I'm not sure if your primary concern is about from truck/trailer to
the stage or during scene changes on stage. With rare exception, for
on stage scene changes, I agree with the recommendation for the
zero-throw AKA triple swivel, 3-ways (?!), zero offset triple caster,
et al. For trailer to stage, I wonder if casters with larger diameter
tires than typically found on a zero-throw wouldn't make that part of
the journey with door saddles and changing surfaces easier. And I
seriously look at two fixed and two swivel on a cart - a lot easier to
steer usually.
If you get to any projects I worked on hopefully loading won't be
hard. I have a firm rule that it be possible to roll a car onto stage
and carry a 21' piece of pipe without going vertical onto stage.
Architects that bury stages in the middle of a big school should be
severely disciplined.
