A Piano Transport with Professionals: The Advantages
Moving company Berlin
Professionals or friends: the difference
The benefits at a glance
Many people first consider carrying the piano with friends. The difference from a professional piano transport lies less in strength than in equipment and planning: an upright piano weighs roughly 170 to 270 kg depending on its size, has a delicate action and no handle by which it can be held securely. We work with piano straps, dollies, padded blankets and stair trolleys, measure the route in advance and plan for enough staff. That way the instrument is not dragged or tipped, and nobody puts their back at risk when lifting.
A second benefit is clarity in advance: after the survey, "Beste Umzug Unternehmen" gives you a fixed price that includes carrying, securing, transport and setting up. We are liable for damage under the HGB – limited to €620 per cubic metre of loading space; for a valuable instrument we can discuss additional insurance on request. With a grand piano, we remove the legs and pedal lyre and reattach them at the destination. Whether upright, grand or digital piano – we plan the process to suit.

What a professional team brings
Equipment, planning, liability
In piano transport, what matters is weight, balance and protection against vibration – and that everyone knows when to lift, stop and set down. We bring straps, dollies and blankets, have measured the stairwell and doors in advance and know how many people the instrument needs. You receive a fixed price and clear information about liability under the HGB. We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21); places with their own pages can be found under Locations.

Questions about piano transport with professionals
Process of a professional piano transport
A piano transport always begins with a careful on-site survey in which access routes, stairs and door widths are checked. The instrument is then properly secured with special blankets and straps to protect it from scratches and knocks.
For the actual transport, special equipment such as piano rollers, stair trolleys and lifting straps is used, allowing safe manoeuvring even in narrow stairwells. At the destination the piano is carefully set up and moved into the desired position; the tuning is then done by your piano tuner.
Costs and tips for your piano transport
The cost of a piano transport depends on factors such as weight, floor, distance and accessibility. Thanks to our fixed-price model, however, you receive a clear overview of costs in advance with no hidden extra fees.
A good tip is to book the piano transport early and give the team precise information about the floor and access so that the logistics can be planned properly. It is also advisable to have the piano retuned only after the transport, as changes in temperature and location can affect the tuning.
Calculating moving costs – it’s this simple
Anyone planning a move naturally wants to know what to expect. The basic rule: the more rooms, the greater the effort. For a 1-room flat, prices start from €354, for 2 rooms from €599. A 3-room flat costs from €899, a 4-room flat from €1,309. For a house or villa there is no flat-rate scheme – here we prepare an individual quote. For a long-distance move we charge from €4.20 per kilometre. Arrange a free survey now to receive a binding quote.
The decisive cost factors in the move
- Volume of the household
- Distance (from €4.20/km)
- Floor without a lift
- Need for a parking restriction zone
Extras such as furniture assembly and shared loads round off the offer.
