    Having moved hundreds of pins, vids, jukes,gun safes,tvs etc with the Escalera, I would be glad to teach anyone how to use the Escalera. Stop by my booth at Expo and I'll let you try one out on our stairs

    Quoted from pinballdork:

    Would you be able to make a video showing the proper operation for people unable to attend. I need something other than abusing friends.

    Check out my website I have some video's on it showing me moving games. Best practice for new folks who are a bit nervous moving their brand new game is to take it slow and one step at a time. Its all about balance and letting the Escalera do all the work. Where folks get nervous is when the center of gravity shifts ever so slightly when the feet hit the next step and the balance point shifts. There is a simple solution to that and that is to allow the feet to just land on the next step and then you push down on the handle to put all the weight on the feet and now you are perfectly balanced for that next step. (This is assuming you are going up the stairs). Do that for each step and that alleviates any balance issues. This method is slightly slower as you are stopping each step but the easiest way for new users to go until they get comfortable.
