Pianos and specialty items
Heavy, awkward and precious items handled by trained crews using piano boards, stair climbers and custom crates.
From $390upright piano, ground floor to ground floor. Sample price.
Overview
A piano is heavy, but the real risk is the balance point. Uprights are top heavy and grand pianos need their legs and lyre removed before being strapped to a piano board. Our specialty crews have moved pianos up Paddington terrace stairs and into harbourside apartments by crane.
We apply the same approach to pool tables, gun safes, marble tops, sculptures and antiques: assess, plan the route, protect the item and the building, then move with the right equipment.
How it works
- 1
Assess
Photos, measurements and access details for both locations.
- 2
Route plan
We plan stairs, turns and, if needed, a crane or hoist.
- 3
Protect and move
The item is wrapped, strapped and moved with specialist gear.
- 4
Set in place
We position, level and remove protection. Tuning is arranged separately.
