Default Moving a heavy built-in refrigerator.

Your local plastics house should be able to sell you a couple of strips
of UHMW for a song and a dance to do the job. Pull holes to remove
after should be no problem at all.

I am having trouble finding a tool, that I know exists (I have seen it
used in my own home), that I need to use again, and which I cannot
seem to locate to buy. I do not know the name or brand of the tool,
but I can describe it, and how it is used.

The tool is used to move a heavy "built-in" refrigerator back into the
space that was previously built into. It had to be removed to replace
the floor underneath it.

It consists of two strips of milky white plastic (teflon?), which are
approximately 8" wide and 36" long.

They are placed into the space on either side, so the glide feet of
the refrigerator fit onto these two strips. The refrigerator is
placed onto the strips with the help of a dolly. Once on the strips,
the refrigerator can easily slide into it's space. Once in place, the
strips are then pulled out by holding onto the strips through holes
that are cut out of the ends that still protrude in front of the
refrigerator.

Does anyone here know what I am talking about, and if so, what is it
called? Would you know a brand name? And where could I get it?

Thanks in advance.
