Hi, Mark. I, too, have sought easier ways to move grand actions. One tool I've successfully used for a few years is just a regular hand truck. It's great for big actions, e.g., the S&S D at the Tucson Convention Center, which is a few hundred feet and some stairs away from my car, at best. I don't need anything else really. Actions seem to balance pretty well on my handtruck. The other tool is my portable table. I wheel it out of my shop to my station wagon, ease the action onto it, and reverse the operation when I return the action. Sometimes I can use the table in the field, roll it right up to the piano and slide the action onto it. It has been a great back saver. Happy New Year, everyone. Bob Anderson Tucson, Az
