Hiring Professional Piano movers
Why is it so important to hire an experienced and trustworthy Central California piano moving company? It isn’t solely for convenience. Instead, utilizing the expertise, equipment, and tools of a professional mover ensures that both you and your instrument stay safe throughout the entire journey!
The average piano weighs an estimated 750 pounds. Some models are as heavy as 1,400 pounds! This fact alone makes do-it-yourself piano moves dangerous for both you and the instrument. Attempting to move, load, transport, and unload an item of this size without proper equipment and experience can lead to serious injury. Even if you manage to escape injury, your piano may end up damaged beyond repair.
Why? Pianos are exceedingly fragile, and can be damaged even with the smallest of impacts. They are also very expensive, and can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars to repair. In some cases, damage to pianos cannot be repaired, no matter how much is spent. Due to the special skills and equipment needed to successfully move these amazing instruments, DIY moves are extremely risky. In nearly every instance, spending a small, up front cost to hire professional movers is always worthwhile.
Fully eliminate the potential risks, injuries, and stress involved with trying to move your beautiful piano yourself by investing in the cost of hiring experienced piano movers. Affordable and trained in the techniques needed to handle your piano with the utmost care, our team will save you pain, expensive repairs, or even the loss of a treasured heirloom.
Piano Movers Require Specialized Equipment & Training
Because of their hefty size and fragile design, specialized moving equipment is an absolute must when lifting and transporting a piano. Attempting this type of relocation without industry-grade tools and equipment can quickly result in a negative experience. Your chosen Central California piano mover should always bring the following items:
- Specialty tools and equipment
- Piano dolly
- Upright
- Baby Grand and Grand
- Tie down straps
- Moving blankets
- Shrink wrap
- Furniture dolly – 4 wheeler with carpet on top
- Piano dolly
- Truck
- Either a liftgate or a ramp depending on the size/style
- Tie downs in the truck to secure the piano for the ride
Even if you have the needed equipment on hand, it is meaningless without the right skills. That’s why our five-star crew at Southbay Moving Systems is trained in the techniques and intricacies needed to safely move and transport a piano. From the necessary prep work to disassembly/reassembly, our staff knows exactly how to move each unique piano style.
