Yeah, that's the way. I have my solitary rack on 4 heavy duty casters
so it can be positioned near the heavy item very easily, even though
the rack outweighs it by over 300 lb. Glad I did this, works great.

If you must have heavy lifting equipment, I'd reccomend Harbor Freight,
Their prices are about 1/2 what they are all too often in other catalogs.

P.S. everybody in Silly Valley should use the muscular friends method
since all it involves is a 15 mile drive or so. Sure beats going to
Rochester.
