 I saw them. I was wondering if there were others. I seem to remember a couple more mentioned here years ago

I've purchased SES Casters before. I've been happy. Mine don't see weekly use though.

Penn Elcom. Decent and very reasonably priced.
I just bought some again last. Who other than Behringer would make an X32 “Tour Pack” (includes roadcase] and not include a casterboard and casters with it. sheesh.

I chose Penn Elcom for all my SRX subs - WAY better than the SRX kits available. They are well built and provide smooth operation. Contact Mike Pyle.

Just make sure the wheel diameter is way bigger than the size of the floor surface imperfections ...

Typically the Colson 3 1/2" x 1 1/4" red polyurethane casters are the standard for racks, and their 4" x 2" versions the standard for larger and heavier cases like cable trunks. 

Larger is better if you can afford them.

I've got some cheap 5" x 1 1/4" casters on 1/4x1/2 flat dollies that do handle the cracks and thresholds better, but the downside is they haven't lasted as long as Colsons(buy once, cry once), and they don't handle as much weight as a similar Colson.

Best regards,

John

I just recently posted "Darnell" as a maker of really good casters, then after others posting Colson, remembered they were the ones I typically used.

Why, oh why, did the makers of upright pianos of early last century think it was a good idea to put 1" steel casters under something that weighs half a ton?

Simple cost savings.
You don't need locking casters if the caster itself pushes into the floor.....

Piano casters are for minor adjustments of position, not for transporting.

Similar to high heels...

Harbor Freight. 
Actually some of theirs aren't too bad.

Hmmmm.  I tried HF locking casters once.  Had to grind down the mounting bolts AND nuts to allow full rotation.  Also, their locking and non-locking sibling casters have different total heights.  In other words, not too bad (but not too good, either).
