Wrap a rubberized fabric sheet (pierced with very small holes ...) around
a flat plate with an inlet pipe on top sized for a vacuum cleaner hose .
Hook the other end of the hole to the blow outlet of your shop vac . Bigger
the plate/sheet , bigger the load . Escaping air will form an "air bearing"
between the sheet and the floor . Had a device that used two long skinny
plates for moving appliances when I was a vinyl flooring installer , you can
literally slow dance with a refrigerator . Google "airsled" for a look at
these .
