I may be buying a house with upstairs game room. The stairs look fine, straight not curved, wide and big landing to turn around but they are polished wood. I don't want to damage the wood wanted to see if anyone has used the Escalara and how it works on interior wooden stairs. Thanks

thanks for the replies!

I was looking at the website and saw there is optional for larger wheels ie for grass. I have a nice heavy duty dolly that is ok for that but not ok for stairs my old house was a walk in basement so I did the grass with that but no stairs. Is it worth buying the optional wheels or better to just move around on ground floor with the heavy duty dolly and use the escelara just for the stairs. I mean do the small wheels work ok on carpet for example?

Also if I was to get the larger wheels would they interfere with the stair walking parts in any way. Finally my heavy duty dolly has tread parts to help it go up the stairs but they don't really move freely and were more hinderance than help, they always got in the way on the stair lip, that is want would really damage the stairs. I use on concrete or carpet never wood but I feel like the crawler part would damage the wood. I don't have any experience with the escelara but someone above said to watch for the metal parts on the wood (not the rubber climber parts). So is there a trick to prevent any contact with the stairs beside the wheels and the rubber feet?

OK good to know, I have a nice non motorized dolly already that is good for grass so I don't think I'd want to bother with buying extra set of wheels.

But don't you have to swap the wheels on/off the escalara which seems like it would take as much time as switching to a different hand truck. OK I was looking maybe the not that much trouble to switch wheels off. I though you would need to take the small wheels off to add the big wheels but seems like the big wheels just snap on/off.

OK sounds good, what's the best place to get one? Better at a regular store or online? I'm in Orlando if anyone knows a location.

Fortunately the house I’m looking at has a wide landing, can stand it up to make the turn etc...

Spiral stairs look nice but they are not easy for moving a pin up or down I'm sure.

I saw a lot of videos to decide and came across this might help it says the escalara can go anywhere a normal dolly will go.

That was great, I might get the fork lift/flat plate too. How much is that flat plate and fork lift?

I was thinking if there is room (I didn't measure) but if I could place apiece of cloth or something maybe I could rotate like a top the entire dolly and pin attached then move to next step rotate again without moving from the dolly.

I'm looking in Florida (No basements) and people don't always build a house with pinball in mind. So what can I do? If the house has a gameroom that's already hard to find. Most homes in Florida don't have gameroom, so if I do find a house with a gameroom then it's on the second floor (but no elevator) what to do? If I eliminate every house with gameroom in second floor then I'd be eliminating 80-90% of all homes.

Zach is the edge detection system an option on all models? I was always curious how you can tell when to press the down switch.

(I changed the title of this thread also to Escalera information thread).

I will be ordering one soon.

I’m the one who started this thread because was getting an upstairs gameroom. However had change of house and now only have 3 steps at the front of the house.

I might be looking at a metal ramp like my moving guys used. Don’t think I’ll need an Escalera for just that little bit.

Anyone have any information or advice about metal ramp.
