at 70 years old, this will be a big help for my first oil change and eventual DCT changes. I only bought the heavier 7000 because I also have a 1 Ton Dodge Ram.

TRUTH BE KNOWN I really love using my Jackpoint Jackstands they are easy to use and easy to store plus they are super safe. The ONLY REASON I decided to buy the Quickjack is because I live in a flood zone and want to be able to lift the car as high as possible. It’s not because Quickjack is better than Jackpoint Jackstands the is Quickjack is a PITA to setup, move and maintain usability.
Unfortunately my garage ceiling is too low and the 1 car garage side is too narrow for a four point lift.
