Piano Removals

Piano moving is a specialised operation

The hefty weight of pianos varies from small uprights of 150kg to large grand pianos of over 550kg. Although you’re capable of moving a couple of furniture pieces, we do not recommend attempting to move these heavy and delicate instruments on your own. Keeping a balanced distribution of weight during the process is crucial in ensuring that a shift in mass does not end up being an irreparable disaster. Relocating heavy pianos without planning or the right equipment can result in physical injury, and your piano may never work again. Here’s where Perth removalist, Slipstream Carriers can help take the load off you!

Perth’s preferred piano movers

Whether you’re buying, selling, renting, or even disposing of a piano, our team has you covered. As certified piano movers, we’ve successfully relocated hundreds of these beautiful and delicate instruments to new homes and venues all over Perth. Our decades of experience as a specialised piano mover gives us unparalleled adeptness in ensuring we move these heavy items without damaging your floors, walls and above all, your pianos. We take careful precautions every step of the way to protect your beautiful timber floors from scratches and prevent any walls from chipping during the move.

What our piano moving process entails

At Slipstream Carriers, we specialize in pianos above all other items. With over 60 years of experience as piano removalists, we have every imaginable equipment, skill, and experience to move your pianos over all obstacles securely.

– Cushioned against scuffs

Before starting, we cover your piano with custom-made piano blankets that fit snugly around your instrument. This first step protects your piano from scratches at every step of the process.

– Gently moved across horizontal distances

We have piano dollies that are specially made to carry pianos. This equipment encompasses pneumatic tyres designed to absorb impact and protect your floor and piano from any unavoidable bumps along the ground route.

– Safely moving up and down

Moving pianos up and down the stairs is a tricky feat. At Slipstream Carriers, we have a set of different sized ramps and 3 mechanical stair climbers to help us transport heavy pianos up and down a flight of stairs. We alternatively use our Genie Lift to hoist the piano up or down from balconies, especially when stairs are not feasibly accessible.

Our prices vary with each move depending on location and size, and we’re always happy to give you an upfront, obligation-free quote.
