My big basshorns have castors in the back near the bottom, and a built-in handle on the back. So to move them, you rock them back onto their castors and push them. It's sort of like having a built-in dolly or hand-truck.
I've also used home-made carts made from baltic birch and castors. In a way, it's like having a riser or stand but the castors make the stand "rollable". Sort of a semi-permanent situation where I don't have to modify the cabinet.
The mold for my H290C waveguides weighs 1800 pounds, and I keep it in a crate. When I store the crate, I have it on a cart with heavy-duty castors. That way I can move it around the shop, although it's like pushing a car. I use an engine hoist to lift it, when needed.
