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

A hand truck with pneumatic tires. You also NEED one or two CAMLOCK STRAPS to hold the item to it.

i was pondering tonight... what are friends for?  then i saw your thread  :)

imhififan actually posted a link to a very unique hand-truck.  I actually have not seen one like this.  The problem with most hand-trucks, even if they have large pneumatic tires, is that you still have to have an enormous amount of lift to get the hand-truck up each step.

This hand-truck from northerntool has a 3-wheel rotating assembly.  Watch the video in that page.  It's worth $100.

It actually looks like it's back-ordered on Northern Tool.  It's also available on ebay for $99 + $22 shipping.  Just search for "Strongway Stair Climber Hand Truck".

There are other places on the web that sell similar 3-wheel hand-trucks.

+2 on northerntool, but if not then a regular one much less chance of hurting your back than these other ideas , particularly the " amp ambulator ".

In five weeks I'll be moving our stuff from storage to a new house.  My audio room is the "bonus room" above the garage, about 15 steps up from the main level.  My amp weighs 110# out of the box, speakers are 122# and subwoofers are 133# each.  I've hired movers and walked thru the move with the owner, so he'd understand what's involved.

After the boxes are hoofed up the steps, getting my son & son-in-law to help me unbox the components and get them up on the stand.

I guess the next step is an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon?
