A piano may sound fantastic but have you ever tried moving one?

Moving your piano requires a matter of skill, tactics, special equipment and experience. We have the knowledge and experience to go into any situation and assess the intricacies of a piano move and properly construct it’s safe and secure transportation. 

Before I get too far with this, I'm going to put out a disclaimer: Hire a professional moving company to perform your hoisting needs. There are so many things that can happen, from the furniture being damaged or destroyed to somebody being seriously injured. Hoisting furniture is a skill that can take years to hone in on, and even us professionals are careful to only pick our experts for all jobs that require furniture hoisting. 

So how do you know when a hoist is sufficient, and when you might need to use a hydraulic lift or a crane? These factors will help you decide what will be the right choice for your move.​
