Default Stacking Washer/Dryer trick?

According to Dan Espen :

If the washer is set on the platform, there is no way we can get the
dryer on top of the washer and bolt the mounting kit (on the back).


Just the thought of lifting the dryer that high...


Clothes dryers are pretty light. Under 140 lbs.
2 Adults should be able to lift that with no problem.


Right. But the washer cannot be in place for the dryer
to be installed. So, the dryer has to be lifted on top
of the washer, and then the whole assembly moved (and
possibly lifted) 4".

How is the latter normally done? Brute force?

I'm trying to think towards the future, eg: not being physically
capable of lifting it, but still needing to service it. Has
anybody tried roller stands? Eg: stationary power tool type?
