If you are thinking about moving a fully loaded 52U rack. Don't. A fully loaded rack can weigh over 1ton. Rolling that across a raised floor will damage the floor. (also, very few of my racks have wheels. they were removed to evenly spread the load onto the floor.)
What?
A properly designed raised floor will have no issue with a 2,000lb dynamic load, or in fact, even a static load.
Talk to me when you've installed, managed, relocated a Sun E10k/E15k, HP Superdome, Hitachi 9980 array or similar enterprise gear.
I've done all of those and each one has a cabinet that weighs more than your rack will.
The Sun E15k was the heaviest cabinet of the bunch. Having to push those up a long ramp into the data center was an experience, but completely do-able. Rolling it across the data center floor was easy compared to getting it up the ramp and over the door threshold (who the F installs a metal threshold leading into the data center?! That Sonofabitch made for a serious speed bump!!)
