Flipping a grand piano upside down

Greetings!

I am needing to do a rim repair on a grand piano, and am wondering about 
flipping the piano upside down.  I vaguely recollect at a convention a few 
years ago that there was a device similar to an upright piano tilter, but 
it was designed for grands.  Does anyone routinely flip pianos upside 
down?  If so, what is your method for doing so?  Or do you usually let the 
movers handle such jobs?

Thanks for your replies!
