My 15 ton sits on 4 swivel casters with toe-brakes. The feet are 3' long
and the casters are at the ends which puts them at the corners of a 3 ft.
square. Very stable and easy to move.

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?
