Casters Under A 20 Ton Hydraulic Press?

...I put all that stuff in a milk crate that lives at the bottom of my 12-ton press frame...

Where would we be without milk crates? They have to be high on the list of mankind's most important inventions.

If I need to move my press I raise the table and run my hf lift table under it. I used the same lift table to raise and lower it before I put a hand winch on it.
 
I have the same press two inch steel wheels on it. Just don't leave the press plates on while moving it.
 
I put casters on mine and they are fine. I also replaced the wimpy little feet with 2" x 3" x 1/8" angle iron.

Franco, I rigged mine the exact same way. The footprint is about 24", and I don't have any trouble moving mine around in the shop if necessary. Concrete floor.
