A piano-transporting apparatus includes a three-sided frame with a rear side and a pair of parallel, transversely-extending sides with an open front, thereby forming a rectangularly-shaped pocket for receiving a piano. A longitudinal bar on the rear section carries a pair of forwardly-projecting hooks which are capable of engaging the piano either at the base thereof or along the upper back portion. Strap means are provided for securing the upper end of the piano with respect to the frame. A drive mechanism, such as a hydraulic arrangement can be used for raising the hooks and thereby lifting the piano from the floor or other supporting surface. The frame is mounted on rollers so that it can be easily transported. The apparatus is highly effective in that it enables a single person to secure, lift, and transport a piano. A method of utilizing this apparatus is also disclosed.
