Had to choose between two different moving dolly types for my crew last month
I run a small moving company in Austin and we needed new dollies for our next big job. I had to pick between the standard 4-wheel furniture dolly and the flat platform cart with pneumatic tires. The flat cart costs about $80 more per unit but handles stairs way better. I went with the flat carts because three of our last five jobs had staircases. So far they've saved us at least 2 hours per move and nobody has complained about scraping walls. Has anyone else had good luck using those stair climbing attachments for dollies?

Those stair climbing attachments seem like they're designed by someone who never actually had to haul a dolly up a flight of stairs. I've heard way more complaints than success stories about them, and it sounds like you made the right call skipping them altogether. The extra cost for the flat platform carts probably paid for itself in the first job you used them on.
