Very cool!  My approach for my Gates BC-1T was to put it on two moving 
dollies from Harbor Freight.  They fit the base of the transmitter 
admirably.  Not as low as your design, but no assembly required and 
only about $30 total. - grin-

You can see them being used to move the transmitter through the house, 
then as the maintenance base in the photos at

You can see the dollies most clearly in their final position in this 
picture:

Looks great Al.  Mine's still "in the queue"...like a lot of other 
projects!


If you're looking for a way to move that 1300 pounds around, take a 
look
at my low-profile mobile base:
