Don't buy castors anywhere but here
If you decide to buy wheels or castors or whatever, go to these guys : https://www.richmondau.com/
That's all they do, although the store at Wetherill Park has an huge selection of plastic storage bins and tubs and everything else.
They are knowledgeable people and have a massive range.

Something to keep in mind when determining what load wheels to use is, how many wheels are in contact (either part or full) with the floor.
Depending on the flatness of the floor you can end up with 3 or even 2 wheels taking the full load.
I know with my welding table I had two complete v8 engines sitting on it. If I left it in the wrong place (or is that right place) I could very gentle rock it with one finger. There was about 5 mm clearance under one wheel. End result there was 1000kg plus sitting on 2 wheels instead of 4.

To update this thread, this is what i ended up with:
Outrigger style wheels, with a piece of angle underneath that the stand rests on. The M16 studs are mainly there to ensure it remains connected to the exoskeleton, but the main load is through the angle.
