    Looking to get an Escalera Stairclimbing Hand Truck but not sure what size.
    Will only be using it to move pinball machines so I was thinking the 60" model.
    I will be getting the big wheel option for grass and dirt.
    Any insights as to which size is best?
    Please LMK
    Thanks

    I like the 66-inch variety because the handles (and operating switch) are a bit past the end of the cabinet. You should consider getting the oversize toe plate attachment - it provides a more secure base for the end of the cabinet than the built-in toe plate.

    I just got one from Larry at FlipNOut pinball. I highly recommend him. I think I got th 66". The big wheel is great.

    I got the 60" model. It makes turning on a stair landing a little bit easier.
    Got mine from Larry as well.
    My back has thanked me ever since.

    It depends. The taller the dolly, the more leverage you will have. I've owned all three sizes. the 72" was a pain. it barely fit in my car, I had to move the passenger seat all the way up. The biggest problem with the 72" are staircases that have walls at the top, hard to maneuver. However, maybe this is just for your house and you don't have that. Maybe you have a truck that can haul it fine.

    If it's JUST for pinballs, the 60" is probably the best. It can very easily haul a pin, and the handles are above the cab, no problems.

    I currently own the 66" and that's the best for me. I think it might make hauling arcades easier, it fits well in my car, if I can maneuver a 72" with walls at the top of stairs this should be much easier, and it as more than enough leverage (not that the 60" didn't either).

    My 2 cents.

    Order a 66" from Larry two weeks ago. He had a promotion price running. Give him a call.
