The profession of a mover consists of lifting, handling, and transporting heavy and fragile objects. It is therefore essential for them to have excellent physical fitness while also being skillful. In order to offer a quality service, they must also be organized while being meticulous and attentive to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Good interpersonal skills are also important as movers are in direct contact with clients. Moreover, in the context of international moving activities, it is necessary for the mover to be knowledgeable about the regulations governing the transportation of goods as well as customs regulations. Currently, no diploma is required for the profession of a mover. However, to offer a professional moving service with transportation and furniture elevators, it is necessary to undergo training. The most common is the CAP mover on a light commercial vehicle, which allows validation of the B and EB licenses, authorization to use a furniture elevator, the certified occupational first aid, and the certificate of aptitude for driving category 3 forklifts. There is also the CAP road freight driver, which allows validation of the C license as well as the minimum required initial training.

The job of a mover or moving assistant involves taking care of personal belongings, furniture, and other heavy or fragile objects of individuals, as well as safes, pianos, or even goods. In the context of moving a piano, a team of movers is responsible for packing the instrument using covers, security packaging, and other elements to transport it safely. They may also need to disassemble it if necessary and possible to facilitate lifting and handling, especially when moving it up stairs. The mover-transporter also ensures that the piano can be stable in their truck, van, or container using straps for bulky and large objects. Moving professionals take care of everything in a specific order for each object: labeling objects, packaging and packing them in moving boxes, using a lift for bulky and heavy objects or a system of wheels, the possibility of using a crane for the move without shocks, loading onto the transport vehicle, setting up and securing, transport by moving truck or other means, unloading at the new address or in a storage unit, and the possibility of unpacking according to the contract signed as part of the moving project...

The choice of a mover to take care of one's piano must be carefully considered. Several parameters must be taken into account in the context of private moves. The first thing to verify is the legality of the moving company. It is preferable to choose an authorized company registered with the register of road transport and goods, on the one hand, and with the register of commerce and companies or the register of trades, depending on its staff. Then, one can form our own opinion during a technical visit during which the mover makes a moving quote after evaluating the technical characteristics of the piano to be moved as well as the accessibility of the housing. Also, regarding the quote, it should contain all information concerning the service: date or period of the move, loading address, delivery address, distance between the two addresses, volume to be moved, precise details of the service, and payment method.
