Best Dolly to Buy for moving pins?

Hello
I'm about to buy the princess auto 550lbs appliance truck to move my pins to the basement.
The staircase is 3 ft large, 14 steps and go direclty to the basement (no turn).
It' made of soft wood and I don't want to scratch or put black marks on the tread bullnoses.
websherpa has suggested using a large cloth under the dolly.
Do I slide the cloth under the dolly before I go down/up or do I have to strap it onto the truck over the stair gliders??
Thanks

@ExportZ :
I use a Princess auto dolly with no issues. The rollers/belts work fairly well to protect the stairs as-is, much better than my crappy Mastercraft dolly that broke and took chunks out of my stairs. Don’t put a cloth or whatever on the stairs directly, that seems like a recipe for a fall, just go slowly one step at a time with a helper on the bottom. No need to cover the rollers in my opinion. If you want to be super cautious maybe a few strips of 2” painters tape to protect the bullnoses?
