There is a ramp between sections in this building which has 8" rise/8' run. I have the concert grands on Colson trucks and found the lyre of one S&S D dragging at the bottom of the ramp. The lyre is beyond where the wheels are on the truck, and if the arms are sagging at all, it is like a station wagon bumper drag. I would imagine that your 12"/8' angle could make matters worse. Lifting the keyboard at the critical time seems to be the only remedy. Fortunately for me, all that happened was the lyre props dropping and a smudge on the carpet.
