Fit Notes
- Short runs reduce carrying distance but landings still decide pivots.
- Measure the half-level between adjacent levels exactly where the flights change.
- Entry doors near the landing may become the true bottleneck.
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.
