Anyone use one of those battery powered stair climbers (e.g. Powermate, Elektro Truck) to go down steep stairs? All the pictures and videos I see seem to be either on "typical" stairs (e.g. ~37 degrees), or where the operator has plenty of room to tilt the dolly backwards when preparing to go to the next steps. My Bilco stairs are ~45 degrees down and have about a 7.5" rise per step. It's a pain to get anything down them, and holding onto a dolly when the item is that far below you is never any fun.
For reference, my Harvey bandsaw was delivered yesterday and it looks great in my garage. My shop is in the basement however and the direct route down there is via those Bilco stairs. I've moved large tools down those stairs before (Hammer A3, Hammer K3), however for those I built a ramp onto the stairs and we lowered the items down using ropes tied to a truck. Gravity does most of the work in those scenarios, but both of those tools are short and not anywhere near as top heavy. A bandsaw is a different beast, especially when it weighs around 400 pounds. My moving crew also isn't readily available anymore, so I was thinking about renting one of those stair climbers. I've found a few posts here on the Creek where people used those, but the situations seem a little different than mine thanks to the steepness of these stairs.
