FAQ
Can You Move Pianos and Heavy Items? – FAQ from iBox Moving
Can You Move Pianos?
Yes — iBox Moving specializes in handling heavy, delicate, and high-value items, including upright and baby grand pianos. We have the equipment and experience needed to move your piano safely.
What Types of Pianos Can You Move?
- Upright Pianos: The most common household piano — tall and vertical. We move these regularly.
- Spinet & Console Pianos: Smaller upright models, perfect for apartments or smaller homes.
- Baby Grand Pianos: We can disassemble and transport baby grands safely with proper prep and padding.
How Do You Protect the Piano During the Move?
We use professional equipment: piano boards, heavy-duty straps, moving blankets, and shrink wrap. Our team secures all moving parts and ensures your piano is transported upright and safely loaded.
Are There Extra Charges?
Yes — piano moves require extra time, equipment, and manpower. We’ll provide a flat quote or additional hourly estimate depending on the type of piano, access (stairs/elevators), and distance.
Can You Move Pianos Up or Down Stairs?
Yes, but we need to know in advance. Certain staircases or tight landings may require additional planning or crew. We’ll do a quick walkthrough (or ask for photos) to assess the best approach.
Do You Tune the Piano After Moving?
We don’t offer tuning services, but we recommend tuning the piano a few days after the move — once it acclimates to its new environment.

Moving Tips & Guides
How to Move Heavy Items – Tips for Safe Lifting and Transport
Think Before You Lift
Moving heavy furniture and appliances can be dangerous without a plan. Always assess the weight, shape, and path before you touch anything.
1. Clear the Path First
Before moving anything bulky, remove rugs, cords, or clutter. Measure doorways and hallways to ensure your item will fit through safely.
2. Use Proper Lifting Techniques
Bend your knees, not your back. Keep the load close to your body and lift with your legs. Never twist while lifting — it’s a recipe for injury.
3. Use Moving Tools
Dollies, straps, sliders, and lifting harnesses can save your back and make the job easier. These tools are worth the investment or can be rented affordably.
4. Disassemble When Possible
Break down beds, tables, and large furniture into smaller pieces to reduce weight. Remove drawers or doors to make items easier to handle.
5. Work with a Partner
Don’t try to lift heavy things alone. Communicate clearly with your partner — use signals or count to move at the same time.
6. Protect Floors and Walls
Use furniture blankets and corner guards to prevent scratches and dents. Place cardboard or mats on floors for extra protection.
