Stairs are tough no matter what.
i am told the new omni cart is great for stairs. i have no first hand experience. I did borrow one to use on an install last week and it was greeat. As advertised.
I get nervous just thinking about going up stairs with it, but I hear it works great for that.

10 teams! That’s quite a lot to manage. Congrats on being so busy you can keep that many guys installing.Matt, I can’t find a picture of ours. Basically the same as these:

Sit them in from of the cabinets with the high side towards the cabinet. We pick up the part with clamps and carry in and sit on the first step. Bend knees, drop clamps 8 inches or so and re grip and set on top step. From there, it is easy to pick the part up if need be, or to lay it over onto the cabinet ( mostly on islands).

Congrats on being so busy you can keep that many guys installing.Ya Tom that’s a lot of work to manage and to supply these guys two to three jobs daily that’s a lot in the shop and office as well as templater’s. I guess in this market you need to be busy or you go broke and broke fast. We are working 85 jobs weekly with an increase coming that will bring 45+ more weekly. At that point I’m not sure where or how the work will get done but it will happen as it has before.
As to the weight we carry we have bumped the sq that the teams now carry. I’m not happy with it but I guess if it is what the boss wants I guess then I will need to , as the safety mgr, figure how to safely carry the material and then train the guys in the field. It may require that there are many more carts and carry devices but to safely do things right you must sometimes spend some money. That I’ll have to work on with the boss.Again thanks guys for the input.
