They make dollys that are made to deal with stairs. OP should definitely just hire safe movers, though. I did, totally fucking worth it and all they had to deal with was a steep driveway, no stairs.

u/Dwf-jaken · 6 pointsr/Quakecon

Magna cart!

Seriously though, cheap folding dolly that I've used for the last 4 years.

u/ITGirl88 · 5 pointsr/sysadmin

This is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/Magna-Personal-Capacity-Aluminum-Folding/dp/B000HVVSDU

Reasonable price, decently sturdy, and folds up small enough to fit in any trunk or whatever. Would recommend short bungee cords though. Saves you from having to borrow one or killing your back lugging stuff around.

u/wrytyr · 5 pointsr/DIY

I bought this collapsing handtruck from Amazon. It's excellent, and a mere US$35, with free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HVVSDU/ref=oss_product

I bring this up because this design focuses on hinging the foot and uses extendable frame rods to get portability. It's a vertically-collapsing design, whereas yours seems to be collapsing horizontally.

u/DanceWithYourMom · 5 pointsr/Tools

I worked junk removal for a year and a bit. You will want an appliance dolly, as well as a Four wheel dolly. But definitely something more stout then what I linked. Also garbage cans with wheels are a must for loose shit, though those were seen more as disposable, we usually acquired them from customers who were throwing them out.


The dolly you linked looks like it would not last long, and the one I linked is probably quite heavy. It's probably easier and less cumbersome to just carry the appliances or furniture down the stairs, we only really pulled out the appliance dolly for the really heavy things.

u/GutchSeeker · 5 pointsr/preppers

Before I start this list I am going to say none of these are affiliate links. I'm googling amazon to give OP ideas. None of these specific products that are recommended but it's a "WTF is that?" answer to some things I'm going to bring up.

I'm going to say a plunger is the first thing I buy for a new home (and learn to use it. The "innie flap" has a purpose.)

When it comes to tools that I think are common but by friends apparently don't own until things go wonky?

Wonderbar

A back up sump pump. (I've had to dig one out at 3 am during a power surge that fried my sump pump in the basement)

If there is no power - some way to manually remove the water. There are hand-cranked pumps available that I don't think people think about needing.

A refrigerator dolly. (Apparently it's called an appliance truck and you can find them for a LOT less than this)

Tarps. Just have 3 more
than you think you'd need. If a tree fell on your house and your "old lady neighbor 3 houses up" can you help? (I have a tarp issue. I will admit it. Once they start Tarp Hoarders Anonymous? I'll join)

A basic understanding of electricity and a labeled chart in your fuse box of what switches control what in the house. Let's pretend you're not home and there is some event that causes 2 foot of water in your basement. You need an idiot proof chart that says - TURN OFF THIS THIS AND THAT if Frosty has a meltdown near the dryer.

A clamp style volt meter. Becuase you never want to "think" a wire is not live and find out the hard way.

Tiny little screwdrivers that you think you'll never need unless you loose a nose pad off your glasses.

Spare garden hose that you're not attached to incase you need to use it reroute the run off from an ice dam or syphon out something crazy. (I call him the tribute hose... he just hangs out waiting for the day he's going to get cut up for parts)

Quikcrete. - Story time. My SO got annoyed at the siding on this little part of the house that stuck out about 14" and decided the day before an ice storm was the PERFECT time to redo the siding. That couldn't take more than an hour, right? NO! We found out that there wasn't a full wall behind the siding and about 2 hours before icepocalypse hit we were trying to find a way to pour a new footing for a structural support that apparently had never supported the structure. Long story short - sometimes you need stuff NOW and the hardware store is closed. fast drying concrete can be stored pretty much forever if you keep it away from humidity)

A come-along. Straighten out or pull what ever you want.

My shop vac is a popular item when things go wrong. I think that baby has spent more time in other people's houses than I have.

