The same stand, rolling
Liquid Stands MS1080
The MS1078 on wheels, at two dollars more: the same 250 lb rating, the same straps and headphone hook, the same width steps — and a height step of 1.5 inches rather than 1.25.

- Load rating
- 250 lb stated — the only wheeled stand on this shelf that publishes a capacity (maker’s bullet)

Wheels. Two hundred and fifty pounds. Height 22.5 to 33.5 in in 1.5 in increments; width 22.5 to 33.5 in in 2 in increments. Two anchoring straps, four adjustable feet, anti-skid foam pads, a headphone hook. $79.99.
This is the same stand as the maker’s MS1078 with castors added, and saying so first is more useful than restating the specification. Same rating, same ranges, same width step, same straps, same feet, same pads, same hook. Two dollars apart.
Two things actually differ. It rolls — and an 88-key weighted piano on a Z-frame is an awkward two-person lift and a one-person push, so on a hard floor that is the whole purchase. And its published height step is 1.5 inches where the MS1078 publishes 1.25. A quarter of an inch of granularity for castors is the trade, stated by the maker in both listings, and it is the only pair on this shelf that differs in exactly that way.
It is also the only wheeled stand on this shelf that publishes a capacity. The cheapest wheeled stand here, at $44.99, publishes no load figure, no height range and no width range; the most expensive, at $159.99, is this maker’s own kit. A rolling stand carrying a 45 lb instrument at chest height is precisely the case where a number ought to exist.
What is not published is whether the wheels lock. The cheapest wheeled stand here states that its do, in so many words; this listing says wheels and then separately lists four adjustable feet, which on stands of this design usually means the feet take the weight once the stand is parked. That is a reading, not a specification, and on a stand that will be leaned into while standing it is the thing to settle before ordering.
The product record gives 7,310 g (257.9 oz), against 7,000 g (246.9 oz) for the same stand without castors — which is roughly what a set of wheels weighs, and still a shipping figure rather than a weighed frame.

The questions players ask
Is it the same stand as the MS1078?
Almost, and the differences are worth knowing. Same 250 lb rating, same 22.5 to 33.5 in ranges, same 2 in width step, same two anchoring straps, same four adjustable feet, same anti-skid pads, same headphone hook. Two things change: it has wheels, and its published height step is 1.5 in where the MS1078 publishes 1.25 in. So two dollars buys castors and costs a quarter of an inch of granularity. That is a smaller trade than it sounds, but it is the real one, and no other pair on this shelf differs in exactly that way.
Do these wheels lock?
Liquid Stands publishes nothing on that, and this page will not assume it. What the listing does publish is four adjustable feet alongside the wheels, which on most rolling stands of this design means the feet take the weight once the stand is placed and the castors are there for the journey. The cheapest wheeled stand on this shelf, at $44.99, states locking wheels in so many words. If a stand is going to be played standing, with a player leaning into it, that distinction is the one to settle before buying — and only one of the three wheeled stands here settles it in writing.
