Did a search. Looks cool. Where did you purchase them? Would appreciate if you have some pics....

I presume that they have some kind of ratcheting mechanism that makes it easier to go up stairs, or are they motorized? It looks like they will wheel sideways which might be helpful swivelling at a landing.

I have one of these. It is easier on your stairs but when going around the landing down the basement I just cant swing it around the corner due to it being too big with the fat wheels. Usually, with a bit of acrobatics/contortion, I remove the cotter pin and bang out the wheels on the dolly when I get to the landing. Then it is possible to remove the dolly from under the pin, turn the pin around 90 degrees, reassemble the dolly and then proceed going straight down the main flight of stairs.

GHeeeeeezzzzzzzzz !!!! I thought it was a pain in the behind getting a pin down in my games room ...

Walk-out basement is high on the wish-list for me.

Had it shipped from Australia and had my 50$ dolly machined in order to hold the wheels.

No ratchet, and motorized carts with those wheels cost 2000$.

I have one. I even modified it to make it easy for a machine to come down and go up.

I have used this dolly for over a year and it was the best investment of my life. Saved my back numerous times. As for the rubber parts on the back of the dolly, yeah they should move. That is what helps it glide over the steps.

I had a look at mine tonight and the back rollers barely turned if at all.  One was especially bad.

I opened both of them up and found:
1.  Half of the small rollers had plastic burrs and didn't spin freely, even without a belt installed.
2.  There are supposed to be washers between the two pieces of the plastic housing or the small rollers won't spin freely.  There should be one per smaller screw so three per side.  The bad side was missing a washer.

So instead of wasting 45min bringing it back I spent 10min a side taking them apart & de-burring with a file.  Now they move when I push on them with my running shoes.  Most of the time was spent trying to get the belt back on.

Lastly I used my runners and worked each side for a couple of minutes which helped loosen them up even more.

I usually bring crap back like this for the principle of it, but for $75 I'm ok with it.

Are you talking about the Damnation Alley type wheels?
