Protect Your Most Valuable and Irreplaceable Heirlooms With Our Antique Moving Services

With more than 100 years of professional moving experience, Morgan Transfer protects fragile and high-value pieces through careful planning, specialized handling, and the expertise of our team—including the support of an in-house engineer.

Antique Moving Case Study: Engineering a custom Solution for a Grand Piano

Moving antiques often requires more than careful handling. Sometimes it requires creative engineering.

During one residential move, Morgan Transfer was asked to relocate a grand piano located on the second floor of a home. The piano had originally been brought in through a doorway that was later remodeled and reduced in size, making it impossible to remove the instrument using the same path.

Rather than risk damage by forcing the move through tight spaces, our team engineered a custom solution.

Morgan Transfer designed and built a two-story ramp system from the second-floor balcony, allowing the piano to be safely lowered and transported without risking damage to the instrument or the home.

This type of problem-solving is why clients trust Morgan Transfer when moving fragile, oversized, or irreplaceable pieces that require careful planning and specialized expertise.
