Quoted from ZMeny:Happy to help. So the steppers that take the weight when climbing the stairs are a hard rubber. I have never seen them damage wood. I have however seen the escalera mark up a metal door threshold if you are rough.
The rubber steppers are great at even grabbing the edge of a stair really surprising how well they stick. If you have any other questions, we’d be happy to assist as the pinball dealers for Escalera. They are the real deal and fantastic to have when owning pinball machines or...well...anything heavy.

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?
