00:00well folks welcome back and here's something that may be of value when you're moving everybody
00:17sooner or later has to move but you may not all have an upright piano to move but you may have
00:24some cabinets or other things to move which you never thought you could use a piano dolly for
00:30and that's what this is this has mostly been designed to use for upright pianos the old ones
00:37if you've got a musician in the family and you're getting one from another family member or or you've
00:42purchased one the big advantage to this particular item is it's like having two of these appliance
00:48carts on either end of your piano and it allows you to use your legs to lift it up from the ends
00:56going through doors and everything big big advantage because if you don't have one of these
01:01the only place you can really grab an upright piano is from the keyboard on one side and there's usually
01:06maybe a couple of handles on the other side and once you get to the door you're beat unless you put it
01:11onto a a four-wheel cart or something like that but then by the time you get to the end you need
01:16something else to lift it off the cart and so this provides both the wheels provide the rolling
01:23these handles this normally when you get a a piano dolly from your rental house it's going to be
01:29probably in this position so these handles come up these straps you take off now at larry's rental
01:40they do put here on the handle how to put the straps on and how to lock them on what i would very much
01:46suggest is that when you get this to take it apart is that you release the handle you give it a little
01:54bit of slack and don't pull this all the way out because it's already put in put in for you the right
01:58way to lock the straps in take the other end out it's only on a clip pull your two halves apart put one
02:06in on one end of the piano one end the other end of the piano pull your strap to the length you need
02:12and hook this end on thereby you haven't had to release this at all you don't have to worry about
02:18how to get it back in again and uh and it's very easy just to snap that back on so you'll never have
02:24to take it out of the locking position here of how to put your strap back into the uh the way it's
02:30hooked around these two two pins so pull the two halves apart put them in the ends take your straps
02:40pull them tight and then you ratchet them once to get them tight just as you would a um an appliance
02:46stall make sure your straps are tight top and they're tight on the bottom the wheels it can
02:54simply be put down by pulling the lever you push them down with your hand and then you end up with
02:58this position where you've got the wheels down but this is the big advantage you can grab these two
03:04handles and lift with your legs rather than trying to lift these heavy heavy pianos with
03:09just your arms or maybe you've got three or four people there but as again when you start going
03:15through the doors and everybody can't grab on so much you have a person on either end just picking
03:19up with their legs um this makes a big advantage to uh doing these uh upright pianos and especially
03:27moving it in up a ramp or so or in where maybe you've got an a uh you don't have you can't get on either
03:32side because of the ramp going into the truck off the porch or maybe right off the ground
03:38and uh because they're all obviously all your trucks are you've got to step up maybe a couple
03:43feet even in some of the moving bands now the other thing these can also be used for is cabinets
03:50in offices they have these rollout horizontal drawers of filing cabinets you can stick these on either end
03:57uh lock it the same way and carry these out and makes it a lot easier than trying to get underneath
04:02them and maybe even put them on four-wheel dollies if uh if you've got a way to roll them out but it
04:08in any case anything that is uh of a box nature that you can put a cabinet put a uh a dolly on either
04:14side and straps along the side allows you a better means and certainly a safer means of uh of
04:21transporting for moving so remember this when you've got that upright piano you'll thank me later
04:28and um if there's any kind of other um cabinets or storage cabinets that you have that may come
04:34into play as well so hopefully this will do and make the job a little easier and don't forget to subscribe
