Title: What kind of wheels allow a cab to tilt back and roll
Post by: aldub516 on June 30, 2015, 10:38:16 am

I kind of like the idea of being able to tilt and roll my cab around. Is there a particular wheel hardware that some
How installs in a cut out area on the bottom back of the cab? Or is this just done using general wheel hardware and custom mounting methods?

Some cabs have them.  I know that Universal cabinets have them and I like them when moving on carpet; not so much on a hard surface though.  It makes it a lot easier to back them into their final position.

You can also Google "recessed" wheel as well to come up with more options.

But here's a direct link to fleabay:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-HEAVY-DUTY-3-WHEEL-ASSEMBLY-FOR-ARCADE-CABINET-/160729041603?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256c328ac3 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-HEAVY-DUTY-3-WHEEL-ASSEMBLY-FOR-ARCADE-CABINET-/160729041603?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256c328ac3)

As an alternative you can build a small frame of 2x3s for the underside of the cabinet and put rear wheels (available from places like Home Depot) in so they just come below the frame a bit and then put leg levelers on the front and you can still tip and move when needed.

The thing I like about the frame is it raises the cab a little so it's more comfy on the back when playing
