New grand piano lifter - move / deliver the concert grand alone without modifications on the piano

[Isaac OLEG]

Hello All

here we go :

That modified "pianoplan" (a very efficient piano moving device) allows the delivery to be done alone, without the precedent modifications that where due (framing to put the piano on its side)

That is just the top notch system.

rise stairs also, assuming they do not turn. 

A technician is usiong one in Seattle, if someone want more information.

I add the logo, little "advertising"  for the colleague who developed the "pianolift" . That was missing , for all the technicians that rent pianos for concerts, and move and  deliver alone, as is often the case today.

That is a fantastic invention! I rebuild and repair pianos in Arizona with my father. We move all of the pianos we rebuild. I've only moved 6 concert grands during my 25 years of rebuilding, but each time I moved one, I needed a day to recuperate. Where can I find information on this fantastic piano mover?

Hello 

My name is Neil Sundberg.  I live about thirty miles North of Seattle.  I am not a piano technician as has been mentioned here.  I was the first in North America to buy a Pianolift.  I purchased it last May directly from France.  I arranged my own import of it .  I have not used it yet for commercial purposes .  I am currently preparing to market this product in the United States as Pianolift USA .

So other than marketing the product I am :  a piano player - I plan to use this to move my Mason Hamlin BB ( only about 5 years old)  to my own gigs or provide it to other musicians locally .  I will rent this same piano to those that wish to use it for their events.  I am also starting a piano moving service in this area.  

If you are interested in this product you can contact me now just please understand that the business end of this is in development .  but if you really want one and can be a bit patient about the process I feel I can help you do so.  

But yes ,  the Pianolift is a solid well built product that can easily do the job :)

IMO, more information, as in prices and pictures and procedures is needed.

Hello,

Thank you fopr chimming in, I was given your information by the developer of "Pianolift".

That tool saved the day of a friend that rent about 12 grand pianos , and had a heart problem, with the doctors saying he'd better avoid the kind of effort as putting the pianos on their side...

As many others he used the "pianoplan" (the base trolley used for the piano-lift)  but this mean  some manipulations to screw some sort of metal framing to balance the grand in a vertical position and put the pianoplan under it. - for the  less heavy grands, the piano is just put on a corner on the trolley  and then raised vertically 

I will send the links to the few videos I find again.

Best regards

  We have launched a web site now at pianoliftusa.com  

Unfortunately the Euro is really strong against the Dollar right now so the Pianolift is effected by that by about 40 %  compared to it's European price. 

And of course shipping from Europe to a customer location in the US will add significantly to the price.  So the price including those things will be around $20,000 to $21,000 .  Labor savings provided by the machine will be worth this cost for many companies .
