That may not be a great idea. There was a team using, or trying to use, a patio umbrella base that weighed at least 40 pounds. It was heavy enough that it was causing the drivers station shelf to slope quite a bit under its weight.
While a wide base is probably a good idea, a 40 pound chunk of steel that could fall on your feet is likely to be called a safety hazard.
