I work for a delivery company that does a lot of flat screen TVs, usually up stairs. How well does this work on moving narrow items?

Not so hot, unless you have very wide stairs and move them up sideways. Basically its a roughly 3-inch wide strap that attaches to a shoulder harness, so you carry the weight down through your torso and legs (big muscles) rather than just your arms, which are used to help guide the object. Problem with narrow objects like flat screen TVs (even in their original boxes) is that the strap can slip sideways a couple inches as you're negotiating stairs or turns. Not a big deal when the object is 2 feet wide, like a washing machine, but could be a real problem with long narrow boxes.

We have no issues moving it around the home. If you have narrow hallways, lots of turns, or clutter it might be a problem.

This is a very strong lift. It lifts my 51 x 31 TV without difficulty . I built a consoled cabinet around this lift and I gave the Tv 3 inches inside , the lift raises it an additional 2 inches above the cabinet. It has the necessary adjustments to raise or lower about 35 inches .

yes, I moved a small entertainment center that was on a swivel base. I think it works well with furniture that sits flat on the floor.

I have found that it works OK for picking up bigger items if you take off the floor attachment and just use the wand-- the floor attachment pushes bigger things around but that's about it.

I have used this to move a 1300 pound trailer (Pace 6x12 enclosed Trailer) It worked pretty well and was easy to maneuver. Never leave the Trailer connected to this unit. If the trailer does move this unit can not withstand the force. We made that mistake. We like the product and its worth the money.

The base is stationary but the arm extends and you can move the TV from side to side. I believe it also adjusts up and down. It is in my camper bolted to a counter over some drawers. It worked well while moving down the road. Could move it out and swing in whichever direction I needed.

I use mine to haul Yeti ice chest. I have not had any problems at all including pulling it up and down stairs. It is a very sturdy cart.

With two people carrying transporting downstairs won't be a problem unless you have a kink in your stairs. If so, it wouldn't likely make the turn easily.

Yes, I use it to transport groceries from my car to my condo which is quite a distance. It can be pulled up stairs if done gently as long as it is not filled to the top meaning exceeding weight it can hold.

It does both well but would not recommend it vibration will still travel. Better to ask landlord to transfer lease to ground floor. Also this thing is huge in the box good luck getting it up stairs it is heavy good quality equipment, also what about when you move?

I've only used it to move boxes so far, I'm not sure this item would be good to move large heavy pots specially if they are round, the deck is not that big but it works great to move square items (flat sides) are easy to load and transport. The size of the deck is 9.5"D x 15"W. I just tried it on the lawn and also on dirt and it moves easily, my biggest concern will be trying to load anything that doesn't have at least one flat side. Hope the answer helps and let me know if you have more questions.

I have had a 50 inch flat screen TV on it for the past 6 months and haven't had any problem. It's pretty stable and I haven't seen any skewing when having to slide it to dust.

We (wife and I) brought box up three steps through a rear door. It was heavy and bulky. If going up / down stairs, I would recommend breaking down the components prior to moving. This was over a year ago so don't remember the particulars. The weights are part of an assembly which would have to be moved intact. As I rememember, I think it would require two people to move that assembly. I would buy this unit again, since we all love it and it gets regular use.

Not sure....but its meant for new flat screens, so probably not good for a heavy tv.

Has anyone used this by pulling up stairs? I live on the third floor of my apartment building and need somthing to help with groceries.

It will but then you can't expect much of space to move the TV left or right, also how much you can corner the TV is based on the size of the TV.
