| If you have never had
the displeasure of moving into an upstairs apartment
or a home that has a second story then you have
never been faced with the challenge of moving dozens
of large boxes up one if not several flights of
stairs. What about appliances? Some places have
all of the laundry hook-ups upstairs and that mean
that you have to drag a washing machine and a dryer
up a flight of stairs. That still does not even
cover the topic of furniture. Hutches and dressers
and cabinets all need to be moved up those stairs.
So how do they do
it? How are you supposed to get any or all of
those items to the top of the stairs? You could
try a hand cart but as soon as you move up one
stair the whole load just might shift. What if
this happens when you are at the top and the whole
load goes toppling down the stairs? There are
hand trucks that have built in straps and they
can be used with some success but the ultimate
tool for this job is the stair climbing hand truck.
It is a super hero in times like these.
These wonderful tools are
built just for this situation and they work great.
They are available in different versions. There
are manual ones. These are less expensive. This
type has built in sliders making it very easy
to slide the whole load right up the stairs. No
more bumps on every step. There are also models
that have an electric motor that actually lifts
the whole hand truck and load up and onto the
next step. All you have to do is hold the handle
on top and push a button and let the hand truck
do all of the work. Now that is working smart!
