Piano Moving Info
|
What equipement is used to move pianos? A piano mover is a moving expert that specializes in transportation of pianos and other particularly heavy and cumbersome objects (photocopiers, machines, marble, artwork). Because of their volume, weight, mass distribution and fragility, pianos are very difficult objects to carry and should be handled by Vancouver piano moving professionals. Effectively, the can tip suddenly and also cause damage to surrounding walls and objects if not handled properly.
Piano Moving Methods: - one-story building with stairs are narrow or rotating - distance between the street and housing - piano value - concert grand piano or baby grand, concert piano - building containing more than one floor, without elevator - passage through the window needed
Transport is usually done by truck equipped with a power tailgate. The piano gets covered in moving blankets and then strapped to the piano skip or dollies where access is possible. Grand pianos need to have their cover removed to make lighter and easier to move, then the front leg is removed and the piano can be tipped on it's side. The remaining other 2 feet can then also be removed. The piano will then also be strapped and tied to the walls of the moving truck. A well executed piano move doesn't usually require retuning unless the instrument passes through changes of temperature or humidity.

Self packing is also fine but please be advised that the content of the boxes will not be covered by our insurance policies. You can pick up the items at our Vancouver Moving office or we can deliver them to you for a nominal fee. Large orders in Vancouver might qualify for free delivery. For non fragile items and if you have time on your hand it is the most economical option.
