If you have a place to install it, a hoist will work better than any hand truck. Got mine in the garage joists adjacent to my side door/stairs to mancave. Wife operates hoist with remote as I steer the attached handtruck up or down the steep staircase. Can also lift Pin from truck bed to garage floor. Harbor freight has em for around $100.00 on sale
Quoted from Choggard:Take a picture of that.. I am can't seem to picture what a hoist attach to a door would look like..
Not attached to a door. Attached to bottom of Joists in garage in line with garage door and basement door to house via beezeway. I can take a pin up or down the stairs easily. It also lifts the machine out of a truck and lowers one into a truck. Just strap Pin into Dolly and attach hoist cable to dolly and have you buddy or wife cntrol the hoist as you guide it up or down the stairs. Fraction of the cost of an escalera, twice as safe, and does more.
The only thing a spendy Escalera will do that a Hoist cant is go mobile. It does the trick at the home front however.
Quoted from JoeGrenuk:Here's how I did it...I had the bracket that holds the winch fabbed up. Installed 4 hanger bolts into studs next to the door opening. The studs protrude about 3/8" when the bracket is removed. Had the sled fabbed as well, and covered the bottom with a sheet of industrial peel and stick teflon. This obviously only works for a straight up staircase, but it is so good, I sold the Escalera.

Ok Joe,you and I are on the same page,but I currently just attach the winch/Hoist to a dolly and let it do all the work.
Wondering what keeps the Pin on your sled from sliding off?
