[pianotech] plate weights

[Terry Farrell]

1,000 lbs. is going to more than cover you in any situation.  Most nine-footers (entire pianos) come in at close to 1,000 lbs. - so the plate will be a good bit less than that.

Thinking about permanently mounting a small crane on the trailer http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200381756_200381756. This one's rated at 1000lbs with the boom retracted at 36" from pivot...mounted on the side of the trailer, I think this would work at that extension.  1000lbs at full 51 extension.