Vinegar. Lots of vinegar. It's hard for vinegar to go bad and too many people I know have had "OH - ICK" issues to not have several gallons on hand at a time. You can use it to kill a bunch of nastys. (and weeds if you decide having a pretty lawn is important)

A Bow. I consider this a tool. Some people think it's a weapon. I think it's a tool. You can take down supper or shoot a guideline up over the roof of a 2 story house if need be.

Chicken wire.

Ugh... I can't remember the name of this stuff - there is a tape that only sticks to itself. It's rubber. You can use it to seal leaks or fix your couch (I will circle back and see if I can rememeber what it's called if no one jumps in)

I think that's the list for the moment.

This will be an intersting post to follow. Thanks for making us think about things differently.

u/Yeargdribble · 4 pointsr/Accordion

I really enjoy my NeoTech straps. Very adjustable. It seems the price has gone up quite a bit since I grabbed two pair years ago, so you might want to wait until more are in stock as the Amazon price seems to fluctuate according to availability.

---

I use a gig bag for my accordion. So long as you know it will be safe in a soft bag, it's much easier to transport than a hard wood shell case.

I've also used a collapsible dolly in the past to move my amp. You can get them pretty cheap in a lot of places. I think I may have gotten mine at Wal-mart. I've never used it for my accordion, but it could definitely work if you want to transport it in the hard case.

---

As for cleaner playing... practice slower. Use a metronome. You can often hide how bad your time is by playing too fast and usually you aren't actually in control when doing so. Practice slowly enough that you are able to be absolutely conscious of time and your movements. It should be very intentional. Even with a song you think you know... try practicing it at half tempo with a metronome and you'll likely find that you don't actually know it very well.... you're just relying on a sort of auto-pilot. That sort of auto-pilot can fail spectacularly.

But if you practice with control at a lot of varying tempos then you eventually even things out. Being a rush to get something fast and make it "sound like a song" usually just means you'll pick up bad habits along the way. When you do this you have spend more than double the time fixing a bad habit than you would if you'd just been patient and practiced slowly to start with.

When you only practice correctly, that's basically all your body and brain know how to do. When you practice faster than you can control and do so erratically and inconsistently... you actually train yourself to be better at being inconsistent... and then you have to break fix those hard learned mistakes.

Over time a lot of this stuff will go on relative auto-pilot, but not that sort of blind finger memory that so many people rely on where their fingers are ahead of their brains. Instead, you get to a point where your body just responds to whatever you're thinking... like speaking or typing (if you type well). You don't have to think about how to move your mouth to make each word. You think words and they just happen. But you're still in control mentally. It's just that there's no longer a huge delay between thought and action. That eventually happens with playing a musical instrument.

It's thought that this has to do with myelin sheathing if you want to look into the mechanism that governs this. But it takes lots of practicing correctly rather than incorrectly. Also, if you aren't actually being mindful of what you're doing and just letting fingers fly for 100s of brain dead repetitions, you aren't actually supporting this process in any meaningful way.

u/prikaz_da · 4 pointsr/Accordion

Like /u/stargazertony, I've got a heavy instrument with a hard case (30-some pounds altogether). I tried carrying it around for a little while once and nearly dropped it after about 30 minutes. My solution was to get one of these, though; I can put the case on there and roll it around quite easily.

u/Androktasie · 4 pointsr/lanparty

Check your local LANs at http://lanpartylist.com/ or as another commenter posted, google "LAN Party" + your state/region. I don't recommend searching by city since you might miss out on a sweet LAN only a few more miles down the road.

Generally speaking for most public LANs, assume that a chair and 3-4 feet of table space is provided for you, and nothing else. Cables are generally a cointoss, so always assume you'll need your own. You should bring the following at minimum.

  • Computer
  • Monitor
  • VGA / DVI / HDMI / DisplayPort cable
  • Headset with functional microphone
  • Mouse
  • Keyboard
  • An X360 controller, just in case a racing game is played.
  • 15' ethernet cable
  • Power cables
  • All Windows Updates installed. No one likes viruses.
  • Your computer should have a screensaver password, a BIOS password, and preferably some sort of locking mechanism depending on the venue.
  • Shareable chips, soda or water, assuming they run a community chest.
  • CASH for a community pizza run. Assume $7-10 per head.
  • Consider a folding hand truck and some bungee cords to carry your PC + monitor in. They're the preferred transport of Quakecon! :)

    The LAN host will generally post a list of "the community's favorite games" or possibly even a schedule with specific games. Install all of these in advance and make sure they're fully patched the night before game day, since bandwidth may be limited or non-existent even. Put Steam into offline mode until you know it's safe to go online.



