Why it’s Important to Hire Piano Removalists

Piano removals have a common misconception surrounding them: It only takes a few strong friends and a truck or trailer to move a piano.

Piano movers are also fully aware that a piano is not just an instrument or piece of furniture. They know that most of the time the piano is a family heirloom passed down through the generations and its intrinsic value is worth far more than the dollar value and should be treated carefully and respectfully.  

Not using a respected piano removalist will often lead to higher stress and a higher possibility of injuries or damage to your piano and floors. When it comes to the removal of especially large, heavy items such as grand pianos and upright pianos, it’s important to hire professional piano removalists to transport your piano correctly and safely and responsibly  

When undergoing home removals, people often opt for doing the furniture removals themselves. Making sure your possessions get to your new home safely can often cause a lot of stress and this is amplified when transporting something as large and cherished as a piano.

It’s quite often that general furniture removalist companies will advise that they do piano removals as they believe they can move anything. We at Acme Carriers are expert piano removalists and have the experience and knowledge on how to transport pianos correctly. Here are some reasons why it’s important to hire an expert piano mover for your piano transport:

 

Experienced and Safe Piano Handling:

A specialist piano removal is different to moving general furniture and requires different experience, skills and equipment. Pianos are often awkwardly shaped, heavy and expensive. Piano removalists recognise this and are trained to perform piano removals with this in mind. A piano removalist company uses professional staff that have been trained to correctly remove a piano without any damage using equipment personlised just for pianos.

Hiring a piano removalist also means that you aren’t at risk of possibly injuring yourself if you were to attempt the removal of a piano. Piano movers are trained to lift and move pianos without injuring themselves, reassuring you and relieving you of stress.

Piano removalists recognise how special and important pianos can be. Damage to a piano can cost thousands to repair or are possibly irreparable. Piano removalists are capable of maneuvering pianos through doors, down stairs, through windows and over balconies without damaging the piano. Specialist piano removalists know the best strategy for removing pianos from any home with the utmost care.

 

Correct Piano Removal Equipment:

The most valuable tool specialist piano removalists have is their care and attention. However, the right equipment makes the process of piano removal safer and easier. Piano removalists will supply the correct equipment required for the piano moving and transport, including specialist piano lifts, pads and dollies to ensure that the piano is transported efficiently without the chance of scratching.

 

Piano Removalists Storage:

Many piano movers also provide storage for pianos. If you’re in between houses or waiting to transport your piano to its new destination, or no longer have the space for one, specialist piano storage is ideal to prevent damage from storing them in unsuited places. 

Here at Acme Carriers, we offer safe piano storage for short-term or long-term piano storage. You can store pianos for days to months, even years at a time. Pianos are stored separately with sufficient padding to keep them secure and safe, dust free and away from heat and cold.  Then our piano removalists can transport the piano back to you when it’s required.
