I'm moving next week and I was wondering if I can load my sofa using U-Haul dolly. I'm not sure if dolly works on stairs or not.
That would depend on how your stairs were built. If you had a lot of overhead space and the stairs had no turns, an appliance hand truck would work well. You could stand it up and strap it so that you could maneuver it right out the door. Or even just a piece of card board where you lay the sofa on it's back and slide it down. If you had stairs that turned you would probably need help carrying it. A sofa is one of the trickiest pieces of furniture to move. There is usually a lot of twisting, flipping, and turning when it comes to getting a sofa up and downstairs and through doors. You can let the dolly work for you when you get to a flat surface, but the stairs would be a bit more difficult because of the angles. In the end, you can use a dolly to the point when you can no longer use it. That time of uselessness will eventually come up, when talking about stairs. If it can get you down a majority of the stairs, than I say go for it. Just be aware that you might have to do some lifting during the process of getting the sofa out of the door. They do have specially made stair climbing hand trucks, but than again the effectiveness depends on the type of stairs.
Well that really depends on how large the sofa is If its like love seat size then that may work but if its full size your going to struggle with a hand truck not to mention fitting it through doorways your better off with a flat floor dolly set the couch on it push it Probably going to save you a headache if you find second person to help carry it then set it on a floor dolly and push it to your truck a hand cart with a big couch and one person will be a struggle hope that helps Lr
The appliance hand truck which has a big strap you could stand the couch up and wrap the strap around the couch. You will need help navigating the stairs but it's doable.
