Hi guys.
Got a question for you all. I am expecting my new monster bash in soon. And while I always hate moving the pinball machines into my house. As I got to go up a flight of stairs to get it in.
I thought to myself how can I make this easier. Generally its not too bad to move once I have it in the house as I currently keep all my pins on the first floor.

I thought about getting these straps: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B008ASBLJI/

Or maybe this harness: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B011RZDAKS/

Which do you all reckon would be the best for pinball machines.
And I don't want any be a man and just lift it posts.
I can Deadlift over 450 pounds bench over 350 and I can press over 200 pounds over my head. I'm more than strong enough to lift. Its about being safer and making it easier. If I want to lift something heavy I'll go to the blooming gym.

Just curious what you all think... And I don't like a normal dolly as I think that would be too rough on the pinball machine. Moved lots of things with them in the past including pinball machines.. I just don't like using them.

For this one... I might be able to do that... I'll make sure my brother brings his dolly over...
But, I'd still like options like this for the future... As I might get a few older ones here and there... Not many as I prefer new machines.

But, I'm afraid of scrapping the paint and just being too violent with the game. I have moved huge soda machines with my brother and other vending machines with his dolly... But, I think its just a normal furniture one...
Don't know the difference. But, I do know I could use it for pinball. Just worried about damaging my game is all... I did take one up a big flight of stairs via a similar dolly... But, we had 3 people total helping. Just seems like a of one two three lift. ANd one two three lift...

Any way... As I said I've moved plenty of stuff with them in the past... But, its always been a pain and I just hate using them. Maybe I am using them wrong... I don't know... Just always think there could be an easier way... Maybe their isn't.... not until flubber gets invented...

I like that idea... So... I'm going to go ahead with the dolly idea to bring it in. I did buy the lifting straps.... if that works well... Then I might move two of my older pinballs upstairs to my 2nd floor.
I didn't want to have any upstairs... But, I need the room for the new ones that I am buying...
I was going to pay a moving company to move those upstairs as my stairs suck. And have a horrible turn in them...

The steps going into my house are wide and not that many... I've moved 1 game in with my brother... Wasn't too bad. We did it fast. Then I moved one game in with my Step Dad... That was a bit precarious as I almost missed a step or two. And then I moved one in with my friend and that one was fast as well...
It just sucks... And since it might be done in winter... I got to worry about snow.
But, I think as I said I'll try the dolly out... Try one person on the side with the straps connected to the bottom. And then another person to assist.
That should be fine... Or two people at the bottom... Am I over thinking this perhaps... I wish I was rich as I'd just get the stair climber dolly. That thing is nice.

Yes, that all makes sense... I can "Borrow" some wrap from work.... And wrap it up nice and good... And I like the cutting the corners of the box... I might give that a try as well...

Considering I don't max out, and those numbers were taken at the end of my sets as I like to pyramid up... Sure... Weak numbers.
I'm only 5'10''. And I lift more than most people at the gym. So anytime you want to lift together mate.
Oh and I've also lifted 225 the bench press combine weight 22 times in a row without rest. So sure... Weak numbers...

It's true... But, you can't blame me... Amazon has delayed shipment of my sarcasm meter. I've been told its a really useful device.
