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.....

Elegant solution!!

But I think Gunner would prefer to combat the accrued momentum of a 6,000 #
machine with his own fairly substantial inertia, if his posts are even a
hint of an indication....
