Why isn't this the most popular mobile base design?

Seems more popular than one might think. Dad has johnson bar rings on most of his heavier items around the shop and uses a shop made bar to move them. My quarters are too tight for the bar but, I use a step pedal that is pretty much the same thing, just built in.

Ah could you elaborate on the step pedal idea? I don't think the bar will work in my small space either which is why I'm trying to eliminate it.

If you had slide out handles on the front to give you a good grip, I'm guessing you could wrassle it around pretty good without losing control...
