Regarding the casters,... a year after getting my lift I decided to upgrade to LED lighting on that side of the shop (I have a high ceiling) and of course there were lights above the lift, too high to get to standing on the lift. I installed the casters and the lift hoisted itself up so I could easily roll the unit over and come in with a scissor lift to change lights. Definitely not recommending leaving casters on, just when the need arises to reposition.
