Building a mobile shed

So I decided to build a mibile shed to store the non woodworking tools and all of my parts cabinets to keep my garage for machines only.

Got the framing done today. This shed is 12'X5' and is on 6 mobile casters that handle 400lbs per wheel. Right now it is still light enough for one person to push it around. I want to add a hitch so it can be pulled with alawn tractor. I had to build it small to fit in my yard, and wanted it to be able to moce around incase it needs to be out of the way. The bottom is all 4×4s with the framing built on top.

Here is a link to the castors incase anyone here wants to try.

I like the idea of not having to worry about losing air on the tires. Went that route with wheelbarrow some years back and never looked back.

That said, that has to feel good. Essentially, you just grew your shop, and don't have all those pesky things contaminating air and ground space better dedicated to the really important stuff. ;)

I just built a rolling rack for wood. It's about 37" wide, 72" tall and long. If full, that would be close to an equivalent of about a four foot long, four foot tall and two foot wide block of wood.

The wheels I, initially, put on it worked, but where hard pressed to handle the load. I bought twelve 3-1/2" casters rated at 275# each and mounted three on each corner. I can move the beast around with one hand now and they should hold up well. I suspect the others would have died just sitting around under load.
