Seeking dollies to prevent concrete damage and facilitate uphill climb (lower level parking)

Hello all,

I'm a newcomer to this forum and I'm here in search of information from individuals who may have encountered a similar issue.

My search is for a product, possibly a dolly or something similar, that can assist me in safely moving my sled out of my garage, which happens to be located in the lower level (similar to that of the image posted below)
of a parking garage. I want to avoid causing any damage to the concrete with the carbides on my sled (track not studded)

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or advice you can provide (not looking to have rouskis for example).

if you are able to drive it and the concrete is relatively smooth (no large cracks or steps) then the caliber sled wheels would probably work quite well for you.
 
Fixed wheel caster pinned to the spindle will allow you to steer it.

I should maybe mention, my intent is to drive it up the ramp during the winter as well. The ramp is stamped concrete, very smooth in comparison to the picture I've added
 
CALIBER!
I am actually assembling a set of them right now as I am replying to this.

Shop around HARD, there are deals to be had.
I bought my set in June and got a great price.

you think they'd do better then a set like this?


The wheels on the caliber set are relatively small. Keep in mind that I need to navigate uphill terrain (see picture in the thread), sometimes even in snowy and slushy conditions, as I have to transport it from my garage and up a ramp.

The bottom 2 suck. The metal is too thin where it goes under the ski and the wheels want to walk out sideways and twist.
 
I had a set similar to the bottom 2, they were pretty much worthless until I drilled and pinned them to the ski, now they actually work ok.
 
I've been using Sure Grip driveable dollies for 10 years and love them. Only good on concrete (hard) surfaces, but work very well. Black Ice makes a knock-off of them for less money and their quality appears just as good.
