[Lowfer] Casters for equipment?

[Michael Sapp]

 Kurt: They are for rolling on tracks....

"Our V-Groove wheels are high strength cast iron or forged steel machined 
with a groove for operation on an inverted angle iron track"

 www dot rwmcasters dot com

I searched Google for "V-groove caster wheels" and  "track"...

Sometimes I get lucky with key word searches, I would rather win the 
powerball tho....

You might want to estimate the strength of your floor under the 
circumstances....a track could distribute the load depending on how you 
build it...
