I have three old uprights in my garage that are in various stages of regulation, tuning and deconstruction. With winter coming I want to move them around and I've been looking at these dual truck dollies that I can use on my own. One is Roll-or-Kari and the other is by Jansen. Near as I can tell the Jansen has swiveling wheels that can be locked and the Kari has swivels on one dolly and locked on the other. Otherwise, they're equal. Also special long straps will have to be required by either to get around an upright. So I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with these devices. Will they handle a heavy old upright? Are there problems working around the casters? Of course mine have some missing casters anyway which is the root of the problem. :-} Any ideas are appreciated. Chet Chet The truck dollies are strong enough to handle heavy uprights. If you are moving the pianos around yourself, I would suggest you use the Kari, because it will be easier to maneuver the piano. But I'm more concerned about your garage. I presume it will be heated during the winter.
