You might not need a footer, but instead use 4" solid cinder blocks placed flat on the ground. Secondly, unless you have a pretty tall crawlspace, the adjustable metal posts will be too tall since they are generally used for basements. The cheaper alternative would be to use 4x4's placed on top of the 4" block and running up to a 2x4 or 2x6 under the 2-3 floor joists which are beneath the equipment. Put a 4x4 on each end of the 2x4.
FWIW, I am a builder and have used this approach in my house with good results

..like these from Economy Lumber work great.Existing piers should be inspected also, if they can be turned or moved at all obviously they aren't holding much weight and need shims or replacement.
I wish I could do it in my present home, but my room is on the second floor and my wife doesn't want a post in her kitchen for some reason.
from the big boxes.
I'm sure that post in the kitchen would be somewhat of a challenge to sell.
