How to physically move large heavy 100lb amplifiers easily (up and downstairs)
Ideally with only one person, but even with 2 especially if there are stairs involved, how can I move this gear without breaking my back or hurting myself?
Buy a hand truck; it's cheaper than physiotherapy.
Kent English of Pass Labs once had to move BIG amps up a flight of stairs. He walked them up it (in boxes, obviously), end over end. Not the easiest, but doable - as long as you don't let it slip!
A keg is a lot bigger and heavier than an amp, and we were able to carry one cross-country with two people just about any distance over just about any terrain. We took an empty 50 lb onion or potato sack and stuck a dowel (broom stick) through each side. You could make one out of an old pillow case, or a large bath towel or two. Mine we called the beer stretcher. You have permission to call yours the amp ambulator.
