Yeah Steve, they are like that. I typically use 2 locking on that back of the cabinet and 2 free rolling. The best mobile base I have found is the Jet Mobile base. It requires nothing else to be added and has tool less construction. It will adjust to any size up to it's max. It is also rated up to 600lbs.

I have the Jet on my table saw... however, I don't see any advanate to using a mobile base on a cabinet like this. Great for other tools but a cabineted piece of equipment like your talking about I would use castors. Just bolt them direct to the cabinet. Take a look at the red wheels at
