Randy,
The big boys use compressed air pallets. They are amazing to watch move very
heavy machines around a warehouse on these things. It does take a reasonable
smooth flat concrete floor, but they move by fingertip pressure only. If I
ever move again, I will make an air pallet for every machine and permanently
mount the machines to the pallets.

Sometimes stopping them is a bit problematic if you get them moving
too fast.....

Try cutting off the compressed air.....
