Equipment needed to transport pianos and grand pianos

Transporting keyboard instruments is a task that requires not only experience, but above all, the right equipment. Pianos and grand pianos are delicate, heavy and expensive objects that require specialized equipment to move them safely.

In this article, we provide a complete overview of the necessary equipment used by professionals.

Piano dolly (piano cart)

An essential tool in the transportation of keyboard instruments. A piano cart is a sturdy platform on wheels, usually equipped with:

• Reinforced steel or aluminum frame
• Four heavy-duty swivel casters (often lockable)
• Surface covered with non-slip material
• Fastening straps or safety strips

Piano carts are available in various sizes to fit upright pianos, grand pianos and smaller electronic instruments.

Truck with hydraulic lift

Thanks to the hydraulic jack, you can safely load the piano into the car without excessive physical effort and the risk of damaging the instrument. It is a cart equipped with:

• Hydraulic or pneumatic lifting system
• Mechanism that allows smooth raising and lowering of the instrument
• Height adjustment (useful for loading into a car)
• Sturdy safety belts with tensioning mechanism

Fastening straps with racquet

Professional belts with a ratchet mechanism (racszeta) allow:

• Securely attach the instrument to the cart
• Stabilization during transport
• Easy tensioning and clamping force control

The most common are 50-75 mm wide belts with a minimum load capacity of 500 kg.

Stair climbers (stair climbers)

Special devices to facilitate transportation up stairs:

• Electric crawler staircases
• Manual wheelchairs with support wheel system
• Powered stair platforms

These are just a few of the listed equipment needed to transport instruments

More instruments will be added later.
