Do you ever ever see a worn out skate board in the trash?
If you are handy with tools, you could make a DIY type of gizmo like the link (above) to that other one using a pair of skate board wheels or roller blade wheels.
At stores like Good Will or similar charity stores you often see semi-worn luggage with wheels for cheap. The wheels from one of those attached to a board might work?
I have no clue if this would handle a 40 pound plus bike box. With the wheels rotating instead of fixed in a straight line, on sloping surfaces it could roll away from you and fall over. I thought of this because where I used to work they had some of these for computers but nobody used them and they were eventually discarded. I think it would work better if there was a way to make two of the wheels stay in a straight line, or maybe all four. If you can't make the wheels stay in a straight line, I think this would not work because the bike box would be too tall to handle.
