Features

This design makes it easier for the trolley to be maneuvered either upstairs or downstairs. They also come with two handles that help in increasing their strength. The nose plate width (where your load sits) also varies from 7 to 14 inches. Some stair are battery powered although they are relatively expensive and have a stair sensor that helps prevent the climber trolley from losing control.
Function
Generally a stair climber trolley has six wheels with three wheels on every side of the triangular design. The topmost wheel usually rest on the upper stair case step and the other two wheels sits on the lower stair case step. This helps you control them easily as it either moves upstairs or downstairs.
