This was my first big move and I was nervous, but Zero Hour Moving made it painless. Booking was quick, the crew showed up on time, and nothing was scratched. Five stars from me!

Piano Movers Trained For Uprights, Baby Grands And Concert Grands
A piano weighs between 150 and 600 kilograms, balances on legs designed for a living room and holds thousands of dollars of precision parts inside a polished case. Moving one is a skill, and Zero Hour Moving piano movers have it.
Uprights are strapped to a piano board and moved on a four-wheel dolly. Grands have the lid, legs and pedal lyre removed and are tilted onto a skid board, wrapped and secured. Stair climbers, ramps and extra crew handle basements and second floors.
Inside the truck the piano travels upright and strapped in its own section, away from other cargo. At the destination it is rebuilt, positioned and levelled.
We move pianos across town, between provinces, into and out of storage, and for schools, churches, studios and dealers.
Good to know: every piano movers job is quoted individually and in writing. Tell us the details and we confirm availability and a clear price the same day.
