I tried using a 2 wheel trolley with the 12" SW Dob and it did not work out that well. I ended up constructing a 25mm thick plywood rolling base with locking castors. One of the BAS members has a 14" SW Dob and he moves the scope around with a 4 wheel trolley. It is a two person lift to load and unload his scope. The views at the eyepiece are the reward for the effort.

I have not stored my scope in a shed so can't make any comments about how it would go.

Hope this helps.
