Saw bench casters

So I made this some 2 years ago but just did'nt get to upload - my shop space is tight so I put everything I can on wheels!

To further the problem , I do a mix of things , paintwork , machining and of course a bit of wood work amongst a myriad of other things , needless to say , dust from wood work is a problem , so I prefer to move my saws etc outside.

Latest addition was a light radial arm saw and this is where the issue came in , to be able to move it into working position on wheels but have it stand stable enough to use , then wheel it back into a size fit space allocated to it's storage.
Also with enough ground clearance to wheel it across the lawn when required.

This is what I came up with , works well , save for the fact that I used 4 swivelling , lockable castors which at some point I will change out to 2 fixed and 2 swivelling.
Oh , and it needs a spring to keep the ramp from disengaging should it be suddenly dropped.
Will post a video in use as soon as I access the machine again.

Maybe useful to someone out there!
