    how do you carry a 3000kg of photocopy machine up the stairs?

    Lets say if you had a situation where there is no lift. Only to carry up to 2nd floor a 3000kg photocopy machine.

    How would you do that?

    How many friends do you have? =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

        There are company's like 'Stair Climbers' that will do this for a reasonable price; just include the price in your quote. There are also straps that go under the copier and with two strong friends, that can lift the copier and climb the stairs. (Although, I have never tried this).

                Grab 15 random well built gentlemen off the sidewalk.
                Tell them how able-body the all look, an ask them would they like to
                test their physical talents out for a new movie trailer....

                Skip the movie trailer quote, but random able-body gents have work one or two times in my travels.

                The random gent phase usually comes about the same time the lifting strain on my poo-poo value starts making strange tearing noises.

                "Hey buddy careful...would you like a hand to lift that copier"?
                Yes thanks mate I would luv a lift, ...I can feel my anus thanking you already, thanks for the offer.

                  open the window

                  There are companies out there that specialise in moving heavy equipment up stairs

                      Simple math tel me that it's not going to happen.

                      3000Kg = 3tons
                      Avg. Man can lift about 70Kg
                      So that's 3000 / 70 = 43
                      So that means jou need to get 43 men around that copier to lift.
                      Not going to happen!

                      Out of curiosity what copier weighs 3tons?

                      I know the Heidelberg Litho Press weigh in at 3 and more tons. But then technicaly that's not a copier.

                        Still would like to know what machine that is.
                        A Heidelberg?


                        The answer is bit by bit.
                        Had to move some really heavy machines before.
                        You have to strip it into manageable pieces can take a couple of days to commission the thing.

                        3000Kg not even a standard lift can handle that.

                        ...all the stock and final product that machine will produce would also have to take the same rout??
                        Whatever

                              Let's see, a Ricoh Pro C5110s with all peripherals attached is less than 700kg.
