Industry standard background: stairs are the highest-risk part of a safe move, moved one step at a time with control from above and below; turns change the plan because landing size must fit safe dimensions plus swing room; some older wooden staircases cannot support a concentrated heavy load, which is why the staircase is assessed in the pre-move survey. If a route cannot carry the safe safely, the published hub line applies: we tell you straight and work out a route that can, before anything is attempted.
