Casters are what you're looking for. You'll find a lot of stolen Mercedes rims if you just put wheels.

Yes. But they don't have to be 'amplifier casters'. Casters are casters

You can also 'buy' a shopping cart for like 2 euro's and take the carters of that, mount them to a platform and then put your amp on that. Razz

Not sure if that's legal, though.

Get a shopping cart, already. Razz

Casters for like 100 kilos or something. Those things can take a punch.

That's not really handy if you move your amp around a lot and it takes a LOT of space. Razz

Attaching some side handles would probably be a better idea then. My bass cab is big and heavy but it has side handles and is actually surprisingly easy to carry when you lean it against your body (well, it's not easy to carry but it's a lot more manageable than you'd expect)

Buy some, drill holes for the screws, screw them in. Exactly how you would attach casters (actually, simpler than casters, because casters need to rotate so need an extra big hole in the middle between the screw holes)

no
cabs have a wood casing so unless you take a screw thats 20 cm long you should be fine
