Hello everyone,

Wasnt quite sure the best place to put this question. I have two herniated discs in my neck so moving my machines around isn't going to be great for me long term. Has anyone ever used a pallet jack or anything like that to move machines?

What's the easiest way to move them around on location?

Thank you :)

Strap dolly, aluminum, with the "kicker" wheels that allow it to carry the load on an incline. If you have stairs, an Esclara or similar.

The challenge with a pallet jack is how do you get them ON the pallet?

Or go to any U-Haul location, and hire strong backs to move your games.

Or buy a few six packs, and ask friends for lubricated (after the move) help.

That's definitely what I was wondering about pallet jacks but I'd never tried.

My buddies definitely help out but I'm trying to not have to call them whenever I need to move stuff haha

Is there a dolly with a kicker you recommend? No stairs, just need to move around the arcade
 
Commercial or home arcade? If it's carpeted, carpet sliders are great for a home environment. I leave 4 on each of my games and can easily shuffle things around without straining or lifting

Commercial, I've tried sliders but they seem to not stay well under smaller cabs. What brand do you use?

And carpeted yes
 
You can always use a piece of thick double stick tape between the leg levelers and the top of the slider to keep them in place.

I bought sliders for all my games. I thought you meant MOVE, not re-arrange.
