if it were me doing that i would think a set of non caster wheels on the pivot end of things might give better control when doing the tipping. casters on the other end would still allow it to be rolled around, just less manoeverable.
it doesn't really look all that hard to build if you just apply the same logic. I have seen some that have a rounded end on the tipping end, that would possibly make it easier to tip but may also make it tip a little fast. good idea though. i have seen one where the builder made a complete ring around the cab, like a halo. might need a tbing roller for that one.
