I have done this with a LM-470 using 9 dollar movers dolly's from Harbor
Freight and plywood runners, worked great.

I have extended my HDX-5106 a considerable distance horizontally to get to
the rotator, supporting only the bottom section.
However, I would like to be able to extend it all the way for
troubleshooting a problem that occurs just before reaching full height.  It
is non trivial to support the sections other than the bottom one as they are
moving.

(An HDX-589 is the same as the top 5 sections of an HDX-5106).
