1. Make sure you have ample ground clearance (4+ in.)
2. Bigger tires go over bumps easier, so having a relatively large wheel size helps.
3. To go along with 2, a tire with some give also makes the transition over a bump less severe, so pneumatic tires work extremely well for that.
McMaster P/N# 22925T71 also comes in a rigid form factor that allows you to use the ideal steering setup of 2 casters and 2 fixed wheels.
Hope it helps.
