    I gave my movers extra $ and they didn’t have to move any piano! lol
    Great job guys! I hope they understood about the wall damage.

    Beast Mode!... I have moved 6 times in the past ~10yrs with moving help for only two of those moves... 3 of those moves cross country. After my last 3rd floor move, I am certain that I am NEVER going to own a piano. I just bought a house and the previous owners left a pool table (excellent condition) in the basement... I am betting that they just didn't want to move it up stairs.

      I coordinate the office of a moving company in Italy. We just don't accept this kind of job. There is no legal way to carry that load upstairs with turning stairs.
      In Italy a mover can carry up tu 25 kg and not more. No way you can do that.
      So we just don't.

It wieghs 60lbs with 500lbs capacity. I love it but I don't think it could handle a piano. You guys ready did a great job! Props for showing the damages along the way and not hiding that.

    I have been a mover/driver/packer for over 25 years. I would have politely declined that job. They certainly could have used extra help. The main thing is there is no way to get that piano up without some damage. That turn in the landing was the main problem for me.

    • @Ingotsilvergt
      @Ingotsilvergt 2 года назад

      Take the wheels off and the lid off the piano will slide up by itself the bottom is flat
      They did it right by having it on its side on the landing but putting all the pressure on that overhanging lid and hingepins
      Keep it on its side lift to the 2-3rd stair and tilt it back on its bottom and slide up
      Is a tight turn no doubt but not something I would run away from

    Long time ago I was on top of one of those pianos with a sledgehammer ready to bust it and the owner asked my brother WTF is that guy doing, and my brother told me to wait, and they had a confusion, at the last minute the owner told the wrong guy that the piano was to be moved to another place not the junk place. So he thought he was going to fool us so my brother told him that it was not going to be included in the original price that it was going to be more money but we were not bonded for moving such items so when the owner got an estimate to move it he told me "ok go ahead" (demolish it)😂 Those has a huge cast iron plate that's the mf that makes these pianos super heavy.

    Great attempt guys. Escalera should have never been used, it took too much space to make that turn. Secondly, once using the straps that 4 wheeler should have not been lifted with the piano it just got on the way, reason that hole was made on the wall. Shoulder dolly could have been used to lift it up to at least the first step on the second flight of steps to easily maneuver it then tilt it normally. If takes to do it step by step by all means do it, to prevent damages or even worse serious injuries to a fellow mover. Keep it up tho 👍

      Yeah I was really worried about Manny on the bottom getting crushed bythe piano if it lost traction and came sliding down. Like what if the orange strap broke free which it did at one point omg I couldn't look,next time they should come with a third guy

      @@positivewarrior5206 exactly my thought. Hopefully the customer didn't mind the damaged wall since it can be repair and their piano is where they wanted it. Glad no one got hurt.
