I don't think that would be a good choice, and the wheels will not handle the weight.
The best pot design, IMO is the
Big Bag Bed wider is better than deeper.
For growing a potted plant quickly, it is better to start with a small pot and incrementally move into larger pots.
This will give you a higher root density when you reach your final pot size.
I grow large plants in 82 gallon rectangular pots and section off the four corners to reduce it to a 41 gallon pot.
After the roots become stacked on the perimeter, I then remove the dividers allowing the plant use the rest of the pot.
