1100 lbs each or total for all 4?

I need to move something that weighs right at 4000 lbs. I can lift it with
my ten ton mini ram, but I need to move it out of the way, do some work, and
then move it back.

I think 1100 lbs would be pushing it for the whole set. Take
a look at the load rating on these similar castors:

I couldn't find a 2 inch stem castor, but the 3 inch version
is only rated at 100 lbs. That would be maybe 300 lbs per
corner times four, ~1200 lbs total. Heaven forbid you hit a
hole or something forcing more of the load onto the
others...