    Do NOT bring:

  • An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). They draw too much power and can trip a circuit mid-game. Don't be that guy.
  • A space heater, microwave, lava lamp, or other power-sucking device that isn't your computer.
  • Speakers. Believe me from my days in LANmaniac that this will eventually lead to a loudness war. Small USB speakers are sometimes okay (check the host's rules) for downtime in-between games if you're showing videos to friends, but they should never be used while gaming.
  • A chair, without the express prior consent of the host.
  • A monitor or TV greater than 3' in horizontal width, unless again you have permission from the host.
  • A cooler full of ice, since spills do happen and they're not fun around electricity. Use the cold packs instead.
  • An ethernet switch, hub or router. Hosts don't like troubleshooting network issues they didn't introduce themselves.
  • Any NAS devices. An external hard drive is usually tolerable, but a mini computer with its own ethernet port rarely is.
  • An attitude.
  • Loneliness. You're there to play games with others, not play WoW solo or check Facebook.


    Have fun!

u/zdelusion · 3 pointsr/Bass

Maybe instead of getting a new amp grab yourself a collapsible hand truck? They cut out a lot of the lugging. I'm a pretty big fan of having one around.

u/LevelReward · 3 pointsr/HelpMeFind

I personally use this -- https://www.amazon.com/Cosco-Shifter-300-Pound-Capacity-Multi-Position/dp/B01IFMSKAQ (like, i literally have it folded up in my car right now). figure a box and some bungee or straps w/ cam buckles should take care of the rest

u/DongleNocker · 3 pointsr/lanparty

The monitor carrier is a great idea to protect the screen. BUT, for the cpu I suggest getting a cart like this and bungie cords to tie it all down on while traveling through the airport instead of trying to lug the case and monitor physically. I have used one of these for years, it was worth every penny.

Other suggestions:

If you have the original boxes for both, I highly suggest that you ship them via Fedex or UPS instead in their original boxes.

If you are going to fly with them, and you want to chance checking them to fly in the underbelly of the plane, I suggest you pull out your Graphics card(s) and Hard Drives, and place them in your carry on luggage, I've seen the end results of the TSA taking apart computers to inspect these part and then just tossing them back into the case willy-nilly.

u/AngreBeaver · 3 pointsr/massage

This the the cart that I have, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LMH8CCS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_4KeAzb0ZDKPEF
I use a bungee cord to keep my table from tipping. It's not specifically for massage tables, but I like that I can use it as a dolly or hand cart when I need to for other things.

u/millukie · 3 pointsr/Mommit

Ditch the stroller and get something like this that you can strap the car seat to: Brica Roll 'n Go Car Seat Transporter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0074JKQ0Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_i2CiDbM7MEPRB
Then you can gate check them all. We actually used a Magna hand cart and bungee cords last time we flew https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HVVSDU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_15CiDb9G4KKB5

Car seats that are FAA-approved should fit in the plane seats.

u/Gbcue · 3 pointsr/Flipping
u/kindrudekid · 3 pointsr/AskMen

I don't have that but I do have this Personal Dolly.

I live in an apartment and walking from the apartment to office to pick up my packages is way easier with this when I know I'm getting some heavy package or big box.

I also lend it to new neighbors moving in. They always appreciate saving their backs and make the job take half the time.

u/fuzeebear · 3 pointsr/microphones

With my mobile rig I carry my cables, snakes, and stage box in a milk crate. I carry my microphones in another milk crate. And then I have my 6U Gator case with all my gear inside (power conditioner, audio interface, mic pre, audio interface, 2U drawer with laptop and power cable).

