Depending on the span and load range required, I would trust 2 angle irons that size welded together to make a square tube, if you have enough.

Without any information other than what you've given us and realizing this is the bare minimum, I'd just weld a piece of shaft in the inside corners of the angle iron and have it stick out far enough to be the axles.
Now that is the ticket. Fits better with my skill level (none) too.
Since I can't post a picture I will try to ease the worry with a few details.
The axles are 18 inches wide
Wheels are 10" HF
Load is 4 x 6 HF band saw
No you will not be meeting me pulling this down the interstate. Will just be going from shed to under my tree.
Thank you all for the help. I'm having one of those days where I can't get out of my own way. But I've been outside in the sun and I'm happy.

For inspiration, here's what I do with 10" wheels on my welding carts.
I plug weld the (solid round stock) axle to the inside of square tube.

18" sounds narrow unless it's for ease of storage, as band-saws tend to be top-heavy. Could QA outriggers help at all?
If you mean HFT's pneumatic tires then I'd foam them or expect tip-overs when haulin' 'er out/in.

Yes BB, most impressive.
I too like everything mobile. And if not with wheels/castors, with sufficient clearance underneith to get a pump truck under.

I am very fortunate to be in a position to dip into my teenage daughter's potential inheritance money.
I think she realizes it is more 'financially advantageous' to let me indulge in my shop activities than put me in one of the sketchy retirement homes she's been threatening me with.
