Professional Expertise
Roderick Removals & Van Lines in Gladstone specialises in the safe, damage-free relocation of pianos, billiard tables and safes. With more than a decade of experience, we understand how to move these heavy, complex items with precision, ensuring they reach their new location in perfect working order.

Safes, pianos and billiard tables are some of the most challenging items to relocate due to their extreme weight, awkward shapes and delicate surfaces. Moving them safely requires a specialised approach, detailed planning and the right equipment to prevent damage during handling and transport.
Whether it's a household upright safe, a grand piano or a full-size pool table, we use proven techniques to protect each item during every stage of the move. From careful preparation to secure delivery, we make sure your valuables are relocated safely and efficiently.
Professional Piano Movers
We make sure that your prized instrument is protected throughout the journey. From the moment we take the piano out of your home or office until the time we transport it to your new address, we’ll handle it with professional care and expertise.
Whether it’s an Upright or a Grand Piano, our team of removalists will handle every stage of the move with care and precision. With an inventory of equipment and insulating materials to help with the job, we’ll keep your piano secure and protected throughout the journey.
Expert Pool Table Movers
Moving a sofa or any other heavy furniture takes some skill but moving a pool table requires a certain level of expertise. Even the lightest pool table can easily weigh twice as much as a heavy sofa – imagine having to navigate narrow corridors and stairs bearing that load.
Also, it may be necessary to disassemble large pool tables - 9-foot ones, for example, to move them through the home or office. Our expert removalists are familiar and experienced with different pool table sizes and styles, allowing us to take the components apart safely, transport them damage-free, and set up the unit again correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you move a piano or pool table without damage?
Yes, with the right equipment and handling techniques, pianos and pool tables can be moved safely without damage. These items are heavy, bulky and delicate, so professionals use tools like piano trolleys, lift straps and protective padding. Pool tables may be disassembled before transport to protect the slate and frame. Movers are trained to manoeuvre around tight spaces, doorways and stairs with care. It's important not to attempt moving these items yourself, as improper lifting can lead to injury or significant damage. With the right planning and tools, these items can be relocated smoothly and reassembled correctly on arrival.
Do pool tables need to be taken apart for moving?
In most cases, yes. Pool tables often need to be partially or fully disassembled before being moved, especially if stairs, tight hallways or long distances are involved. This usually includes removing the legs, slate top and felt, which requires careful handling to prevent damage. Disassembly also makes the table much easier and safer to transport. Once delivered, professional movers can reassemble and level it correctly. While disassembly may add time to the process, it significantly reduces the risk of damaging the table, your home or the movers themselves during the move.
Do I need to retune my piano after a move?
Yes, it’s recommended to have your piano retuned after a move. Changes in humidity, temperature and positioning can affect string tension and tuning stability. Even if it was moved carefully, a piano can shift slightly, especially if travelling a long distance or going through varying climates. Let the piano settle in its new environment for a week or two before tuning, so it can adjust naturally. A professional piano tuner can then bring it back to optimal condition. Retuning ensures your piano sounds its best and maintains its playability after the transition.
