Oh, I thought the rim centre was going to be a bearing point but I just realised the bolts to the brackets. It's still an amazing looking set up!
Do the rims roll in any particular material to protect the timber?
Looking back it looks like a strip of mild steel but I'm both blind and stupid!

Probably nothing this sort of weight (I don't have a working crane) but I've often used the yellow tongue from flooring to act as a bearing/sliding surface which removes risk of wear and is easily gotten and replaced.

Do you have a permanent smooth concrete area to roll it out on?
Sorry, I always over design everything and I'd have to have a lead base so it was counterbalanced at all times, that or outriggers. Then again, I have a sloping, uneven yard and struggle to roll a welder on a stand without it rolling off (40Kg MIG welder).
