Where do I put handles on this thing?!

Post by The Wood Wizard »

OK, making a 2 x 15 for myself. Right now it has castors on the small side facing down, and will have rubber feet on the long side. So I was thinking of putting them on the small sides, But that might be kinda far apart for one guy. BUT it would make stairs easy with another guy helping out. What do you think?

I would prefer the handles to be on the long sides. If it needs to go up a staircase and you have another set of hands, just tilt it over and have one person on each small side; one goes up the stairs backwards, like moving a bookshelf or somethin'.
Carrying it alone would BLOW with handles on the ends.

I would put them on the long sides myself. I agree with the post above.

Might be late to the party, but how about one long handle on the small side opposite the casters. then its easy to roll around and you can do stairs with just one dude.

I have an old Ampeg B25B 215 cab and it's set up almost like yours.
It has 3 handles on the side opposite the rubber feet and is easy enough for to move by yourself.
The extra handles are nice for moving it in, out and around once it's in the van too.

Here is a V4 412 that is set up the same way:
