Carrying items up and down the stairs is dangerous in many different ways. When you move items up the stairs, you could hurt your back if the items are heavy. Lifting the items up the stairs can be cumbersome and difficult, and it is hard to follow best practices for lifting without injury when you are moving items at an incline. If you have your hands full of items that you are moving up the stairs, you could also find yourself unable to hold on to the stair railings. This, in turn, can increase the chances that a fall will occur and that serious injuries could result. Rather than carrying items up and down the stairs and putting yourself at risk of getting hurt, it can make a lot of sense to install a cargo lift. The lift can easily move items so you will no longer have to take any risk of traipsing up and down the stairs with your hands full.
