When you’re moving house there are many things you need to organise. If you own a piano you’re likely worrying about how you’re going to get it to the new place safely. Avoid the stress of moving the piano yourself and hire a specialist for piano removal to make sure your instrument arrives in excellent condition.
Keep on reading to find out the 5 reasons you should hire a specialist piano removal service.
Piano Weight and Size
Pianos are one of the largest instruments and are rather heavy, weighing around 300 to 600 kilograms. Their weight and size make them incredibly tricky to move around, particularly manoeuvring them through narrow hallways, staircases and doors. Experienced removal men are equipped with the right tools and know-how to carry pianos and transport them safely.
Protecting the Instrument
Pianos are made of wood and have extremely delicate interior parts like strings, hammers and keys which can get damaged easily. Specialist movers are knowledgeable about pianos and how to prepare them for removal, helping to protect them from damage.
Preventing Injury
Attempting to lift or carry a piano is likely to cause injury if a person isn’t well-trained or well-equipped. Specialist removal companies have the right equipment for the job. Ramps are used to navigate stairs and dollies are used to lift and move the piano. Some companies even have specialist removal vehicles which have anchor points to strap the piano to the floor to minimise movement during transit
Insurance Coverage
Since many things can go wrong when transporting an instrument of this size, comprehensive insurance is needed. Piano moving companies have specific insurance to cover the items they handle so compensation can be provided if the item becomes damaged.
Piano Storage
Another reason hiring a specialist piano removal service is recommended is the option of piano storage. Should you want to store your piano for a while between moving out and moving into your new house, specialist removal companies offer storage solutions to store your piano ahead of your move while you get everything in order.
