Using "sliders" to move a cabinet.

I use them under the appliances in my rentals... It makes it easy to move them out of the way when I do a deep clean....

I thought that they'd make an arcade cabinet move around to much if they were under them...

it may be the difference of the vinyl flooring compared to carpet......

Hey there,

I really like the super sliders as well--but there are a few caveats to consider when using them.. When I use them, I usually put them on the four corners and try to stick an extra one in the middle.  That way, if I'm moving a cab and one falls off, I don't get a big gouge in the floor.

Another thing to consider is what I like to call the 'sandpaper effect'.  If you use the super sliders on a machine that's on a nice floor, you can end up with little sanded areas where the sliders were sitting.  This happens when dirt gets trapped under the sliders, and the machine gets moved around a little bit.  I guess this is more of an issue with pinball machines though..

Anyway, they work great for moving machines around on the concrete in my garage!  :)

I've seen those before. Tried them, but they didn't work so well for me. Not enough friction on the top surface. They kept coming out of place.

Mine have adhesive so they stick to the leg levelers. They've never fallen off.

The produce I linked to is the same brand, but I got the octagon shped ones.  The top side is foam so what ever sit on top of it sinks in, does not have problems with furniture staying on them.
