Care in the details

The Right Plan for a Challenging Item.

Pianos and specialty pieces need a close look at size, weight, route and access. Share photos and measurements so we can assess the move before confirming the approach.

Pianos and specialty items require more planning than ordinary household furniture. Their size, weight, shape and value can make access, lifting and transportation more complicated. ASR Moving Systems can assist with piano and specialty-item moves depending on the type of item, property access and moving requirements.

Before providing a quote, we may ask for photos, dimensions, approximate weight and details about stairs, doorways, elevators and the walking distance to the moving truck.

Our Piano & Specialty Item Moving Process

A clear path from your first conversation to the final unload.

  1. 1

    Assess

    Review the item and dimensions.

  2. 2

    Check Route

    Confirm stairs, doors and parking.

  3. 3

    Protect

    Prepare the item and route.

  4. 4

    Move

    Transport and position at the destination.

Send us photos and details of the item being moved along with the pickup and delivery addresses. Let us know about stairs, elevators, doorway dimensions, parking and any other access restrictions at both locations.

For pianos, please tell us the type and approximate size of the piano and provide photos whenever possible.

Once we review the information, we can confirm whether we can handle the item, recommend the appropriate crew and equipment and provide pricing.

On moving day, the crew will prepare the item for transportation, carefully move it through the property, secure it in the truck and place it in the requested location at the destination where access allows.

The service

What's Included

  • Item and access assessment
  • Crew and equipment matched to the job
  • Protective materials as needed
  • Loading and transport
  • Unloading and placement

Depending on the item and move requirements, our specialty moving service can include professional movers, an appropriately sized moving truck, moving blankets, dollies, protective wrapping and specialized moving equipment.

We can also plan around stairs, elevators, loading docks, narrow entrances and other access conditions. Larger or more complex items are reviewed individually so we can assign the appropriate crew and equipment.

The ASR difference

Why Choose ASR?

ASR Moving Systems provides careful moving services for pianos and other heavy or specialty items that require additional planning, manpower and equipment. These moves can involve stairs, tight turns, narrow doorways, elevators and significant weight, so access conditions need to be reviewed in advance. Our team can assess the item, recommend the appropriate crew and moving setup, and plan the safest practical route from pickup to delivery.

Cost & Pricing

The cost of moving a piano or specialty item depends on the type, size and weight of the item, the number of movers required, travel distance and access at both locations. Stairs, elevators, narrow doorways, tight turns, long walking distances and parking conditions can also affect the crew, equipment and time required. Because every specialty-item move is different, providing photos of the item and the pickup and delivery access helps ASR Moving Systems plan the move properly and provide a more accurate quote.

Helpful planning guidance

Details Needed for a Specialty-Item Move

Heavy, delicate or unusual items need an individual assessment. Photos, measurements and a clear view of the route help determine whether the move is suitable and which equipment is required.

01

Item Information

Provide the type, approximate weight, dimensions, condition and photos from more than one angle.

02

Route & Clearances

Steps, landings, door widths, surface conditions and turns can be as important as the item itself.

03

Destination Placement

Confirm the final room and exact placement so the handling plan covers the entire route.

Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful answers as you plan your move.

Do you move pianos?

Yes. ASR Moving Systems can move pianos depending on the type of piano, its size and weight, and the access conditions at the pickup and delivery locations. Let us know about stairs, narrow hallways, tight turns or other access restrictions when requesting your quote.

What types of pianos can you move?

We can move many upright and other residential pianos depending on their size, weight and access conditions. Larger or more complex pianos may require additional planning, equipment or crew members. Send us the piano details and photos so we can confirm the appropriate moving setup.

Can you move a piano up or down stairs?

In many cases, yes. Piano moves involving stairs depend on the piano’s size and weight, the number and layout of the stairs, available space and overall access. Please provide photos or details of the stairs in advance so we can determine the safest moving plan.

What information do you need for a piano moving quote?

Can you move other heavy or specialty items?

Yes, depending on the item and access conditions. We may be able to move items such as safes, gym equipment, large tables and other heavy or oversized furniture. Let us know exactly what needs to be moved so we can confirm the crew and equipment required.

How much does it cost to move a piano or specialty item?

Pricing depends on the type and weight of the item, number of movers required, travel distance, stairs, elevators, parking and access conditions. Because specialty-item moves can vary considerably, we recommend providing detailed information and photos so we can give you an appropriate quote.
