[Sneap] Radiation Shielding on Wheels?

Howdy,

We have an application where it would be really convenient to have local
radiation shielding around a target chamber that is moveable so that the
shielding could be moved to the side for access to the chamber.  The
shielding will consist primarily of a couple of tons of lead.  Any
innovative ways of putting such a shield on wheels?  Maybe multiple
pieces can be positioned and interlocked together?  Any thoughts would
be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tracy
