Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could add some portability to a workbench?

The workbench is nothing special, just a pine top, 100 by 19mm (2 by 4) legs and supports, a slatted shelf across the bottom and a couple of drawers tacked on after.

The reason I want it mobile is so that I can add tools and jigs to various sides at once, while storing it in a corner when not being used.

At the moment I end up dragging it around though this is cumbersome and makes the feet uneven.

I had considered adding a couple of cheap platforms to the outside legs and using a pair of scissor jacks (one at each end to lift the bench so that it is then supported by castor wheels on the lower platforms.

Ive attached a basic design of what I have planned.

Is this a foolish idea or would it be something that would work?
