Hi Hank, thanks for reaching out to us. We truly appreciate you considering this fantastic chest freezer for your home and are happy to provide you with these dimensions and some guidance in moving it to your basement! The lid with gasket is approximately 3" in height and can be quickly removed to accommodate more space! Given the freezers overall height of 33.5", the freezer height will be approximately 30.5" without the lid. Since you have to make a turn in a narrow space, removing the lid will also help you prevent any damages. You can find instructions to remove and reinstall the lid on page 8 of your Use and Care Manual here: https://files.bbystatic.com/zMjcR68SkWJkrxuK7Q5B4A%3D%3D/e6e948a2-da49-45af-884d-01ab387d0a95.pdf. - It is very important that the freezer stays in an upright position when moving it and you should avoid standing it on one end if possible. If moving it in an upright position is not possible, lay it down on the compressor side of the unit and be careful to secure the door to prevent it from opening. Once in its final location, set it upright and allow it freezer to sit for the same amount of time that it was on its side (24 hours max.) before connecting electricity. - Please feel free to reach back out if you have any additional questions about this installation. We are always happy to help! -Eliza@GEA
