Default KWIKLIFT Question?

I just got my KwikLift and was contemplating ordering the castors. Can someone who has the castors please let me know if you find them useful? My garage is pretty narrow and the castors would enable me to move the lift with the car on it to either side doubling my work space. My concern is how will these wheels hold up to constant rolling and if they are sturdy enough. Thanks in advance for any help.

With the wheels, we can move our car and the lift sideways in the garage. That gives me a little more room on the opposite side.
Works pretty well.

There are some small cracks in my garage floor and it slopes ever so slightly to the door, but using the castors I can't move it with my car actually on the lift. I suspect with 2 people it would be no problem, but by myself I had a hard time getting it to budge.

Thanks for all the replies. It looks like I'll be ordering the castors. I have to make the most out of the space I have. Unfortunately for me, my wife got the big kitchen and I got the small garage
