Piano or safe needs moving — Madrid, Madrid
Pianos (300–1,200 lb) and safes (200–5,000 lb) are among the heaviest, most awkward items in a home. Moving them without proper equipment risks serious injury, damaged floors, crushed stairs, and broken instruments. Specialty movers use piano boards, heavy-duty straps, stair-climbing dollies, and protective padding. Grand pianos require disassembly of the legs and lyre. Attempting a DIY move with friends almost always ends in scratched floors, dented walls, or a thrown-out back.
