Here is a naval carriage I built for a Verbruggen barrel. The barrel was built by South Bend and weighs 200 lbs.
The person I built it for is permanently in a wheel chair and needed the carriage to roll very easily.
I used iron spoked wheels with roller bearings. They mounted on a 3/4" round bar axle. Without the barrel, I could push the carriage with one finger very easily.
Enjoy the pictures.
