180 move down stairs

I am getting my 180 this weekend.


How hard is it really with 4-5 people to move one down steps with out dropping it?

glass? my friend and i (2 people) moved 170g. it was a bit heavy, but not bad.

yea glass. it is apparently a little thicker than the normal 180.

good to hear though

DO you have to go around any corners?

When I moved my 180 I used a refrigerator mover. Made it really easy.

I did it with 4 guys and a my GF spotting for us, around a 90 degree landing halfway down.
We put the tank on its bottom, and just slid it down the stairs like a sled. Got to the landing, stood it on its end, turned it, and slid it the rest of the way down on its bottom again. It was a big wrestling match because the staircase was kinda narrow, but we got it without an issue. Take off the railings first.
How I'm gonna get it out??? I dont know.

Well, I ended up with an acrylic 185 instead of glass, and it was a piece of cake to move down the steps
