Do Stair Climber trolleys work with speakers

Depends on the stairs. I've borrowed one a few times before,and found You need the right step height and depth of tread for the wheels to make contact in the right places, otherwise they don't work and it actually makes the job more difficult. As for working with speakers yes. No different from moving a kitchen appliance, or anything else that you would normally move with a sack truck. Personally I wouldn't bother with a stair climber, just get a normal sack truck and a couple of crew to carry speakers up stairs.

My friend has a motorised one that he used for years with TRS subs and tops, it takes ages but does work. Manual ones rely too much on brute force and you'd be quicker and safer just carrying the bloody things. Charge properly for crew and you might have more people willing to lift heavy stuff…

i rarely find a sack barrow much use for speakers at all. nearly always have to tip it back so far to get the center of gravity where it needs to be that it's not practical. a wheelboard is endlessly useful. and for stairs.. they've just got to be carried. some stairs i can kind of flip speakers up them, sometimes can kind of slide them down. people carrying them is way better though.

Anyone tried these?

Have tried the 3 wheel variety, same experience as everyone else, waste of time, easier to carry. The one we had was steel and added a lot of weight, and the climbing action was so jerky and the handle so low it just made the whole operation downright dangerous.
