Thanks, this is just the kind of info I was after.

Do you bolt them to the floor? I had originally planned to put this on
the same mobile base I make for everything else (for the inevitable
move or if I want to rearrange things temporarily). My mobile base is
either 2x4s or 4x4s half-lapped into an X pattern so that they pass
under the four feet of the machine, then lagscrewed to the machine.
The length of the 2x4s depends on the top-heavyness of the machine.
And I usually over-do the casters so that they have big wheels. The
manual says to use expansion bolts in concrete though in order to avoid
vibration. Seems a bit excessive to me.

Yes. And No. In the dealership, they sit directly on 2x6 treated lumber, on
pins (redheads, but no nut on top). At home, the compressor is also sits on
sleepers with 4x4 square rubber pads (old tire), all bolted securely to the
pad.
