I need to move a big screen TV down a flight of concrete stairs. The TV
is large, 4' tall, 2' thick and 4'+ wide. My guess is its about 200lbs
or more. When I brought the tv up the stairs it was in its packaging,
thick cardboard and we slid the box up the stairs. Well, now we can't.
It has wheels on the bottom that won't come off. There is no where to
handle the TV except the bottom. Does anyone have any ideas on how to
get it down the stairs without destroying the TV? I am wrapping the
outside in moving blankets and duct tape. Maybe some kind of straps
like piano movers use? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the advice! I knew you guys were good!

Is there some reason you and a buddy can't just carry it?? 200 pounds isn't
really all that much for two men.

The problem is when you pick it up, it will hit the top of the
doorways.

That set of moving straps is good, but one can accomplish the smae
thing with rope. Everything big that I've moved had legs, but I did
learn one good thing from the website. Cross the ropes and have his
and my left hands on the same rope, and our right hands on the othe
one.
