Moving a piano in Gainesville requires the skill and knowledge of professionals. Gator Saver Movers employees are trained in how to properly move a piano without causing any damage. Pianos are extremely heavy yet delicate and require extra attention. Recently a moving company from Chicago contacted us to help move a baby grand piano to the second story in Uptown Village.

For those not familiar with Uptown Village it is the apartment community located off 39th avenue where the Red Onion Grill is. The buildings are colorful and very hard to miss. After getting all the details on the location and what was needed our crew headed to Uptown Village with dollies, straps and muscle! The moving company from Chicago already had a piano board which is essential for moving a piano. The only thing they were lacking was manpower which is why they called us.

To properly move the piano it needs to be secured to the piano board with the legs removed and strapped down using high strength straps. As you can see in this picture the piano is securely strapped to the piano board.

The piano board allows a dollie to then be used to safely move the piano where it needs to go. It is advised to have at least two people at the top and three at the bottom. The baby grand piano that was moved in Gainesville at Uptown Village weighed close to 1000lbs and required every bit of five men to move. Slowly and carefully we navigated the twenty steps from the first to second floor of Uptown Village one at a time. As you can see in the second picture below it made it up the stairs.

The piano still must have the legs attached and placed rightside up. The customer was very happy and immediately began playing the piano once we had it in the apartment.
