Pool tables and pianos are two of the most challenging items to move in any household. Both are extremely heavy, require specialist handling, and can be seriously damaged — or cause serious injury — if moved incorrectly. Relocation Rangers provides specialist pool table and piano relocation services throughout Brisbane, with experienced crews, the right equipment, and full disassembly and reassembly as standard.
Pool table removal and reinstallation Brisbane
A full-sized slate pool table weighs between 250 and 450 kg, depending on the model. The slate bed — which can be a single piece or three-piece construction — must be carefully removed, protected in transit, and reinstalled precisely for the playing surface to be level. This is not a job for a general furniture removal crew using improvised equipment.
Our pool table relocation service includes:
- Full disassembly — legs, rails, slates, and pockets carefully removed and labelled
- Slate protection — slates wrapped and transported flat to prevent cracking
- Cloth protection — the playing surface cloth is inspected and protected during disassembly and transit
- Reassembly and levelling — the table is rebuilt and levelled at the new address
- Inspection at both ends — cloth and cushion condition noted at origin and delivery
Pool table moves are priced individually based on table size (7ft, 8ft, or 9ft), slate construction, access conditions (stairs, narrow doorways, upper floor), and distance. Call (07) 3472 7573 with your table details and addresses for a quote.
Piano removals Brisbane
Pianos present unique challenges: extreme weight (200–500 kg depending on type), an awkward centre of gravity, and a delicate internal mechanism that can be damaged by shock or improper handling. Our crew uses appropriate piano-moving equipment — including piano trolleys and skid boards — and moves instruments with the care they deserve.
Piano move pricing in Brisbane:
- Upright piano, ground level — from $250
- Upright piano with stairs or upper floor — quoted individually based on stair configuration and access
- Baby grand piano — quoted individually (disassembly of legs and pedal lyre required)
- Grand piano — quoted individually (specialist equipment required)
All piano quotes take into account the instrument type, both origin and destination access conditions, and any stair or narrow-passage challenges. Call us with the details for an accurate figure.
Why specialist handling matters for pianos and pool tables
These items share two critical characteristics: they are heavy enough to cause serious injury if dropped, and they are damaged easily if handled incorrectly. An upright piano that topples causes catastrophic damage to the instrument and potentially to the property — and the cost of repairing a cracked soundboard or a damaged pool table slate far exceeds any savings from using an unqualified mover.
Using a professional removalist team with specific experience in these items is not just about convenience — it’s about protecting your investment and the safety of everyone involved.
Access considerations for Brisbane homes
Brisbane’s housing stock includes a significant number of high-set Queenslanders, steep-access properties, and homes with narrow internal doorways — all of which affect how a pool table or piano can be moved. When you call for a quote, have the following information ready:
- Origin address and whether it’s ground level, elevated, or has stairs
- Destination address and same access details
- Internal doorway widths (particularly for grand pianos)
- Whether a lift is available (for apartment buildings)
- Pool table: table size in feet and slate construction (if known)
- Piano: type (upright, baby grand, or grand) and approximate age/brand if known
We service all Brisbane suburbs including Aspley, Capalaba, Sunnybank, and all areas listed on our service areas page. For storage of a piano or pool table during a property transition, our Brisbane storage service provides secure, climate-controlled holding from $150/week. See our pricing page or house moving services for more information.
Frequently asked questions — pool table and piano removalists Brisbane
How much does it cost to move a pool table in Brisbane?
Pool table moves are quoted based on the table size (typically 7ft, 8ft, or 9ft slate bed), the number of flights of stairs, and access conditions at both addresses. Call (07) 3472 7573 with the details for an accurate quote.
Do you disassemble and reassemble pool tables?
Yes. Slate bed pool tables must be disassembled for safe transport — legs removed, slate separated, and cloth carefully protected. We disassemble, transport, and reassemble at the destination. The cloth and cushion condition are checked at both ends.
How much does it cost to move a piano in Brisbane?
Upright piano moves from $250 for ground-level placement. Baby grand pianos, stairs, narrow access, or upper-floor delivery all affect pricing. Contact us with the piano type, origin and destination addresses, and access details for a firm quote.
Can you move a grand piano?
Yes. Grand pianos require specialised equipment including a piano skid board and additional crew. These moves are quoted individually based on the instrument size and site conditions. Call us to discuss.
Is it safe to move a piano without a specialist?
No. Pianos are extremely heavy — an upright can weigh 200–300 kg — and have a high centre of gravity. Improper handling causes injury, property damage, and damage to the instrument. Always use a professional removalist team with piano experience.
Do you tune the piano after the move?
We transport the piano safely, but tuning is a separate service provided by a piano technician. We recommend allowing the instrument to settle for at least 2–4 weeks in its new environment before tuning, as temperature and humidity changes during transport affect pitch.
Can you move both a pool table and a piano on the same job?
Yes. If both items are at the same origin address, we can include both in one booking. Pricing will reflect the combined complexity of the move.
