Snap together laminate flooring is available in some fairly inexpensive types and quick/easy to install with no floor prep. I also understand there is a type available with a
synthetic backer rather than a processed wood type material - not susceptible to water damage. And the hard/dense floor surface would seem to be friendly to casters and jacks. Heavier dropped stuff would definitely put a dent in it. Has anyone ever tried this? Would have to be careful with brake application as it would push and slide.
