Nope...it only bolts on at the back and underneath.   The front part (below the kickboard) has some space for accomodation....tip:   when tipping the piano, remove as many case parts as you can to lighten the load...even the action if you feel the need(I haven't).   Helps to have another on the other end pulling as you lift or vice-versa.   come down onto a piano blanket rolled up to keep the piano at a little bit of an angle for the return tip...easier to pull back down....keep in mind the it can be tilty...probably a 4X4 covered with a blanket would be a better idea...