I also have a folding cart to carry it all.

Is it Pro? Maybe not. But it works and I get paid.

u/padape · 3 pointsr/AmazonFlexDrivers

This is not the exact model my father and myself use but is this kind of cart that you can adapt. Also It not that big. Hope it helps, there is nothing worse than delivering to apartments.
edit: formatting

u/Doctor_Spacemann · 3 pointsr/motorcycles

I love the idea. But I wouldn't pay more than 250 bucks for the setup. North of 500 is just too much.

EDIT: a also found the omnidirectional caster wheels on Amazon. 35 bucks a pair. Magliner 130503 Rotacaster Triple Row Multi-Directional Wheels for Self-Stabilizing Hand Truck https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013WV7T84/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_3y5GxbH7BFJS3

u/RushofBlood52 · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

They're only like thirty bucks or something and take up so little space when not in use. Something like this is all you need.

u/peapie32 · 2 pointsr/InstacartShoppers

Here’s the link on amazon.

Magna Cart Personal 150 lb... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HVVSDU?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Sorry, it’s $35 not $30. The handle folds down and the flat part you load stuff on folds up. I’ve put 3 cases of water on that thing with no problem. Best investment I’ve made for this job.

u/n3farious · 2 pointsr/Quakecon

I've got http://amzn.com/B00EUUZAUG that I covered with a tight loop carpet. The monitor is in the original box, and the PC is also covered with the fabric bag that it was shipped with. (She's kind of a trailer queen ;-) ).

u/Cheekers1989 · 2 pointsr/InstacartShoppers

I use this:

Cosco Shifter 300-Pound Capacity Multi-Position Heavy Duty Folding Hand Truck and Dolly, Green https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LMH8CCS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_1KJ0CbMPVMGE8

u/grewapair · 2 pointsr/bikecommuting

A collapsible hand truck can be bungeed to your bike if you have a rear rack.

The San Francisco Bike Coalition has this storage problem solved in a better way: they have a bunch of different sizes of trailers you can rent for free. They also rent hard sided bike boxes you can use to take your bike on a plane.

Finally, for $300, there's the e-rovr with its added bike hitch.

u/Freonr2 · 2 pointsr/bonnaroo

re: beach cart

I have one of these, collapses super small and could fit two 5 gallon bags I would guess. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HVVSDU

u/bilago · 2 pointsr/oculus

You're not going to want to give DK2 demos running on a machine that can't output 75 fps, unless you want to get all the newbies sick. I'd invest in either a PC case for LAN use , or a simple hand truck to cart your rig to and from meetups/demos.

u/askwhy423 · 2 pointsr/beyondthebump

Like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZFR33KM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_MDFrDbEKXXAKE

We looked at a car seat specific one, but this way we can use it at home too. It fits under most seats, even Spirit.

u/noyoman · 1 pointr/AmazonFlexDrivers

This is the best...
https://www.amazon.com/Cosco-Shifter-300-Pound-Capacity-Multi-Position/dp/B00LMH8CCS

Keep a few bungee cords and nets handy and you're set. Best of all it folds so well it won't take space in your car.

u/BackdoorCurve · 1 pointr/Flipping

haha wow, just checked on amazon. Apparently I got this April, 2015 and it still works great for me. It's been used a ton, thrown around, etc and it's still holding up good enough.

u/ncsufire · 1 pointr/cade

Get one of these. I have moved two pinballs and one arcade cabinet with two people. We have wooden stairs so the person on the bottom helps lift to not mark the wood. The only thing I wish is that the wheels were a bit bigger but it makes going up stairs easy.

u/bonzothebeast · 1 pointr/astrophotography

What are the dimensions of the box that the Orion Atlas is shipped in? I was thinking of purchasing this cart: http://www.amazon.com/Magna-Personal-Capacity-Aluminum-Folding/dp/B000HVVSDU/ to carry it around.
Do you guys think this will work?

u/mysteriousboobs · 1 pointr/Dreamhack

It sucks basically. I'm not sure about the registration part, but I think that's if you haven't already bought tickets online and dpn't have your paperwork/passes, etc ready to go.

