Smooth rolling casters for hydro table/bench

What kind of casters or bearings do they use for those huge ass hydroponic tables you see on cannacribs that can be moved around effortlessly? Is it a special type of bearing? Is it the wheel size? What's the particular quality to look for in a caster to give that effortless glide???

Tracks or sliders with bearings

i looked into getting one of these awhile back

maybe you can steal a design or 2 with it

You mean tracks on the floor??? Ya maybe I never noticed them before. I know some just slide the top of the table and not the base.

I may actually copy the top sliding aspect for a project. Seems like a simple mechanism. Thanks man.

Yup tracks and top slides. You’ll never get a smooth motion with 360 rotating castors imo.

Ok this makes sense cuz I tried buying some nice casters and some cheapos and they both leave much to be desired in the glidey-ness department.

I thought maybe there was some special kind of bearing that just rolls like a mofo. Have you seen these 360 casters they call them. Lol. It's severs wheels in the one wheel that some pot head invention.
