One handed piano lifter /jack

Disclaimer - If you built one and it breaks a piano or yourself, call your friends and have them come and take all your tools away.

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing the idea! Your video description fits perfectly 😂 Piano technicians with basic welding skills should be able to figure the construction out themselves. By the way: Welding is not too hard to learn, I'd say. Probably easier than piano tuning... Just needs a little patience, practice and a space where you don't work with wood at the same time ;-)

you absolute legend this is amazing!

I'd like one of these Tom.

[@greggraham4114]

I need one of these.

[@tonyspade3447]

Would have had it on a dolly and out of the house already.

[@tomk4748]

I am set up so I can lift the piano, place it on the cart, and load it in the trailer by myself. I custom built a trailer with a winch in the front. Press the button and it goes up the ramp into the trailer. If I could make the pianos climb stairs, I'd be all set.

[@glendavis1266]

Well if you worked in a metal shop with welding equipment you’d have it made!

[@steinwaygrands]

Ok... really appreciate your ingenuity here. Now, how high will it lift? You're using a non-standard caster height dolly... I'd be interested in making one to accommodate a 4 inch caster dolly standard. Any thoughts? Thanks !

Hey Tom I need to lift a baby grand piano any suggestions besides spending a fortune on Manpower and renting a what forklift? I would love to be able to do it by my 5 ' 2" female self. You had a lot of people say Market it, did you? Guarantee you'd probably sell more to women than men. Thanks for any help you might can give. Date 6 - 23- 19

Can I purchase one of these from you?

[@gabrielpayan4008]

Hi Tom! My name is Gabriel, very much interested in purchasing this lift, Or getting one made. Could we get in contact?

[@thehippieanarchist9555]

Where can I buy one?

[@littleboy437]

I want to buy....

[@littleboy437]

so not fair...market it ….please

[@Mark-OutWest]

How much to rent this?

[@mortier9]

Good idea. Are you going to sell it?

[@tomk4748]

To be able to market it, I would have to make it idiot proof. And I have found they keep making better idiots.

[@greggraham4114]

I still need one. If it isn't for sale, can you give us a quick video of the construction details? Thanks.

[@andrewb8173]

Looks simple enough good work , ill have to figure out how to make one some time.

[@roybravo214]
