Low tech, economical, safe loader/backhoe/etc storage

[s219]

I built custom dollies for the three implements I keep in my barn, but for my new ballast box (800#) I just got a 1000# capacity mover's dolly from Northern Tool -- was on sale for $6. I couldn't buy just the casters for $6, not even at Harbor Freight. Like you, I will add some scrap 2x6 over the top to adjust the width as needed, but I think it will work great. No need to get more complicated as long as it does the job and is safe.
