I moved one about 100 ft with a 4 wheeler once. It was an OLD shed.. Like turn of the century railroad building. Just backed the 4 Wheeler into the shed.. Jacked the shed up using some 2x8's lagged inside.. Then set the shed on some the racks using some more 2x8s bolted to the studs... A couple friends kept it balanced as it rested just off the ground and told me where I was going..
The shed is fine, the 4 wheeler is broken(and long gone) for some reason.

With a hilift it's pretty easy: Jack the left side as looking at it from the pavement until you get it a foot or so in the air, then get behind it and push that end towards the pavement and let the jack tip over. Repeat on the other side, then back and forth until it is where you want it.
Or lift the left side, pull out all the blocking underneath and slide in a wooden fence post parallel to the direction you want to go and sticking out in that direction. Repeat for the right side. (You want sliders, not rollers.) Hose down the wooden posts and give the shed a shove. Wet wood is slippery enough it won't take much work, and if it does add some dish soap. Once slid into place, jack, remove posts, and re-level.
That makes sense, thanks!
The tools we'll use.
The process.
Fun.
Depending on where you are, it's tornado season. Those are pretty good at moving sheds. And trailers . And mobile homes.
