I love this site!
I got a scratch and dent 5 cu ft Holiday freezer at Lowes for my conversion. Had a dent in the top, but was marked down $50 so I grabbed it. I've already built my collar, which is very heavy.
I want to have wheels on this thing so I can move it between my garage and my deck for parties. I'm trying to avoid going the platform route if possible. I got some steel plate, some heavy duty casters, some bolts, and some epoxy. My plan was to attach the casters to the steel plate, then screw the steel plate into the bottom of the freezer where the 'legs' are. It works, but I'm not convinced it will hold all the weight I need it to hold. I'm thinking the metal on these freezers is not really designed to take the stress a few kegs will put on it. I'm guessing the screws will eventually rip out.
Has anyone had experience attaching wheels to a Holiday 5 cu ft model? Is there a better way to do this?
I appreciate the help
