I purchased a Shopfox mobile base for my Bellsaw planer a

G7314 Heavy-Duty Mobile Base supposed to have 700 lb. capacity.

However I discovered that the casters don't seem to have the same capacity.

So I exchanged the casters for much better rolling & locking casters but in the process had to weld on some plates to extend the caster mounts now I can move the planer with one hand & with the locking wheels it doesn't move.

I also purchased the planer pals to fit this planer.

Looks like they should hold it well, I like the low center of gravity that you have that makes for a very stable roll around.

The real Stu would have made that base from scrap! Looks good Bart!
