ACE,
I built the planer stand pictured. I wish I had modified it to put some casters on the end which has nothing. It's not move friendly, because you have to hold the end without the wheels in order to "steer" the unit. The open space shown in the photo, in my experience, is a great place for shavings and sawdust to fine a home.
If I were to start over, I'd build a cabinet, completely enclosed, with decent drawers and of course, 2 wheels and 2 casters. (probably cannibalize an abandoned grocery cart!-perfect)
