MY 1000 GALLON TANK NEEDS CASTER WHEELS ON TANK STAND THAT CAN ACTUALLY HELP MOVE THE TANK TO WITHOUT WATER TO A FLATBED TRAILER

[FLOWER247]

The Tank Stand I have has small caster wheels that my builder supplied me with and while it does hold the weight with the water when the Tank is emptied the wheels that I was given hardly will move at all!

Everyone says I should have been given larger caster wheels as the small ones can't go over a tiny bump! So going over any concrete to get to a trailer of lift is a huge issue.

Does anyone have any videos to watch on how to relocate a large tank to a New Location?
My tank size is 8ft length x4ft height x4ft wide

Thank you,

Who made the stand? Can you post some pictures? Honestly, in over 40 years in the hobby, I don't recall ever seeing a stand with wheels, let alone one for such a large tank.

Are you trying to move the tank empty or full of water. I'm having trouble understanding exactly what you're trying to accomplish.

Also, I'm moving this to an area of the board where it will get more people looking at it.

Are you saying you had a 8x4x4 tank filled with water on a stand with wheels? That is over 8,000# of weight. 4 tons. Add a ton if it is a glass tank.

Small casters to roll a tank that is that heavy, even empty? I don't think so Tim.

This is how I moved my 550 gallon tank.

This is how I moved my 550 gallon tank.

My gosh, 22 years ago already? It seems like just a few years ago.

Incredible how time flies.

Best bet is a maintenance company that moves tanks.
Check with a local store.
If you're on LI I know a guy.
