I took a newly delivered CCrLE down 10 flights of stairs today on my own. I can tell you practice makes perfect with the Escalera!

I’ve had spotters on previous moves, but some of the more recent posts convinced me that came with risk (like crushing @beelzeboob’s chest). Obviously, the heart was racing as I descended with a machine I waited 13 mos for, but all went well and confidence with the Escalera is growing. That said, it’s all about technique and moving slowly and carefully!

I’ve seen posts where folks are saying going down is more difficult that going up. I find the opposite to be true, that balance shift as you’re ascending takes some getting use to, for sure.

At any rate, it’s a game changer and highly recommended. Practice, practice, practice!

Just completed an install on the step edge detector with my 2021 Escalera. Took about 30 mins. Not terribly difficult - instructions were clear and all parts were included in the box. Had some minor challenges lining up the longer axel bolts and SED parts with the frame, but figured it out. Adds a nice safety buffer - pleased with the upgrade.

I second the "yes" - I purchased and installed the step edge detectors on my Escalera last month. Moved a dozen pins without the detectors and now three pins with them - definitely adds a nice element of safety when moving a pin downstairs by yourself. Highly recommended!
