How to transport a piano correctly

1

Check weight and route

An upright piano weighs 150–350 kg, a grand up to 600 kg. Measure doors, hallways, and stairs beforehand – tight winding staircases are where DIY ends and professionals begin.

2

Lock the lid, protect the edges

Lock the keyboard lid or secure it with stretch film, wrap the body in blankets, double-pad the corners. Remove the pedals – on a grand also the legs and lyre.

3

Move with straps and a dolly

At least three to four strong carriers with straps, a dolly on level ground. In the van, place it against the wall and strap it tight – its own castors are no transport securing.

Which vehicle do you need?

For an upright piano, the 2.7 m class with lashing points and an anti-slip floor is enough; for grands or several floors without a lift we recommend a special transport with experienced carriers. All dimensions and payloads in the van guide →
