Adding Casters To A Cab

clockwork:

Wheels on the back are what I'm planning on doing. Most of my exercise equipment is set up that way, and I like it. It should sit very solidly without needing to lock anything.

My cabinet is on oak floors and doesn't move even with 4 kids playing on it.  It's close to the wall but not touching it so there would be room for it to move given enough force.

ChadTower:


If tilting and moving the cab on wheels like that would be dangerous for you you should not be attempting to move the thing alone anyway.  That person isn't capable of moving the cab safely.  That's about the safest way you're going to move a cab without a set of 4 wheels on the bottom.

shardian:

Personally, I think the tilt and move is safer than 4 wheels - the reason being is that you end up with aot more control over the cabinet. Also, if you lose control, you can always lay it down as it's halfway there already. If you tip a cabinet on 4 wheels, you aren't going to catch it - something is going to break.

ChadTower:


If you lose control of a cabinet already at 45 degrees it's going to come down right on top of you.  The danger in a 4 wheeled cab is breaking the cab... the danger in a tilted 2 wheel cab is breaking yourself.
