It's very sturdy and built well. In my opinion yes. Is it guaranteed,, no. I hope you understand.

had mine for two months, the locking mechinisam started popping open from time to time & now I haft to lock it manualy everytime. will not hold up to to many stairs without putting a pad lock in the handle to secure everything fom flopping out. give this a 2.5 out of a 5 star rating because, it cant withstand an adult sitting on any of its tops and the locking mechanism failure. OK BUT NOT FOR ROUGH TERRAIN.No one has creadted a toolbox that is sturdy, light weight and with a simple, fast, sturdy locking mechanism.

I think it would hold up great. I slam my tool box drawers all the time and they dont move.

It wheels easily, yet I have to be careful not to push it forward on large sidewalk cracks. It will easily maneuver over cracks or gravel if I pull it behind me on the larger back wheels. It is fairly sturdy. I learned from experience that I do not recommend going up/down stairs with it when it is full: I had a laptop and an Ipad, file folder, my medical supplies and moved it up/down a set of four steps 4-8 times into a mobile home that did not have a ramp. One of the back wheel poles got bent, and I had to order another Polder cart. The lightness of the aluminum is worth it to me. I cannot find anything more sturdy that is as portable. I now pick the cart up by the basket if I have to go up stairs- only a few. Otherwise I would carry my supplies in their bags on my shoulders and leave the cart in my car.

The wheels are not motorized so I really not sure how well that would work, however if the ground is frozen I suppose it would work. I like that's its light enough to carry up and down stairs so I can do my driveway and my second story deck at the back of my house too.

yes, absolutely take it upstairs in pieces. too heavy to do otherwise. be careful and good luck !!

Probably not if you attempt to move it. The wheels are just not strong enough or constructed in a manner to last,

Yes. It is quite nice and has worked without issue through two moves. I even damaged it with a door and have not suffered. It is not overly cheap or fragile.

I've never used it to down stairs but I would imagine if would work just as well as going upstairs.

I find this cart easy to handle on stairs depending upon how much weight you can handle. The cart alone is no problem. What I find most difficult is turning the front wheels to tuck them in when wanting to close the cart and put it in the car trunk.

No, It goes up stairs better than the standard two wheeler, but the wheels need to be about twice the diameter and the handle longer. It does do good over rough terrain.

Not very easy to go down stairs. The unit is heavy and the wheels would probably crack if you let it drop down each step. With two people you could carry it down but still awkward. Best way to move it is lift upnon the handle and roll it around behind you.

Yes, we used it for treads and risers on stairway with spindles. Have to be a little careful with narrow attachment so as not to gouge or sand uneven

I have it supporting a tool box full of machining tools and its not showing any signs of stress. However I don't much care for the wheels, they make a large racket when rolling it across the shop. Ben's answer is pretty spot on with the weights. I like the little cart and find it suited my needs at a good price. The lack of a top level lip going around it was the selling point for me.

6 step might be too steep. Yes will withstand the elements. Its pretty heavy and sturdy.

It's easy enough for fold up for taking up and down stairs, but if you have 2 kids in it, I imagine pulling it up 5 steps would be tricky--the wheels are not very big.

You have to build it, its in many pieces the box would be easy to carry up stairs size wise but its heavy

Depends on the surface you are travelling over. If it's smooth, level floor (concrete or wood) you shouldn't have a problem, if the surface is uneven (thresholds or rugs say) or is on an incline you might want to use a rope attached to the opening on the platform itself. The wheels seem capable of handling the load but you might want to check the manufacturers specs to make sure.
