Being lazy, I never added the cross-braces to the dolly. Thankfully it held up well over about 75 miles of trailering, and picking up/dropping down by a forklift. The 5" wheels still aren't big enough to clear minor imperfections in the pavement, but as the chassis is light, some light lifting solved the problem.
