The thing handles like it's own hand-truck due to the fact that the wheels are set so far back that they extend beyond the rear of the cab. When in it's resting position, the four rubber screw-in feet act as stabilizers. The cab wont move until you tilt it back about 5 degrees, then it's quite mobile afterwards. It's come in real handy since I'm building this on my own and I have to move it all over the garage every time my wife needs to park the car overnight.

Hi martoon x
I like your 45 degree wheel design. Do you happen to have any design plans you could share on how you attached and secured the wheels? Also, did you end up putting handles on the cabinet to help you lean it? If so, where?
severdhed:
amazing. i remember seeing this thread a long time ago when it was still in the 3d modeling stage, and then i forgot about it. I just ran across it today and all I can say is WOW. very impressive. i can't wait to see this with the artwork in place.
Rick:
Wow. Just... Wow.

I unfortunately don't have any dimension for this part because I eyeballed most of it and measure on the fly for the rest. But these extra photos might help you see how i did it.

Awesome. Thanks! I will study these.
