Expert Piano Removals & Challenging Moves – A Week with Melbourne Jakes Removals
This week at Melbourne Jakes Removals was full of challenges, from moving heavy gym equipment and a grand piano to handling last-minute cancellations and unexpected storage issues. Despite these obstacles, our experienced team successfully completed every job, proving once again why we’re one of Melbourne’s most trusted removalists.
A Massive Move in Keilor – Packing, Gym Equipment & Piano Removals
One of the toughest jobs this week took place in Keilor, in Melbourne’s North-West. The client needed a full packing and moving service for their 4-bedroom home, and after assessing the job, we knew it would require careful planning. We scheduled two full days—one for packing and another for moving—to ensure everything was handled smoothly.
Our team arrived fully equipped with 80 tea chest boxes and 20 small book/wine boxes, but the client had already packed even more before we got there. As we discussed the job, we learned about two major challenges:
1️⃣ A massive 200kg gym machine that couldn’t be disassembled.
2️⃣ A grand piano that required delicate handling and expert moving techniques.
We arranged for two large trucks and additional movers to manage the heavy lifting. When it came to the piano removal, our team took extra precautions, including:
✔ Securing the lid and pedals to prevent movement.
✔ Using protective padding, straps, and a piano dolly for safe transport.
✔ Navigating through tight spaces carefully to avoid any damage.
Both trucks were packed to full capacity, but thanks to careful planning, everything—including the piano and gym equipment—arrived safely at the client’s new home.
A Last-Minute Move & Unexpected Storage Challenge
Just as we were handling the Keilor move, another unexpected situation arose. A client who had originally booked a move called to cancel at the last minute. The following day, she called again, now ready to move, and asked if we still had availability.
Despite a full schedule, we found a way to fit her in for an early morning slot. Our team loaded the truck and transported her belongings to our Notting Hill storage depot. However, when they arrived, we ran into a problem—the storage units weren’t ready because we had initially cleared them after the client’s cancellation.
Rather than delaying the move, our team came up with a quick solution. We relocated the client’s belongings to other pre-booked storage units and adjusted upcoming reservations to keep everything running smoothly.
Overcoming Challenges with a Reduced Team
This week was especially demanding as some of our staff members were injured outside of work, while others were unable to work due to illness. Despite operating with a reduced team and being fully booked, we ensured every scheduled move was completed without delays or compromises on quality.
We appreciate the understanding and patience of our clients as we worked through these challenges.
