Stairlift-laminate flooring

[paulc7617]

Hi all intend to laminate my hall removed old carpet by releasing all bolts and lifting stairlift slightly i.e. all the main beam up a bit.However when i come to laminate underneath i will need to lift the beam and stairlift a fair bit higher,is there a easy way to do this,was very heavy to move even slightly.
Thanks in advance

Keeping in mind that I am only guessing what it looks like, firstly, I would make sure that the chair is at the opposite end of the stairs than you are working. Get a friend to help. Then use a suitable length of wood as a pry bar (The longer you can use, the easier it will be) Another small piece of wood underneath to act as a fulcram and gently lift the rail up to allow the Laminate to be slid underneath. MIND YOUR FINGERS!!!

Just to say have layed the laminate was a real ball ache though!!Took 3 off us to lift the beam and chair high enough to allow room to lay the laminate.Had to lift and resecure the beam approx 5" to allow access.Never again!!!!!
