I have only one suggestion. Use the largest, best quality casters that will fit. I used cheap casters on a storage stand I built, and it takes two guys to move it around the shop. I spent a little extra on the casters on my test stand, and I can move that around (with an engine in it of course) with one hand. The wheels were just a tad small however, and the legs on my cherry-picker wouldn't quite go under the frame of the test stand. I had to add 1" spacers and now everything is fine.
