Piano Dollies – Equipment For Any Piano Moving Situation

Piano Dollies used to come with grand pianos in order to allow the pianos to be moved safely and easily from one area of the house or music room to another. Many older grand pianos found in homes across America are on the dollies that came with their unit and many people have thought that the wheels were part of the piano, not understanding that they can easily be removed, replaced and stored until the need to actually move a piano arises very easily.A traditional style grand piano mover is a 3 legged piece of equipment that, when folded up, is very compact and can easily fit into the side of a home closet or easily slide onto a shelf. The unit expands by allowing the legs to unfold by straightening them from the unit and then by extending the legs by adjusting them with a wrench. When purchasing a grand piano mover it is best to know the measurements of the distances between the legs of the piano. The piano dollies come in different sizes in order to allow for maximum strength with smaller sizes for storage purposes. Many units will expand several inches, even feet, away from the base, but having a piano dolly that is too short will not serve the intended purpose and may leave you having to carry one leg by yourself.A new grand piano mover has recently been introduced to the market that is much easier to setup and weighs less than traditional units, without sacrificing the strength needed to safely transport your piano. The new style of Grand Piano Dolly also has fewer adjustments to make in order to use it. The spider-like design of traditional units has been replaced by a straight line conventional design making the unit simple to setup, take down and store. There is no need to ever suffer from a sore back again from moving your grand piano. Be sure you have a grand piano dolly to help you along the way.

Piano Dollies – Different Models of Moving Equipment For Different Situations

The fourth definition of the word “Dolly” when looked up in the dictionary is “any of several kinds of low, flat, wheeled frames for transporting heavy objects, as in a factory”. The first definition is that of a child’s toy. I like to combine the two dictionary definitions when describing a piano dolly by saying that a piano dolly is tool that can make moving a piano as easy and fun as playing with a child’s toy. Nice oversimplification, I know, but you get the point.

If you have ever tried to move a piano without the aid of a piano dolly you will certainly understand the need to have a tool to help you out. Pianos are huge, heavy and do not have convenient places to hold onto when transporting them. Pianos are also expensive and to risk damaging a leg of a grand piano or having an upright fall down on its side is too great to even consider. The final consideration, and any piano mover will tell you the most important, is that of safety. With pianos weighing sometimes as much as 1300 lbs, the people who move them need to be careful to not get injured. It simply is not practical for a human to pick up most models of pianos by hand. It is also not practical to try to drag a piano across a floor. The damage to the floor could be tremendous if you were to try. All of the reasons stated are why we have piano dollies.
