Default Casters on an H press?

Use a U-shaped piece of heavy gauge wire or small tubing that just fits
under the wheel blocking its forward and backward roll. Makes a great
break, usually only needed on two of four castors.

I think it is a great idea.

I also think I would extend the legs...H presses can be top heavy and
one needs to anticipate what happens when you are rolling the press and
a caster catches on a floor crack.
