Moving An Upright Piano

 

Are you planning to relocate soon? If so, then it is essential to opt for the services of professional moving companies, especially if you want to move an upright piano. This is because a piano moving company will have all the experience required to help in packing and moving your piano to your new house. Still, if you’re planning you move your upright piano without asking for help from a piano moving company, you can consider the following steps.

First and foremost, you need to put the lid over the piano keys and lock it safely in place so that the possibility of damage to the piano while you move it gets reduced. You need to lift the piano straight up with the help of two people. You can also tip one of the short ends of the piano towards the ground and then lift the opposite end into the air. While doing so, make sure that you don’t support the weight of the piano on the thin front legs.

Next, you can use a four-wheeled dolly under the piano and then place it under the center or towards the rear because more weight will be towards the back end. Now, you can set the piano onto the dolly with the help of another person and roll the piano towards the truck used for moving your household items. While doing so, ensure that you hold the piano tightly. Now, you can pull the tramp out of your moving truck and then lock it into place. This is where hiring a piano moving company gains importance because they would be having the required professional experience to help move your item.

 

Next, you can position one person at the lead end of the piano to pull it all the way up the ramp. During this, two people should push it from the bottom. Once you move the piano to the inside of the truck, make sure that you have placed it by allowing the backside to face the inside wall of the truck. Once you reach the place, you can lift the piano using the help of other people and then place it onto the dolly. Now, carefully move the upright piano to your ramp and carefully ease it down. Position it in the proper location and then lift the piano to remove the dolly.
