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.

Try cutting off the compressed air.....

slamming into the floor.

Tends to make things fall over and other bad stuff.....
