I'm hoping you've put some thought into how extremely top heavy this 8' tall wall will be.

I'm not trying to insult you, AT ALL, just making sure you are thinking everything through.

How tall are your ceilings? Have you left an appropriate amount of room to be able to tilt these up AFTER you have added the cross braces for the likely no shallower that 3' wide base platform and casters?

Are you planning to edge the "wall" in hard wood? The edges of drywall are very brittle, and are likely to take a beating being movable. I'd suggest possibly looking into a plywood face rather than drywall, and maybe even a center wood "core" with insulation on both sides... depending on how you usually track things.

Have you considered cutting your wall in half (4x4') and implemented some type of latching device so you can stack when needed?

Good luck with it.
