Here is my opinion.
To house 6 chickens, you need a floor plan about 4 feet by 6 feet. I don't think a structure that size would be very stable on the cart that you have. One option you can take, is to make a coop movable by using the wheels from your cart installed on a larger base.
I like to repurpose things myself. My coop is made from a lil tykes playhouse. When children no longer played in it due to outgrowing it, I converted it. These can be acquired used for little $$$ or free. I could put wheels on mine but don't need to. Here is a pix.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/the-nags-head-chicken-coop-tractorI purchased this cheap industry cart and thinking turn its into small portable coop for about 6 chickens with roll out egg nest box. Does anyone has any plan or picture of your cart coop willing to share?
