A piano is one of the trickiest items to move. It is heavy, awkwardly balanced and easily damaged — and so are floors, walls and doorways if it is done wrong.
Why pianos are different
An upright piano can weigh 200–300kg and a grand far more. The weight is unevenly distributed, the casing scratches easily, and the internal mechanism can be knocked out of tune by rough handling.
The right gear and technique
Proper piano moves use specialist trolleys, padding, straps and sometimes a piano board. The instrument is wrapped, secured and moved by a team that knows how to balance and pivot it through tight spaces.
Leave it to the specialists
A DIY piano move is how people end up with damaged instruments, dented walls and injured backs. RAB Removals moves uprights and grands across Perth with the right equipment and a careful crew.
