The big problem with making the 'easel' movable is keeping alignment
between the enlarger and the easel. With a steel 'railroad track'
secured to the floor, once alignment is set, it is very unlikely to
come out of alignment.
I used these enlargers for years, and I have to say that, no matter
how hard you try, at some point, you will walk right into it in the
dark. (I was only doing color work, so I had no safelights.)
It will hurt.
But with the enlarger secured to the track/floor, it shouldn't come
out of alignment.
