Piano moving specialist G&R Removals’ new truck had a tight squeeze during one of its first deliveries to an address in Stockport recently.

Despite the extremely difficult access the piano was delivered safely and the immaculate new DAF emerged without a scratch, thanks to the expertise of George the driver.

The truck is an 18T DAF with a 12M custom-built insulated body fitted with a thermostatically-controlled heating system to keep the cargo space at a steady 21 degrees C. A rear-closure cantilever tail-lift makes loading and unloading the delicate instruments easy while a cosy twin sleeper Space Cab provides accommodation for the crew.

The new DAF will join G&R’s fleet for mainland UK and European piano and furniture deliveries - driver George has apparently asked for as many nights away as possible in his new truck! “An unhealthy attraction seems to be blossoming between man and machine,” joked G&R boss Lance Green.
