Sprayer Sled
A long rope handle is used to drag the sled without toppling the sprayer or the bucket.
I made a sled for my airless sprayer that makes it easier to move the sprayer and the 5-gal. paint bucket that holds the paint. I screwed a bucket holder (made from an old 5-gal. paint bucket) to 3/4-in. plywood. A keyhole cutout on the bucket holder makes it easier to pull out the paint bucket. 2-in. by 2-in. cleats keep the sprayer’s base on the plywood, and a long rope handle allows me to drag the sled without toppling the sprayer or the bucket.

Nice article you post here!
To make the 'sled' a bit easier to slide, glue a couple of plastic furniture slides to the underside of the plywood at the far end from the rope. Once you let the rope end down there should be enough friction to keep the sled from moving around.
