Piano
An upright piano is more compact than a grand piano, but can weigh several hundred kilograms. Transport straps, piano scooters, protective blankets, edge protection and ramps are often required.
A piano cannot be transported like an ordinary piece of furniture. Weight, sensitive mechanics, narrow access and secure attachment in the vehicle require experience and suitable equipment.
Pianos combine high weight with sensitive mechanics, sensitive surfaces and limited grip options. The effort depends on the instrument as well as doors, stairs, elevator, walkways and parking situation at the pickup and destination locations.
An upright piano is more compact than a grand piano, but can weigh several hundred kilograms. Transport straps, piano scooters, protective blankets, edge protection and ramps are often required.
Depending on the model, the legs, pedal unit, music stand or other parts of a grand piano are professionally dismantled, protected and reassembled at the destination.
Digital pianos are often lighter, but have sensitive electronics and heavy keyboards. Cables, pedals, stands, display and keyboard must be protected.
A lightweight digital piano requires less effort than a heavy piano or a large concert grand. Make, model and dimensions help with the assessment.
Every floor without a suitable elevator increases the personnel and time requirements. Width, slope, turns, platforms, railings, ceiling height and sensitive wall surfaces are crucial.
Travel time, arrival, return journey, traffic, waiting times and long distances between the vehicle and the building are taken into account in the calculation.
In the case of wings or impassable entrances, special work and a crane may be necessary. Permits, installation space and security measures should be clarified at an early stage.
Check what damages are covered, whether the instrument value must be reported, and what liability limits or exclusions apply.
Tape should never be applied directly to delicate painted or wooden surfaces.
Addresses, appointments, instruments, floors, team size, vehicle, protective material as well as dismantling and assembly should be clearly listed.
Compare transport straps, piano scooters, protective blankets, ramps, crane or furniture lift performance and securing in the vehicle.
Pay attention to directions, surcharges, insurance information, payment conditions and a comprehensible calculation basis.
The costs depend on the type of instrument, weight, floor, lift, stairwell, walkway, distance and possible crane requirements. An individual offer is the most meaningful.
Yes, provided the door width, cabin dimensions and load capacity are sufficient. The entire path between the apartment and the elevator must also fit.
Depending on the building, a crane, furniture lift or alternative access via window, balcony or terrace can be examined.
Movement and a changed indoor climate can influence your mood. A later check after acclimatization often makes sense.
Yes. The request is free and non-binding.
The request will be forwarded to a maximum of four suitable specialist companies.
No. You are free to decide whether and to which specialist company you place the order.
