    That is why I use 3 (three) jacks instead of only one.  You can =
suspend the piano completely above the truck, position the arms very =
carefully, then gradually lower it so that the weight lands on the truck =
arms a little bit at a time, similar to what you can do with the Jansen =
transporter.  The transporter is great, but expensive, large and heavy.  =
Three jacks with support columns can be made for less than $40, are =
small and easy to carry, and useful for other lifting jobs around the =
shop.  Unlike the transporter, you can't roll a piano around on them.

  I don't know how you do it, but I have to put something under the =
first and second arms to keep the whole truck from flipping up.  Can you =
explain how you do it without the shims.
