BEFORE you call us please.

Make sure you are in the catalog area for your kind of piano--

Full Uprights, Spinets, etc.

If you are confused, do not phone us until you have SENT E-MAIL and asked for help.

If we do not answer the phone, we are probably here-- Just try again a little later. We don't answer our phone mail too well.

It may be cute to see the piano go rumbling down the steps when
Abbot and Costello try to move the piano up the hill, but in real life
it ain't too cool Harry. Also, a piano only slightly out of control can
ruin your foot for a long time. If you have a habit of moving a piano
around the country, or around the concert hall, one of these trucks
would be very much in order.

One insurance claim from an injury or falling piano will more than
equal the cost of one of these trucks.

Shipping Policy:
We get your ZIP code, and we find the actual
shipping cost for United Parcel Ground, and that is all we charge.

MOVING TRUCKS AND HARDWARE

A moving dolly or truck can make the difference between disaster and a peaceful journey. It is not out of the
question for a non-professional to purchase a moving truck. Compare the cost of a truck with the cost of hiring
professionals. If the move is not complicated, this may save you a lot of cash. Also, moving companies often do
not have the best equipment, and if they do, it may be unsafe and worn out.

Consider the continuing usefulness of one of these trolleys. They are very useful for moving new large appliances
and heavy side drawer file cabinets, among many other uses. Hang one in the garage, and you will also be able
to rescue friends and neighbors who are moving large objects. Just be sure to put your name on it :-)

handles for carrying (total of 4 handles). The skid weighs 25 lbs, but it ships at the

Go to our Trolley page and look for "UPRIGHT PIANO TROLLEYS"
You will find a discussion of moving grands where they do not need to go upstairs.
As far as I know, this is a first. It may make life a lot easier on some movers and institutions.

Someone once said, and it might have been me :-)
   "The cash you invest, up front in the right equipment, is a lot less than you will
   have to spend later when the insurance company tells you that you are a
   high risk due to all the $80,000 Steinways you busted."

Think of it another way-- Who do you want to pay your money to?
A nice old hick in Tennessee, like me, or an insurance shark in Massachusetts?
Hey, we tell it like it is here :-)

Self-Lifting Piano Truck
Since 1901, this self-lifting moving truck has been used to move grand pianos easily and efficiently
by two people. This is a heavy duty skid board and dolly combination that will reduce labor costs
and eliminate costly repair bills. The biggest need in moving heavy items is control, and this truck will
give you control. The frame of the truck is 19 inches wide and the upright end piece is 36 inches high.
Padding is provided at all key points to protect the piano.
When the skid is used on stairs, the lower wheels hit the floor at the bottom of the stairs allowing
you to walk away with the truck so that four men do not have to climb up the stairs and try to lift it.
Moving quilts are still advised.
Tie off points are generously provided to stop shifting in transit.
Can roll in vertical position as well as horizontal.
Capacity- 3000 lbs. This is the heaviest load carrying truck I know of.
Frame is 67 inches long of hardwood sills, bolted to 47 inch by 3/16th inch supports.
The maker is extremely fussy about the wood and steel in this truck.
Eight raised pads to protect the piano.
Drop shipped direct from the manufacturer.
CALL us for the shipping cost.

Roll-Or-Kari Piano and Organ Truck
Two dollies with four straps, this truck combo is ready to go. Rubber and felt cushioning
protect your instrument or furniture. The adjustable straps lock around the object
and hold the whole thing together like one big trolley as you move along.
Retractable wheels allow you to easily pick the load up without groaning, and you can set the
piano or orgen down in your van or trailer for the delivery trip. Yet the casters are not able to roll
around as you travel along. Cover in graphic not included. See covers above.

Place one truck at each end of the load, fasten the straps,
and press the foot lever at each end to raise
the load and start moving.

Four 7 foot straps included.
