[CAUT] technique for getting pianos on the colson dolly

[Jon Page]

One person. I have a faux leg constructed of plywood and a section of 
continuous hinge,
Opens to 90 degrees and folds flat.  It is is long enough to elevate 
the leg a few inches.

"Dry fit' the truck first by positioning the truck ends to the sides 
of the legs.

Once a front leg is up, remove the caster and position the end of the 
truck under the leg,
place a wedge under the truck end so the weight of the piano does not 
press it down (raising
the rear leg). Do the front legs first with wedges and then do the rear leg.
Reverse the process to remove the truck.

Tighten all bolts.
