If using a tilter be sure to exercise a lot of caution when tipping it back up. I have learned to strap the piano to the tilter so they tilt up as one unit. Also decide if U want the dollie to protrude more out of the front, back, or to be centered equally. I've found it depends on the depth of your piano. I have used them on the shorted Wurlitzer studios that were built like tanks made in the late 60's, early 70's & they were perfect. No experience w/ larger uprt's.One other thing I did. I did feel secure w/ the diameter of bolt hole s they pre-drilled, so I drilled larger & went w/ a larger dia. bolt, I used large thick washers to give e a larger area of contact to help ensure that a smaller washer/bolt combination wouldn't work thru the bottom board.
