GoJak wheel dolly

I just finished my Rans S-20 and have a hanger issue. While I am in Phase one and perhaps later I want to put the -10 in the back of the 44 X 50? hanger. Pulling the-10 out to the taxiway and then the Rans and then putting the -10 back to fly and then repeating it after the day is a real PITA.

There is a storage and bathroom in the back that along with built in workbenches makes it impossible to maneuver the -10 into position. However with the -10 on wheel dollies it can be done.

I found the GoJak Aviation 4107 which might work. Does anyone have experience with them, especially with a -10 or-14 and their big pants? Perhaps another dolly?

Here's what I'll be using. Similar product to your posting but at a much lesser price.

We’ve got a set of the HF dollies that we use with our Tundra (bush wheels, no pants), but there is no way they’d work under the pants on a two-seater, unless the pants are really hiked up during construction. Don’t know how they’d fit under the pants on a -10, but you need considerable clearance.
 
Wheel dollies

I have used these for years with some large sailplanes to allow hangar stacking. They wear great with weights over 1200# on a single tire. We had no wheel pants and these may not work well wth them. I always think you get what you pay for and would not want my plane riding on anything that said Harbor Freight on it.
 
A few have stated that the rollers will not work with wheel pants. How about removing the roller and welding or bolting a long plate of steel on the lowest point of the bar stock and then it extends towards the middle and lifts on the bottom of the tire?? They are cheap enough that they can be modified and experimented with??
