What does the stair climber do?

An electric hand truck, also called a stair climber or stair climbing dolly, is a hand truck with an electric motor. It carries heavy loads up and down stairs by itself, so you don't have to carry the weight.

At Quadrat you can rent an electric hand truck with no deposit. It carries up to 400 kg and is suitable for safes, gun cabinets, washing machines, fridges and heavy furniture.

Ideal for moves without a lift, deliveries to upper floors or trade work. Pick-up in Karlsruhe, Mannheim, Homburg and Berlin.

🏢 Office & business

Renovation, IT equipment — when there is no lift or it is too small.

Moving heavy items up and down stairs

With the electric hand truck you can move loads up to 400 kg up and down stairs, through stairwells, into basements or to upper floors. These are the most common jobs:

Washing machine on the electric hand truck in front of a house – moving a washing machine

🔒 Moving a safe

Carrying a safe up or down stairs without equipment is dangerous. With the electric hand truck you move safes up to 400 kg step by step. Secure the safe, always operate the truck tilted and work with two or three people: one operates the truck, one keeps the safe balanced.

🗄️ Moving a gun cabinet

Gun cabinets are heavy and often top-heavy. The hand truck takes the weight while a second person steadies the cabinet. Ideal when moving house or putting the cabinet in a basement or upper floor. Suitable up to 400 kg.

🧊 Moving a side-by-side fridge

Side-by-side and American-style fridges are wide and heavy. The fridge stands upright on the load plate, is secured and taken up or down the stairs tilted. Secure the doors first and check it fits through the stairwell. Regular fridges and freezers work the same way.

🌀 Washing machines & dryers

Washing machines usually weigh 60 to 90 kg and often have to go to the basement or an upper floor. The electric hand truck does it without carrying. Tip: fit the drum transport bolts before moving.

📦 Moving house without a lift

When moving in an older building or apartment block without a lift, the stair climber saves a lot of effort: fridge, washing machine, chests of drawers, heavy furniture and boxes go up and down the stairs on the truck. For moves in Karlsruhe, Mannheim, Homburg and Berlin.

🏗️ Other heavy loads

Dishwashers, cookers, filing cabinets, drink crates, deliveries and building materials such as cement bags or tiles can also be moved safely over stairs.

Check before moving: The truck is approx. 56 cm wide and carries a maximum of 400 kg. Move heavy loads with two or three people, always operate it tilted and set the handle as high as possible for more leverage.
Safety

What to keep in mind

⚠️

Always operate it tilted

The machine works at a tilted angle. Never push it upright.

👥

Heavy loads: two or three people

Especially with safes or gun cabinets the load must be balanced. One person operates the machine, another steadies the load from the front.

📐

Higher handle = more leverage

The higher the handle is set, the easier the transport.
