Correction on my current process with a standard dolly…it’s been a while since I’ve personally moved a machine up the stairs:
From the floor, we dolly it up to step #2. These are straight rolls for the wheels.
Rolling up the next few steps forces a turn on the machine because the steps are turning. As I recall, these turns don’t really correspond with the available space for a big machine on the dolly (or maybe they just don’t keep us in the center of the steps - don’t really recall).
So from step #2 to about step #6 (so for the next 4 steps or so) we have to carry the machine, more vertically than normal, and gradually turn it 90 degrees.
Once we get to about step #6 or so, the steps are straight again, so we set it down, rest a moment, and go back to standard dolly rolling.
This is why I was thinking about doing a temporary “restructuring” of the steps that might allow more dolly usage, and thought if that works, can I do it so my buddy’s Escalera could be used?
Just not sure how realistic this idea is…
