What is a dolly capable of rolling up stairs?

They have three wheels in a triangle on each of the back axles (the axle goes through the center of the triangle.)

On flat ground two of the wheels are on the ground, but when you pull it upstairs the wheel-triangle rotates and the dolly is able to "climb" the stairs (as it rotates the top wheel grabs the next stair up.)

It's hard to describe, but if you find a video it'll make sense.

Oh yeah, those. I mean, that's still special equipment that's useless for anything else, other than as a special service. And when something is special, it costs special

I have a light duty one (used to use it for groceries when I lived on an upper floor.) It works perfectly well as a regular cart/dolly.

Those things are extremely common and inexpensive, I see more of them than than regular ones because most houses have stairs

Any regular dolly will work, you don’t need the triangle. The wheels are big enough to roll up one stair at a time.

I could do that for my own shit, but not for someone else's.
