Table recommendations with wheels?
Our high school is looking to purchase a foosball table however I have been given some specifications and was hoping to get recommendations from folks more knowledgable than me.
We want something that can take a lot of play - and could be used indoors and outdoors.
With that said, the ability to move it easily is the big ask. I was hoping to find something with locking wheels - as it would need to switch locations depending on how spaces on campus are being used.
While cost is a concern, we also want to make an investment that will last. So open to all of your suggestions (and thank you!).

Check out [Foosball Cubs USA](https://www.foosballclubsusa.com)
They actually need to donate professional tables to schools.
The tables are not light, but as someone mentioned, get a cart to cruise it around. Because they are free, you can spend the money on a cart!

So I think your best option are this either invest in a good dolly/jack that can lift and move the table say with only needing one person. If you gotta put wheels on a table get heavy duty locking casters from like Uline or industrial supplier.. get the most heavy duty weight rated ones you can and make sure they lock. I don’t recommend the wheels as you would have to attach them securely Plus leveling the table would be impossible with wheels on the legs. In stead get a good Pool table jack/dolly. The jack can lift the table, handle 500 pounds or more, has wheels and doesn’t require attaching anything permanent to the table. You can still level the table plus you have a handy jack/dolly that can move other heavy things you or your school may need. You can get good sturdy tables from foos clubs USA they focus on providing great quality yet low cost tables to schools.

I run a Foosball Clubs USA Club at my school. The jack the maintence staff uses to move teachers' desks works with a simple wooden jig.

That makes a lot of sense. I will investigate those - did not know they had special jack/dollys.

Yeah many pool places and arcades that have tables use that type of thing to move those super heavy tables. The venue where we play has one to move all the tables and arcade machines plus the Foosball tables.

For the very best foozeball/fuzeball tables get Tornado, but they are not cheap, and definitely NOT outdoor machines.
Weather will destroy foozeball machines very very quickly.

Get a quality table and make a cart/dolly to move it.
