Piano Removals: Specialist Movers for Uprights and Grands
Giant Van moves pianos across 146+ UK towns and cities. Our crews use the right skates, boards, and straps for upright and grand pianos, so your instrument arrives in the condition it left in.
Why a piano move needs a specialist crew
A piano is not shaped like other furniture. Its weight sits low and off-centre, and a small knock can throw the internal mechanism out of tune or damage the case. Standard removal trolleys and straps are not built for that kind of load. Giant Van sends crews trained specifically in piano handling, with the equipment and technique to lift, wheel, and load a piano without putting strain on its frame or its legs.
What's included in every piano move
- Goods-in-transit insurance for your piano as standard
- Piano skates, padded boards, and ratchet straps
- A crew sized to your piano, not a generic removal team
- One fixed price agreed before moving day
Upright and grand pianos, moved the right way
An upright piano stands on castors and can often be walked short distances on a piano skate, though its height still makes doorways and stairs tricky. A grand piano is a different job. Its legs and pedal lyre are usually removed before the move, and the body is wrapped and strapped onto a padded piano board so it can be tilted and carried safely. Giant Van crews assess your piano type before the move and bring the right equipment for the job, not a generic set of straps.
Stairs, doorways, and tight access
Staircases, narrow hallways, and tight turns are the main reason piano moves go wrong. Our crews measure doorways and stair widths before the lift begins, and use piano boards, ramps, and stair-climbing equipment to keep the piano level and under control the whole way. Where a staircase is too tight for a safe carry, we can talk through options such as hoisting through a window or removing a door, so the move still goes ahead safely.
