How to physically move large heavy 100lb amplifiers easily (up and downstairs)


Ideally with only one person, but even with 2 especially if there are stairs involved, how can I move this gear without breaking my back or hurting myself?

Used this to move 200lb+ Wilsons and Egglestonworks up 3 flights of stairs (27 steps). You’d still need 2 people (one to pull, one to make sure it wouldn’t go backward) and some ties.

The base of this cart is pretty wide.

IMHO way better than hiring 2 kids + $20 and have their backs injured, and/or drop your stuff.


You never said how many stairs. If a straight shot (as we used to say in Chicago), You could buy 2-3 sheets of 3/8 plywood and lay them on the stairs (connected with "menders"). Just tie some cloths line around the box and sprinkle some talc on the chute to lessen friction. Just drag the sucker up the stairs (amp in box of course, two people better than one).
@onhwy61,

"Carry one amp with your left hand and the other with your right. It's super important that you maintain your balance and not get your spine out of alignment. Also bound up the stair steps two at a time to cut the total number of steps in half."


Yes. This is ridiculous. Injuries are 
difficult to get over once you're over 40. After 50 they can threaten to become permanently debilitating.

Even months and sometimes years of rehab can't fully erase the damage a moment's carelessness can do.

Please be careful. 

You'd be far better off practising stretching, improving blood and oxygen circulation and getting enough sleep to heal damage as best you can.

No one tells you, so I'm telling you.
