amp stands on wheels

I should be receiving my 160 lb Pass labs a200.5 mono blocks in a week or 2.  That being said, i currently have a 100 lb stereo amp and it's no fun to move!  I'm wondering if any of you have used amp stands with wheels?  For those who have, can you provide a link to mfrs that make these? There's not many amp stand makers out there that have impressed me.  All my equipment is resting on Adona corporation stands which i do like.  I most likely will order a couple of their GX1s for my new amps.  It'll just match better.   Thanks in advance.

Find an amp stand that has replaceable threaded spiked footers and replace them casters.

Few months ago, I purchased a pair of Pass 160.8s. (141.0 lbs each) For last 10yrs, I have used BDR, "The Shelf" spiked to the floor for my Spectral DMA 360s about 65lbs each.
I bought a pair of Mapleshade record rack casters, believe they are rated for 360lbs. The Pass 160.8s +(2) BDR  Shelves = 210-220 lbs each. The Pass 160s are Large; took (2) Shelves for each amp. Moving the amps is no problem. Very solid,large casters, Well made. I think they were $120 each. Best Wishes on your Journey.

I highly recommend Sound Anchors. Bob made a stand for me with wheels when I had a Levinson 333 amp, a beast. It glided easily across my wood floor and improved bass performance as well. The casters were high quality and worked smoothly.

I now have a pair of stands he made for my VTL double deck amps, even heavier than the ML 333. I chose spikes this time. With the spikes sitting on Sound Anchors Conecoasters, I am able to slide the amps on the wood floor without damaging the wood and have better coupling to the floor. If your floor is tile, this may be a problem because of the joints between the tiles and you should probably stick with wheels. Obviously, carpet would also suggest wheels.
