A storage device kit has a container, a lid, a template, casters and fasteners. A retrofit kit for a storage device with a container and a lid has a template, casters and fasteners. The template may be installed as a reinforcement plate to structurally reinforce the lid for supporting the weight load of the container and its contents. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A storage device comprising: a container having an opening to an interior volume defined by a bottom, and side walls having upper edges that surround the opening of the interior volume; a lid dolly having a main portion, a raised peripheral portion, and a plurality of stabilizers; a plurality of casters fastened to the main portion of the lid dolly, wherein the casters are disposed inside of the upper edges when the lid dolly is on the container enclosing the interior volume with the peripheral portion releasable engaged with the upper edges of the container, and wherein the stabilizers are configured to releasably position the bottom of the container on the lid dolly when the container is positioned on the lid dolly. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The storage device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of stabilizers includes a corner stabilizer. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The storage device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of stabilizers includes a linear stabilizer. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The storage device of claim 1, wherein the casters include spinner casters. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The storage device of claim 1, wherein the casters include non-spinner casters. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The storage device of claim 1, wherein the lid dolly has an outer surface and an inner surface, and the casters are fastened to the inner surface of the lid dolly. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The storage device of claim 1, further comprising a reinforcement plate fastened to the lid dolly. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The storage device of claim 7, wherein the reinforcement plate is positioned between the lid and the casters. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The storage device of claim 8, further comprising fasteners extending through the main portion of the lid dolly and the reinforcement plate. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The storage device of claim 1, further comprising fasteners extending through the main portion of the lid dolly and a top plate of each caster. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The storage device of claim 1, further comprising shims between the main portion and the casters. ### Claim 12 A storage device kit, comprising: a container having an opening to an interior volume defined by a bottom, and side walls, the side walls having upper edges that surround the opening of the interior volume; a lid having a main portion and a raised peripheral portion; a plurality of casters configured for attachment to the main portion of the lid; a plurality of fasteners configured to attach the casters to the lid; and a template having markers to indicate attachment position of each caster on the lid, wherein the casters are configured to be disposed inside of the upper edges of the container when the lid dolly is on the container with the peripheral portion releasably engaged with the upper edges of the container. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The storage device kit of claim 12, further comprising a plurality of stabilizers, wherein the stabilizers are configured to releasably secure the bottom of the container when the container is on the lid dolly. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The storage device kit of claim 12, wherein the fasteners include bolts and nuts. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The storage device kit of claim 14, wherein the bolts extend through the main portion of the lid and top plates of the casters. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The storage device kit of claim 14, wherein the casters include spinner casters and nonspinner casters. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The storage device kit of claim 16, wherein the markers include spinner caster markers and nonspinner caster markers. ### Claim 18 A retrofit kit for a storage device with a lid and a container, comprising: a plurality of casters, each with a respective wheel and a respective top plate, the top plate configured for attachment to the lid; a template configured for placement against the lid, the template having markers for indicating attachment positions of the casters to the lid; and a plurality of fasteners configured to fasten together the lid and the respective top plate of each caster. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The retrofit kit of claim 18, further comprising a plurality of shims configured for placement between the top plate of each caster to the lid. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The retrofit kit of claim 18, wherein the casters include spinner casters and nonspinner casters.
