Default diy trolley for heavy amp!

I'd like to make a trolley to move a rather heavy (100lbs) bass guitar amplifier
around. The footprint is 24" x 14". I had in mind a beefy chipboard base in a
Dexian(sp) or aluminium angle frame with 4 spring-loaded or rubber wheels at the
corners. I'm ok with the chipboard! - but trouble is where to get the Dexian/al
angle and wheels? Any supplier details appreciated - as are there any better
suggestion (for the trolly that is :-) )


I made something similar to this by making a wooden frame using
100x50mm timber, lap jointed and glued and screwed at the corners and
then a piece of 18mm ply on the top.

I bought some industrial castors from RS Components (but only because
I was ordering some other stuff. They are pretty widely available.

I have moved around items weighing 100kg on this, so it would handle
the 50kg that you are looking for easily.
