[pianotech] Cargo trailers

[Piano Boutique]

Richard,

I have a good friend, Don Wigent,

Wigentd at cox.net

He just bought a new trailer made just for this application.   I think it would do you well to communicate with him.

  Subject: [pianotech] Cargo trailers


  I am looking to purchase a cargo trailer to move pianos (likely one at a time) to/from customer's home and shop mostly, and was curious what those here on the pianotech list would suggest.  I would install e-trak for sure.  I've been looking at either 5x8, or 6x10 cargo trailers.  If I went with the smaller, I'd have to go another route when moving a 9' grand, but I'm thinking those times would be few and far between, however, I'd rather be prepared. 

  One of my main concerns is that most of the cargo trailers I've seen have short doors, (about 4.5 - 5.5 feet) which isn't a problem as much with a spinet or console strapped to a piano dolly, but clearance becomes a real issue when moving tall uprights on a dolly or a grand, which would be on a grand skid on a dolly.

  Any suggestions as to what to purchase, work arounds that you all have found to work with the shorter standard doors, etc.

  Thanks!
