Common questions
Before you spec a machine for appliances
Which LiftKar® do I need for refrigerators?
Size it to the heaviest unit you deliver. The SAL Pro carries up to 380 lbs on stairs, which covers most washers, dryers and ranges. Large stainless and built-in refrigerators often run heavier, so crews that deliver them run an HD Pro, rated 440 lbs in class 220 or 800 lbs in class 360.
Does one person still need a helper?
The machine climbs and the operator balances and steers, so nobody carries the weight up the stairs. Many crews still send a second person for tight turns, doorways and setting the unit in place. OSHA lists delivery drivers, material movers and nursing assistants among the jobs with the most strain injuries (OSHA ergonomics).
Is it hard on the stairs?
The climbing unit lifts the load from step to step instead of dragging it over the nosing. On the way down, the HD Pro’s automatic step-edge brake holds the load on each edge. Send us a photo of an unusual staircase and we’ll confirm it’s a fit.
What about the curb and the driveway?
With the Dolly Kick-Out, an HD Pro rolls the load on support casters from the truck to the stairs, then switches to climbing. For ground-floor drops with a step or two, a ModulKar BOXER with stair glides and an appliance toe plate costs far less.
Can you set up a whole fleet?
Yes. Tell us how many trucks you run and what you deliver, and our team in Loganville, GA will spec the machines, toe plates and spare batteries. You can also buy through an authorized SANO dealer.
