Specialised Equipment We Use to Move Pianos in Melbourne
Pianos can weigh anywhere from 150kg to over 500kg, and the weight isn’t spread evenly. Standard moving gear like a basic trolley or a few moving blankets just won’t cut it, and using the wrong equipment is the fastest way to scratch the finish, damage the internal action, or hurt someone. At Strong Arm Movers, we bring purpose-built piano moving equipment to every job so your instrument is protected from the moment we lift it.
Melbourne's Trusted Piano Movers for Safe, Damage-Free Relocations
Melbourne piano owners choose Strong Arm Movers because we treat every instrument like it’s our own. From the first quote to the final placement, you’ll know exactly what’s happening, what it costs, and that your piano is fully covered. Here’s what sets our service apart.
Pianos We Specialise in Moving Across Melbourne
No two pianos are the same, and each type needs a slightly different approach. The Strong Arm Movers team is experienced with every kind of piano, so whatever you own, we’ll move it the right way.
Upright, Spinet & Console Pianos
The most common home piano. We secure the lid and keys, wrap the body, and use skid boards to handle the top-heavy weight through doors and stairs.
Grand & Baby Grands Pianos
Grand pianos are often partially dismantled for transport, with the legs and pedal lyre removed and the body moved on its side on a padded skid board, then carefully reassembled at the destination.
Digital Keyboards & Electric Pianos
Lighter but still delicate, with sensitive electronics and screens. We pack and pad these to protect both the casing and the internal components.
Antique & Heritage Pianos
Older and antique pianos need extra care for their aged timber and fragile finishes. We handle these slowly and gently to preserve both their value and their character.
Our Step-by-Step Piano Moving Process in Melbourne
We keep things simple and stress-free with a clear process from start to finish. Here’s exactly what to expect when you book your piano move with Strong Arm Movers.
Free On-Site or Virtual Assessment
We assess your piano, the pickup and drop-off locations, and any access challenges, either in person or over a quick video call, so we can plan the safest route.
Wrapping, Padding & Securing the Piano
On the day, we fully wrap and pad the piano, then secure it to skid boards and straps before it moves an inch.
Careful Loading & Climate-Controlled Transport
The piano is loaded with care and transported in a climate-controlled truck, kept steady and protected for the entire journey.
Safe Placement & Optional Tuning Referral
We place your piano exactly where you want it and, if you’d like, can refer you to a trusted tuner to get it sounding right after the move.

Frequently Asked Questions
At Strong Arm Movers, we understand that moving can come with many questions and uncertainties. To help ease your mind and ensure a smooth moving experience, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about our services. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to contact our team for more information.
How much notice do I need to give before booking a piano move?
We recommend booking at least a few days ahead so we can lock in your preferred date and time, especially during busy periods. That said, we also offer same-day moves where availability allows, so it’s always worth getting in touch even at short notice.
How long does it take to move a piano in Melbourne?
A straightforward local move usually takes one to three hours, depending on the type of piano, the distance, and access at both ends. Stairs, tight doorways, or longer drives across Melbourne can add time, and we’ll give you a realistic estimate when we quote.
Do you charge extra for stairs or difficult access?
We work to a transparent flat-rate quote, so any stairs or tricky access are factored in upfront after we assess the job. You won’t get hit with surprise charges on the day.
How do you protect my piano from scratches and damage during the move?
Every piano is fully wrapped in padded covers and blankets, then secured to skid boards and lifting straps before it moves. We transport it in a climate-controlled truck to protect both the finish and the tuning, and every move is fully insured for added peace of mind.
How experienced is your piano moving team?
Our movers are trained specifically in piano handling, not just general furniture removal. Strong Arm Movers has safely relocated uprights, grands, digital, and antique pianos across Melbourne, so your instrument is in experienced hands.
