HELP< HELP< HELP! weld wheels to tank?

[39 chevy]

I need some ideas, I have a standard wash tank, that the legs are 3inch angle, approx 18 guage only, and I want to weld some wheels to make a roller, has anyone got a picture and what is the easiest way to add wheels to the legs? TIA, Dana

hi, it might be easier and stronger to build angle iron frame with swivel casters on it and set tank on it.

Pretty much. I build a angle iron frame for my band saw to roll it around. That way I'm not modding my saw, and not trying to apply forces that a sheet metal frame shouldn't get...

I'm kinda thinking to get some 1/8 in plate and weld on the bottom of my legs, basically it will be cut like a gusset when it's all trimmed off, then add casters to it. I am only going to roll this back and forth under my bench! really not to much weight on them, mineral spirits and small parts etc. (Still can use suggestions), TIA, Dana

I mounted some wheels on my blast cabinet on the outside of 2 legs and a handle on the opposite side of the cabinet. The wheels don't touch the floor until I lift up on the side of the cabinet with the handle. I can move the cabinet with 100 lbs of sand pretty easily.

Well, I had some 2 inch angle iron and decided to take off my flimsly legs and apply 4 new ones. welded some cut off pieces of angle iron to ea. leg and drilled holes to accept my caster wheels. Done. Thanks for the input, Dana
