Fit Notes
- The landing must be deep enough to rotate the item before the second flight.
- Ceiling height above the landing matters more than the straight run.
- Measure both flights because railings may differ.
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.
