06 Ways to shipping Piano safely.

  1. To shipping a piano, we must first cover the piano to avoid scratches.
  2. To move the Piano on a flat surface, the Piano must be placed on large, rubber or pneumatic wheeled trolleys to dampen the traveling movement affecting the piano components.
  3. When you must move through narrow doors or into a narrow elevator, the solution is to set the direction horizontally.
  4. When it is necessary to move down the floor of the instrument to close the guitar and hang it into the pulley system to move it is the most optimal plan. It usually goes through the balcony and the window.
  5. When having to move by the pulley but in a position where there is no fulcrum to set up the pulley system. The method is to use a crane truck.
  6. When you must move / lift the instrument up to a platform that is more than 1 meter tall without any path. The optimal method is to use a forklift to bring the instrument up.

Moving the Piano is a difficult job

Inside the Piano, there are many moving parts. The heaviest part of the piano is the cast iron frame. Parts piano frame is designed monolithic, meaning that the weight of the piano will spread over the entire piano. This will cause imbalance when moving. Compare that to having to move an electric pole vertically, which makes it difficult to maintain. Piano surface is a glossy paint, when we move if not careful it will be quite easy to scratch the piano.

What is the weight of the piano?

When do I need to use the piano delivery service?

Although the Piano is equipped with wheels that can move the piano in a small distance, it is not suitable for moving between rooms in your home or over 50m. However, this may result in the internal components being affected and the strings falling, which can result in additional straining. Refine the machines, so when you need to move the piano with more than 50m you should use the shipping service.
