    Ive improved my process for getting games in and out of my house. But theres one spot that could be better. My sliding door threshold to get into my arcade takes bumps causing the door to not shut well afterwards. I have to bend the metal with a wrench to get it to shut right.

    I had picked up a one step furniture ramp for a previous issue. I was wondering if anything like that is made for getting over a bump? If I use a harbor freight cart with the pinball legs still on, it definitely bends the threshold. If I have it on a dolly, it might not damage it. Ideally, I’d like both methods to work without damaging the threshold. Its also kind of difficult to move the harbor freight cart over the threshold bump with a pin on it.

    Is there any tricks to an issue like this or a product that takes care of this problem?

    Quoted from modfather:

    You started a thread on how to lift something heavy over a bump? Seriously ??? Give me a break.

    I move games in and out regularly with a tractor. The bumps caused me some grief, trying to simplify it. Rain on your parade.

    Quoted from mrclean:

    Beer & a friend.... (Food & a friend works usually just as good)
    I’d recommended having a friend help you lift it & give them a six pack for helping you. Indiana & Sallah style over the threshold...

    This is the only spot where I’d need someone else. The rest is a 1 man show.

    That ramp might do the trick?
