    Secure 4x4 post to rolling wagon

    Is the wagon only the size of the staircase or does it have more playing space? Ditto on needing to see a sketch.if it’s a just a staircase that you need to roll around, i’d attach the caster plates directly underneath to the 4x4 posts(legs?) of the staircase so that the weight is transferred...

    Casters without adding height? Bench dilemma

If they...

    Rotating Wedge Platform

    So an issue I am seeing in your sketch is that it is VERY difficult (although I suppose not impossible) to put a fixed pivot point at the very corner of a wagon/rolling platform. You can get it as close as you can as long as you leave some space for the caster wheel that will hold up that corner...
