The G820 Piano Dollies are a type of piano moving equipment specifically designed to facilitate the safe and efficient transportation of pianos, especially grand pianos.
Purpose and Use
The G820 Piano Dollies are typically used by piano movers, technicians, or individuals who need to move pianos for performances, repairs, or storage. The dolly helps in the easy maneuvering of pianos over short to medium distances without causing damage to the instrument or the floor.
Design
The G820 is known for its robust and durable design. It typically includes the following characteristics
Heavy-duty construction: The dolly is made from sturdy materials like steel or heavy-duty aluminum to support the weight of grand pianos without buckling or bending.
Large wheels: These provide stability and ease of movement, allowing for smooth rolling on most surfaces. The wheels are usually rubberized to reduce friction and prevent floor damage.
Adjustable platform: Many piano dollies, including the G820, come with adjustable platforms to accommodate different sizes and shapes of pianos, ensuring a snug fit for secure transport.
Low-profile: The design ensures that the dolly doesn't lift the piano too high, making it easier to move through doorways, hallways, or other tight spaces.
Weight Capacity
The G820 Piano Dolly is designed to carry the weight of most grand pianos, which can range anywhere from 400 lbs to over 1,000 lbs, depending on the size of the piano. The dolly is typically rated to handle weights well beyond that of standard upright pianos, ensuring safe movement even for large concert grands.
Safety and Stability
Strap and Tie-down Points: Most models, including the G820, come equipped with straps or tie-down points to secure the piano in place during transit. This is critical for ensuring that the piano doesn’t shift, fall, or get damaged during the move.
Smooth operation: With large, smooth-rolling wheels and a balanced design, the dolly helps prevent tipping or wobbling while moving.
Common Uses
- Concert halls: For transporting grand pianos to different stages or locations.
- Music schools: When moving pianos between rooms or into storage.
- Private homes: For moving pianos into a new residence or location.
- Piano technicians: To safely transport pianos during maintenance or repairs.
Customization
Some models of the G820 may offer customizable options to further suit specific piano types or particular needs, such as extra heavy-duty wheels or custom padding to protect delicate finishes.
