DIY Aluminum Ladder Wheel Truck [Ladders]

If you have a large aluminum extension ladder it can be difficult to maneuver to the room or outdoor area where you plan on setting up the ladder. If you have access to a welder you can build a simple wheel truck using lawnmower wheels, steel rebar, and a few miscellaneous hardware items such as hex bolts, locking washers, and split pins.

Instructables user Phil B came up with the idea of using the holes created where the aluminum ladder rungs attach to the sides of the ladder to attach a triangle-shaped truck with a lawnmower wheel on the bottom. Phil's version uses welded steel rebar (concrete reinforcement bars) permanently attached to the ladder but I'm sure you could fabricate a similar system if wood if you don't have a welder handy.
