Unless you have long feetsies on it, when you're really cranking down
on the handle to press a 19.999 ton tight-fit combo together, it'll
tend to roll/slip out on you. I'd go retractable if it were mine.

Ah, the voice of experience. Just whom I wanted to connect with. Thanks, and
will do!

I have a little 20 ton H-frame shop press. It would press just fine hanging from
a loop, i.e. it doesn't rely on the ground any. However, it wasn't made with
feet, and I'm not OK with something that can fall over. So I'm designing feet. I
want to be able to move it, so I'm going to dig into my caster stock and put it
on casters. What I want to know is, is there any reason it can't stay on casters
full time, or should I fuss with some sort of retractable caster arrangement?