You definitely want a cart if you have a tower, the first year me and my friends went we finagled my local friend dropping us off and we stayed with his comp at the center (I think that's how that went down, lots of alcohol since and during) and we got an XL Uber to get back home when we were ready to leave the BYOC.

FYI, when we left late at night the main entrances to the convention center were closed, so we had to go out another exit... Down stairs.... That was fun.

Second year was more of the same except I bought a laptop for QuakeCon and this kind of stuff so it was less stressful than lugging a tower and monitor around, but basically you've gotta huff your stuff in someway or another.

I remember sitting out waiting for our turn into the fried chicken place nearby (it's good check it out) and a poor guy was walking down the street carrying a monitor, that's no bueno, you wanna get an uber, a ride or something, just so they can pull up and drop you off at the best entrance.

So yes, get a cart like this like I've used:

https://www.amazon.com/Magna-Personal-Capacity-Aluminum-Folding/dp/B000HVVSDU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527810216&sr=8-1&keywords=magna+cart

And plan to have a way to drop you off at the entrance, I for sure didn't want to wheel my tower through the Austin streets and hope nothing pops loose, etc, and breaks on the way.

edit: well from what someone else has said it appears the badges weren't mailed this year, so if I were you I'd plan to get in line for registration with your computer, get your badge, then go on to the BYOC from there. If they do it like QuakeCon does, someone will come down the line and give people tags and stuff for their computers to streamline the process. Good luck!

u/IC_Shopper · 1 pointr/InstacartShoppers

kmart but you can find them at costco too. its those bigger ones that cost more and are portable.


edit: this is actually the one i own that i bought at k-mart:

u/aveygt · 1 pointr/AskReddit

try something like this

u/twilightmoons · 1 pointr/telescopes

Just get one of these. They are VERY strong, and compact. We have two at the office, and I liked them so much I bought one for the house.

u/GIS-Rockstar · 1 pointr/photography

In a pinch I used a large hard laundry basket from target to carry a bunch of stands, tripods, skrims, and crap. I have this hardware cart to carry my drum/cymbal stands so I would personally use that for future shoots with lots of hardware since it's available to me already. There's probably a similar cart of some kind: direct from a camera manufacturer might be expensive so get creative with a hand cart like this (I also have that cart to carry around a set of 80-100lb scuba cylinders and it's a beast).

u/Toothspit · 1 pointr/Libertarian

There are simple solutions to problems like this. It would take 5 hours at the crank, which by your math is 20lbs of pennies for the first trip.

u/X-factor103 · 1 pointr/boardgames

All valid points so far. As an owner of this bag, I have to say that fully packed I've sort of pulled shoulder muscles using the carrying strap. That is definitely the most awkward part. I like to have the strap sit on one shoulder and support the bag by holding it by the velcro handles. It's not ideal for long distance carries, though.

Knowing that I'd be hauling it, fully filled, from our AirBnB in Boston to the convention center for PAX East's pre-convention board game night (a 20 minute walk), I went on Amazon (at my wife's suggestion) and bought one of these. Worked like a charm. Would definitely recommend for those longer hauls.

Also, can verify that despite a light rain on the walk, the games all arrived safe and dry. (I also don't have the rain cover)

Of course, the foldable dolly will be useful for other things and can collapse to fit in the back of my car if I need. But with its bungie cords it carried the game canopy with no issues. I was glad to have it.

  • A good socket set

  • Vice grips

  • Pliers (long and short)

  • Screwdriver set

  • Drill

  • 2 wheel folding truck (like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LMH8CCS/, they're super useful when moving yourself or other people)

  • Prybar (I have a set of 3 seperate lengths, they're surprisingly useful)

  • Car jack and jack stands

  • Creeper (to get under a vehicle)

  • GOOD Jumper cables (can't emphasize enough, quality matters, I spent $60 on a set that's 25 ft long and heavy duty enough for any vehicle, makes a huge difference being able to park the helper vehicle behind the disabled one and have the cables reach)

  • Tow straps (especially if you have a truck, but it's nice to have with any vehicle since you'll often find that finding people that are willing to help you pull your vehicle out of a ditch is easy, but they usually don't have a two cable/strap)
u/raider1v11 · 1 pointr/guns

no. lol if you lose it that's a ramp with a missile on it. the appliance dolly have the rubber sliders specifically for going down stairs. make sure you have at least 2 other people help you.

u/energy_engineer · 1 pointr/engineering

I modeled and analyzed this hand truck.

