John,
	Nothing really quite special and I'm not especially tall either. We
use a normal grand board and push/pull up one stair at a time, set, then the
next up till the next floor. I differ with you and think that it might even
be easier for a shorter fellow when he's the one on the bottom. Since I
always place myself there (not wanting to put employees in possible harm's
way if I wasn't willing to do it myself) I've found that there are a number
of situations where I wish I could be even more compressed (lower) than this
aging and overweight body will currently allow. I'm currently 6'0" and
shrinking and about 225lbs.

Greg,

How do you those flights of stairs with just two guys?  I'm no weakling and
my 
helper (my son) works out every day, so we're not short of manpower as far
as 
two men go... so is the a clever procedure or special rigging?  I shy away 
from those thinking they could be too dangerous.

Thanks,
John

John,
We move grands up flights of stairs with only 2 guys. Player
uprights come out of basements with only 2 guys. Tall uprights to any floor
you choose. Concert grands a maximum of 5 stairs before we bring in another
helper. The CYA advise is good though.
