Bill,
Tried the triangle wheel set-up. It tends to be unstable when making
turns.

I Have several angle iron braced platforms, (With a protective box),
about 2ft X 2ft with large casters. They will probably support well over
1000 lbs. 

Now for the the best part they are free and just a few miles from your
house. Just fire up the ole Suburb and drive to Blanchester.

If you are interested please e-mail me off the list

BTW congrats on your Transformer buy!

Cliff