You could select one part... The plastic wheel, for example. Lots of interesting geometry you could use to be both visually appealing, minimal material, strength and manufacturable. Most of that might be beyond the scope of the class though. Only two points of loading too (well, I guess there are scenarios where you'd have more).

This is the one I have (this is NOT an affiliate link either) you can get cheaper ones but I wanted to make sure it didn’t fail me when I needed it.

The instacrates you can get from Costco usually, I’ve never not seen them there. Also, they’re only $7.99 at Costco and double that from amazon.. Hope that’s what you were after..

Another option is to get a little dolly and use that. pad the metal part of the dolly with some sort of cloth.

u/epicConsultingThrow · 1 pointr/HomeImprovement

We've moved quite a bit in the last few years. Here's our preference.

  1. Bankers boxes. These are tough boxes that are not too large. Plus the have nice spots to label them. We write the contents of everything contained within the box on the box. You likely won't have time. Do yourself a favor and get some colored circle dot stickers. Each color represents a room. When you're done loading them, put a color on them. When you get to the new place, use those same stickers to label each room (e.g. put a red dot on the bathroom mirror). Makes it easy to move boxes in.
  2. A nice dolly. I generally recommend this one: https://www.amazon.com/Cosco-Aluminum-Truck-Assisted-wheels/dp/B00HOGSOPG (you can get it at a Costco Business Center for about $80)
  3. Something like this for your furniture: https://www.amazon.com/9850-Carpeted-20-Inch-30-Inch-Capacity/dp/B000BD5I58/ref=sr_1_18?keywords=flat+dolly&qid=1550900979&s=hi&sr=1-18. Also get some of these: https://www.amazon.com/Thenewallhere-Adjustable-Shoulder-Furniture-Appliances/dp/B077GYQTSM/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=furniture+moving+straps&qid=1550901118&s=hi&sr=1-5
  4. We've always used Penske for our trucks. The other companies we tried always had some kind of a snag (didn't have a truck despite us having a reservation, hidden fees, breakdowns etc).
  5. If you don't have enough friends on either end of the move, use Dolly.com. In my experience, it takes twice as long to load as it does to unload.
  6. Buy a case of water at Costco and put a few Bankers boxes with essentials (toilet paper, toiletries towels, etc.) in the cab of your truck. Makes it easy to find when you're tired from moving.
  7. CREATE A SAFE SPACE. Commit to completely unpacking one room of your house entirely in the first few days. This becomes your escape from the rest of the house that will be messy for a long time. You'll thank me in a month or so.

I guess it also depends on how robust you want it, or if you want a warranty (I bet lots of the price on those things is just warranty protection).

You could buy a dolly off Amazon for $50, strap a $100 bag to it, and call it a day: https://www.amazon.com/Cosco-Shifter-Multi-Position-Heavy-Folding/dp/B00LMH8CCS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1492626619&sr=8-3&keywords=dolly

How big is it that it weighs 3000lbs? Judging from the pic below I don't think it weighs 1 1/2 ton. It looks smaller than a normal refrigerator and I'd guess weighs no more then 500-600 lbs. You should be able to use a standard appliance dolly to move it. http://smile.amazon.com/Harper-Trucks-6781-800-Pound-Appliance/dp/B0026WG51S/ref=sr_1_14?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1405126999&sr=1-14&keywords=furniture+dolly

I don't know the building codes in the Netherlands, but here in the states floors are built to easily hold something like that even on an upper floor. Check with a local builder or knowledgable person though on local construction standards.
