Yes, those little three-wheel dollies are ideal if you only need to move the telescope across a flat floor. I considered something similar, but my father had to negotiate a few slab joints etc, so the larger wheels were a "must-have" for me. I designed a new "dolly spreader" which would pick up the tripod at full spread, and only raise the tripod by about 25 mm, but never got around to making it.
