Forklift under 9' piano?

Our performing arts center wants to use a fork lift under the 9' Steinway
to put the piano on a 12" platform. Anyone have serious reservations about
doing this. They use to do this monthly, and I can find no visible
structural evidence of damage to the instrument. The fork lift operator is
quite experienced and is extremely careful. It takes less than 1 minute.

What does everyone think about this practice?
