Is anyone aware of a company that makes a sturdy rolling riser platform for heavy tools. My 932M is due to be delivered in the next four weeks or so and I’d like to lift it 4 or 5 inches and be able to roll it around if the need arises.

Use the casters you want, at the height you want, with the fit and finish you want. . . . Priceless YMMV
 
It may be a good time to learn how to weld. It's mostly just practice. A good dc machine and 7818 rod even makes my welding look half decent . What is the difference between a farmer and a welder? The welder knows he can't farm.
