The basic problem would, like air casters, be the floor.  I'm guessing these automated pallet paddles have relatively small steel wheels and would not play well with most stage floors.  Maybe some of the engineered wood materials would work.  There used to be a product called lami-floor, thatI had used on a couple of stages.  It was developed for factory floor recovering and its ability to hold up to steel casters was a main feature.

Well, considering practically everything we use onstage was stollen … I mean borrowed and modified … from some other industry so I’m sure we aren’t done. ;-)
