I'm just wondering how you guys manage to get furnaces and boilers (big heavy mofos), up and down stairs, in one piece.

We always take them apart and break the cast iron blocks apart to remove them in manageable pieces.

Thing is though, I've seen these things at the scrap yard, and occassionally they'll be left outside for us, and I can't figure out how anybody manages to get these things in and out in one piece?!

How do you do it? Some kind of special dolly? If so what dolly do you use? Or do you have a regular dolly that you've modified to make this work?

I'd love to be able to pull these out in one piece without having to dismantle them in the customer's basement before pulling them out, it would be faster, more efficient AND cleaner this way. I'm hoping we don't have to spend $1000 on some kind of specialized dolly but if that's the only option I'm not going to turn it down.

Any advice would be appreciated!
