I second this approach. Furniture Dolly with a lashing strap. You can also lay on the dolly and roll around the stage for sick solos.

Machine screws with t nuts inside or big fender washers and nyloc nuts. Wood screws just end up pulling out as soon as you hit some bumpy pavement.

2 excellent points. Nothing more frustrating than that wheel you forget about falling out.

And for the latter point I have had this happen with handles that were screwed in vs bolts. Was hefting a heavy 4x12 cabinet and the handle in my right hand literally ripped right out. It might be worth checking some of your amps & cabinets to see how they're mounted, especially they are particularly heavy and/or if your cabs are made with some version of MDF

I have much better luck with using a dolly to cart big amps around. It might sound like a pain but it probably stores and transports much easier than you might think

Yeah I’ve used a foldable sack truck for the last I don’t know how many years, but it does the job great, folds down pretty small too. This one:

I've had some casters in a box for like 25 years and I was able to find them! Put them on yesterday. Couldn't be happier.

I've always liked the look of the Vox luggage cart setup.

Pretty sure my shop vac has the same casters: incapable of rolling and remaining upright.

Silkworm took a dolly on tour once we started traveling in a 15-pass van and had room.

Granted we had a Mesa 2x15 and two 4x12 half-stacks (later one 2x4x12 full stack) and big ole drums, not just a 2x12. But it was worth it.

More than one band made fun of it but ended up asking to use it after a few shows.

Now do tennis balls on a walker

Go for it. My old Fender Super Twin had casters and I cannot imagine it without them.
