How many men needed to bring a fridge up the stairs, from the
basement. Using a rental handtruck designed for this, with a strap
etc.

How many men needed if the first ones are in good shape and 83, 72,
and 62 years old?

It is a two man job. I won't address the age issues.

The 2 fittest should be the two man team. IMO, the stronger back on
the bottom.

The stronger shoulders on the top.

The guy on the top pulls and the guy on the bottom lifts one step at
a time.

The third guy should shoot the video and be ready to call 911.

I apologize now for that last line.



Hi,
Old round fridges are very heavy. New ones are not that heavy.
Two man and handtruck is the way. If needed remove door(s).

Depending on the frig, even the newer side by sides can have some weight.
Problem is when where you have to maneuver it only has room for one
person at each end.

Bit back I had to move a side by side from one room to another myself.
Didn't really have a step but an offset. Doorway I had to go through was
so tight not only did I have to take the doors off but even the door
hinges and it had to go through perpendicular to the wheels. Ice maker
solenoid barely cleared without removing it as well. Once you remove the
doors, food contents and any glass shelving, it lightens up quite a bit.
