Fit Notes
- Treat clearance like a straight stair unless a guardrail narrows the route.
- Open risers do not add usable carrying width.
- Protect treads and wall surfaces during large moves.
What Fits?
3-seat couch
Often works if carried upright and the landing has enough pivot space.
Queen mattress
Usually clears on edge because thickness is the limiting dimension.
Folded treadmill
Remove console parts when possible and check landing swing clearance.
Upright piano
Weight, balance, and landing turns usually require professional movers or another route.
