At Oakville Moving & Storage Ltd, we take pride in offering specialized piano moving services in Oakville and the surrounding areas in Ontario. This guide outlines our meticulous process and dedication to safe, stress-free piano moving.


Understanding the Complexity of Piano Moving


Pianos are intricate instruments composed of thousands of parts, often weighing between 300 to 1,200 pounds. Handling such a heavy and delicate instrument requires expertise, precision, and the right equipment. Our experienced team at Oakville Moving & Storage Ltd is trained to execute piano moves with utmost care, ensuring your instrument arrives at its destination in perfect condition.

Avoiding Damage


  • Structure Integrity: Pianos have sensitive internal components. Our team secures the instrument carefully to prevent any impacts or vibrations during the move.


  • Surface Protection: Scratches and dents are common concerns. We use specialized padding and straps to shield the piano's finish.


Equipment and Tools

  • Specialized Dollies: These are designed to handle the weight without causing harm to the instrument or property.


  • Secure Strapping: Ensures stability during transport.
