Piano Moving Strategies: The Better Board

In the moving industry, moving a piano is considered one of the most difficult moving tasks to exist. In fact, most basic moving companies will often refuse to move a piano when completing a household move, due to the potential liability a piano presents and the number of people needed to lift that much weight.

In 2021, Jacob developed a novel tool designed to facilitate the moving of pianos and other large heavy objects, reducing both liability and the number of people needed. His tool, dubbed the Better Board, is an improvement on traditional piano moving boards, employing natural physical forces like tension and friction to move a piano without directly lifting it. 

This tool and method not only makes it easier to move a piano, but it decreases the risk of injury to the mover and risk of damage to the piano and the floor over which it is moved. It is a testament to Jacob’s innovative nature and ingenuity as a mover. In addition, the Better Board’s use is not limited to moving pianos, but can also be used to move items like exercise equipment like ellipticals and treadmills and bulky furniture items such as large wardrobes or armoires, making it a unique, game-changing device that sets the quality of Jake’s moves above the rest. 

Jacob and Andrea submitted the Better Board for a patent-pending as they recognized its potential in the moving industry. Using the Better Board at almost every moving job gives Jake’s Piano and Expert Moving Services another edge over our competitors, and it’s one more reason why Jacob’s moves are considered to be expert-level.
