Piano & Heavy Item Movers in NJ
Heavy, awkward, and expensive-to-replace — that's our lane.
Upright pianos, baby grands, gun safes, treadmills, Peloton bikes on second floors, sleeper sofas with iron frames — some things need more than two guys and a dolly.
Haul Yeah has the gear (piano skid boards, heavy-duty ratchet straps, four-wheel piano dollies, stair-climbing appliance dollies) and the crew (three or four movers depending on the item) to handle heavy items in NJ homes and apartments without cracking a doorframe or dropping a leg through your floor.
We do standalone heavy-item jobs (just the piano, nothing else) and add-ons to a full move. Uprights, spinets, consoles, baby grands, and full grands are all in scope. Tell us the make and model when you ask for a quote so we bring the right rig.

What heavy-item movers should bring
Everything below is in the price we quote you — not an upsell.
Piano skid board and straps
Uprights go on the skid, straps do the lifting, not somebody's back.
Four-wheel piano dolly
For horizontal moves through hallways and driveways.
Stair-climbing appliance dolly
For safes, refrigerators, and washer/dryers on stairs.
3–4 mover crews
Never a two-mover job. Enough hands to keep everyone safe.
Full disassembly on grands
Legs and pedal lyre come off; instrument goes on its side on a padded board.
Blanket + shrink wrap
Nothing rides bare in the truck. Ever.
Careful handling to match
For high-value pieces we walk you through the plan — load order, stair route, protection — before move day so nothing rides on chance.
What it costs
Our real price bands — truck, fuel, blankets, equipment and the first 20 miles are already inside every one of them.
Piano handling is a surcharge on top of your move: $400–$600 for an upright, $600–$1,200 for a grand. Safes and gym equipment run $400–$600. Quoted before you book, never after.
Minimums & deposit
3-hour minimum on any job with a truck, 2-hour minimum on labor-only.
A 25% deposit locks your date; the balance is due when the job is done. Cancel 72 or more hours before your slot and the deposit is refunded in full.
Saturdays, Sundays and the last few days of the month are peak — those slots are priced higher than a mid-week job, and the weekend rate is already inside the number we quote you. Nothing gets added on move day.

Piano & Heavy Item Movers, answered honestly
The questions we get on the phone, with the numbers attached.
How do you move an upright piano vs. a baby grand?
Uprights ride upright on a heavy-duty skid board, secured with straps, moved on a four-wheel dolly. Baby grands are tipped onto their side onto a padded board (called being 'boarded up'), legs and pedal lyre removed, then wrapped in blankets. Both take a three-mover crew minimum.
Can you move a piano to a second floor?
Yes, with a stair-climbing dolly and a four-mover crew for uprights, more for grands. Long staircases and narrow turns take longer; we'll ask about the specifics on the quote so we bring the right size skid board.
Do you move safes and gun safes?
Yes — up to about 1,000 lbs on a standard job. Anything heavier, we'll ask a few questions to confirm we can crew it safely. Tell us the weight and floor when you ask for a quote.
What about treadmills and Peloton bikes?
Yes — those are common heavy items for us. Treadmills usually fold or partially disassemble; Pelotons we disassemble the touchscreen arm and pedals for tight staircases. Both are common add-ons to a full move.
