Staircase Move-In Checker

How to Use the Staircase Move-In & Delivery Checker

Is your staircase wide enough for your next furniture delivery? This tool calculates the Clearance Requirements necessary for a smooth and safe move. When you input your furniture and staircase dimensions, the system automatically checks for riser-to-riser gaps (typically 7-8 inches of height) and tread width floor space to ensure your move-in doesn't feel like a furniture jigsaw puzzle.

Understanding Your Results

The tool provides a Move-In Assessment based on professional moving standards:

• Perfect Fit: Your staircase comfortably accommodates the furniture with sufficient room for the movers and overall room flow.
• Insufficient Clearance: The furniture might physically fit, but lacks the necessary 24-inch side gap required for safe and easy handling.
• Visual Scaling: Use the interactive canvas to see a top-down comparison of your furniture versus the total width of your staircase.

Pro-Tips for Precise Measurement

Before finalizing your move, remember to check the staircase railings and wall sconces. These can reduce the available staircase width by 4-6 inches. Always confirm that heavy items are supported by staircases with a tread weight capacity of at least 50 lbs per linear foot.
