How well do the wheels handle stairs? I have to go up 2 flights of stairs everyday?

I used this bag at school. although I sometimes had to go up and down stairs I usually carried it because the large amount of students I had to share the stairs with and I didn't really have time to gingerly pull the bag up the stairs. However I just filled it with books and tried on my basement steps which have 13 steps and it did alright going up and down, but you kind of have to go slowly. I hope this helps.

That is what it excels at, slopes and inclines where round wheels may not be the best. No slipping or sliding. This machine is a tank and is very difficult to move even in free-wheeling mode if not powered on.

I think you would be better off with one of those metal ones that has bigger wheels. This particular one has small wheels and probably would not handle the stairs that well.

I've never tried this, but I imagine if the steps were a fairly shallow rise and just a few of them at a time, you could go over them. If the steps are steep you may have trouble going over them w/o dumping your payload. The cart is definitely built well and durable enough to handle a few steps.

I find this cart easy to handle on stairs depending upon how much weight you can handle. The cart alone is no problem. What I find most difficult is turning the front wheels to tuck them in when wanting to close the cart and put it in the car trunk.

Hi Nanette. I haven't tried dragging the cart up stairs so I can't answer this. I will tell you that we use it to take supplies to and from our boat and the cart travels over a rough gravel parking lot and then down several LONG wooden docks to the Marina then down more docks to the boat slip. The wheels have held up fine so far. Karen

It's not light but I can pick it up and carry it short distances. It does have wheels which might help. I have wheeled it between buildings but I have not tried to move it up and down stairs. Anyway, going down would be lot easier than going up which might require two people.

I haven't tried but once to move it. It was easy as it has wheels! If no stairs, you're good!!!

Hi: The cart and wheels can support quite a lot. I have several of them and use to organize basement - so crystal/wheels are loaded down yet still easy to move.

Yes. We have a two-story house, and my wife and I were even able to carry the main portion of the unit with the flywheel up a staircase with a 45-degree turn using moving straps, and she's not that big. :)We've also wheeled the unit between rooms on the second floor of our home without having to take it apart. It is pretty long, but you grab it from the back and it tilts up on wheels under the front/flywheel area at which point it can be pivoted and steered around. Our hallways are pretty tight but we were still able to move it around easily. Even with the wheels, it is quite heavy when assembled so I would recommend the wheeling-around being a two-person job.

The plastic wheels are a bit flimsy,, but I do store the unit Standing upright in my shed & roll it out for use - over the door jam & on grass & dirt. It is quite heavy, but if you keep it on an angle the wheels support the weight. I don't think you could pull it up a very steep hill, without a struggle. If the manufacturer had made rubber wheels.. it would probably be easier. But the hard pastic wheels are not very forgiving.. Hope this helps.

Yes, I was able to bring it up a full flight of stairs and it held up beautifully. I was very happy with the purchase.

Not really, it might be too big and heavy when full to carry up steps/stairs. I would get a smaller cart. Try a different cart made for stairs.

I have not had any problems. The wheels are very sturdy and placed properly for balance.

Heavy duty wheels would be a problem because the legs are circular and only 2 inches in diameter at the bottom. Sliders would work and if your floor is smooth it does slide easily.

The wheels seem to move well. I have wall to wall carpeting and it moves well...
