I have a new Kenmore 14.8 Cu. Ft Chest Freezer and I would like to mount four casters on the bottom of the freezer. I am concerned about drilling holes and the length of mounting screws which might come in contact with possibly condenser or evaporator coils located in the floor of the freezer.
Do chest freezers have components located in the Floor? I know that there is condenser and evaporator coils in the sidewalls, but I have no clue as to the floor. I have looked all over the web and have found no pictures or info about Chest Freezer Floor construction.
Note: my chest freezer has no external condenser coils on the outside back side of the unit like some chest freezers.
I have noticed that commercial versions of this type of chest freezer do have casters installed on them. any info regarding this would be greatly apreciated. Thanks! Scott
Youyr best bet would be to build a frame that the casters are welded to and there are no holes in the outer shell of the freezer. some L shaped angle would work nicely for this application and then there would be plenty of support for when the freezer is loaded up with product. Be sure that teo of the casters are lockable and two in the swivel freely.
Maybe you do not need to install casters on the freezer, itself. All sorts of dollies are on the market that might suit your purpose. Some have frames to hold items in place and are adjustble.

This is a good solution that I might implement but will require some welding which I am not equiped to do. I do have some friends that do weld and could use their help. Thanks for your input!
