They’ll definitely do the job. You can find network data racks on casters as well.

What about using one of these? 200lb max capacity standing, 150lb in motion capacity…

Wheels look way to close together so it would be tippy. I used wood and mine has shelfs and on heavy caster wheels. Yes I know wood is frowned upon but it works awesome for me. Easy to change things too.

We built our own using 1 1/2" 304SS square tubing, but I saw a slick set up using a speed rack, with the columns mounted on beams set at the proper height and a raised walkway behind them for servicing and ancillary equipment.

I have a wood rack too, I definitely agree it’s not what ‘should’ be used, but it works just fine and isn’t dangerous on its own.
It takes a lot of heat and flames to make a 2x catch fire.

Does wood produce static? That’s my only worry about going that route.
so long as your wooks don’t rub themselves against it too aggressively you’ll be fine…

This is why we don’t allow cats in the lab. Wookies rubbing on them and then discharging all over the place.

Had a buddy suggest using a engine jack stand as a possible rack solution for a collection vessel. Most of them are below $100 have casters standard and hold a half a ton or so comfortably.
As far as the material columns as long as you have the mounting clamps you can put them anywhere with some strut bar and any load bearing structure.
Somewhere out there a wook has a 6"x48" mounted to a tree

Unistruts and some pipe clamps (ideally wrapped in some rubber) does the trick and gives you a very solid mourning point as long as you anchor the unistruts to the wall properly.

Pro tip for using unistrut with tubing since most strut hangers are sized for pipe rather than tube: a short piece of the low profile unistrut run perpendicular to the strut makes a good cradle/spacer for most sizes. I’ll snap a picture to demonstrate this when I’m back in the lab
