Lifting such a monstrous piece of equipment is back-breaking work, even if you're only lifting it onto a dolly. Many times, confident homeowners attempt to lift a piano and not only damage the instrument but injure themselves. Next time, err on the side of caution: let professionals handle the heavy lifting instead.

Transporting a piano requires careful preparation, the right equipment (dolly, blankets, straps), and help to lift and move it, typically by tilting it onto a four-wheel dolly, securing it, and rolling it onto a ramp into a truck, using leg power, not back, and then securing it for transit, with grand pianos often moved on their side. For a safe move, measure paths, protect the piano with blankets, use proper lifting techniques (knees bent), and secure it in the truck to prevent shifting.
