Rod,

Can you provide more details on that stair-climber thing you made to bring your B3 into your basement?

Thanks,
Steve

Steve,
Thanks for the earlier reply.

I too would be interested in anything you can share about the "stair climbing thing"

Thanks,

Cost a little money but you can rent trucks like these:




Multiple variations of these are built and also manual ones with 3 wheels that rotate.

At about 5pm today, I became the official SMC "enabler" and I think Steve might be closer to his decision. It's so nice to help folks spend money. LOL

Yeah, Jim stopped by and convinced me that I can fit the 79x48 into my shop. It might be tight on occasion, but I think it will work fine. Thanks again, Jim!

ALWAYS a pleasure... (to spend someone else's money LOL) But seriously, I really do think it will work and the deal is much better, too.

B3 022.jpgHi, it's a wedge shaped frame with a winch.

I had to make it because the top of my stairs has a very small right angle landing, so the machine had to be pushed onto the stair climber so it could be sent down the stairs.

If I had a straight run down the stairs I would have just winched it straight down

The B3 is on a piece of plywood with casters, I had to use the shipping pallet to make a temporary landing for the main house entrance.

Here's a shot of the B3 going through the front entrance.

Rod what did you use to grease the sides of that thing?

[Mike Weaver]

Come on Jim, I had almost 1/4" to spare overall

Like I always tell the guys at work when we're moving equipment, if you can fit a business card between the pieces you have enough clearance.......Rod.
