Castors that can be raised?

[misterfish]

I seem to remember Norm having a very simple solution to a problem like this where a quick/slight lift in a table allowed castors to drop and some hinged piece to also drop and lock the castors down. All it took was a pull on a piece of rope to disengage the castors when positioned. One was then easily able to work with the full weight of the table on the ground rather than castors.

This was http://www.newyankee.com/getproduct.php?0207 - I'm sure 'someone' will have recorded this if you wanted to see it.

Im in the workshop 90% of the year, which means i dont see much sun. I was looking for a way to be able to move my bench outside, whilst still having the sturdyness of the feet. Saw this which seemed like a good idea.

Sorry for the poor picture quality.Camera phone snap and go moment.

Trolley jack and an x beam? I have a 5'6" or so roll cab and top box which is massively heavy when loaded it that sits on castors quite happily.
