In the goofy department ... At one time I imagined having exterior loading doors on condos so you could palletize everything to "pack" and move quickly (albeit using a crane). In a sense the OP shows scaling this up, but it now occurs to me those "loading doors" could be interior, leading to a freight elevator, with hallways large enough for pallets.
- wongarsu 6y agoI guess this kind of exists in the form of wide windows. In Europe buildings with narrow stairs often have windows that appear conveniently placed to move large furniture in and out via crane or lift. See also e.g. [1] for various devices advertised for just this purpose. Palletizing everything on top of that would make sense to reduce how long the moving van is required, at the expense of adding more steps. I'm not sure if that's economical. 1 https://www.erento.com/mieten/baumaschinen_baustelle/aufzug_lift_foerderung/moebelaufzug https://www.erento.com/mieten/baumaschinen_baustelle/aufzug_...
