[CAUT] harpsichord stand casters?

[Kidwell, Ted W]

I have one of those Grand Piano Transporters which is essentially three hydraulic jacks mounted on an articulating frame. It is expensive (over 1K) but worth having. I use it to move our harpsichords, all of which have spindly legs. It is also really great for putting grands onto spider dollys, supporting pianos to remove legs etc. It stores away in a very small space. I love it. 

I know Schaff sells them. I don't know who else.

We are looking for a caster/dolly system for moving our harpsichords 
around the building. I'm thinking about mounting permanent casters on 
the stands that would raise the stand to move and lower it for 
performance. Any solutions out there?

Thanks!
