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.

 

Piano Moving Equipment:


The tools used are similar to normal moving tools but sometimes need to be modified to fit the needs. Dollies are reinforced and thicker blankets are used, the truck must be equiped with a power tailgate (ramp is not very safe).
