Hot tub moving and placement
Yes, we move more than just music.
Moving a hot tub isn’t just heavy lifting—it’s an art. These oversized, awkwardly shaped spas can weigh hundreds of pounds and contain delicate internal systems. Surprisingly, one of the best types of specialists for the job? Piano movers. At Piano Moving Artists, we’re known for precision, care, and navigating tight, complex spaces—and we bring that same mastery to hot tub relocations.
If you’re planning to move your hot tub, here’s why partnering with piano movers like us is the smartest and safest move you can make.
Why Choose Piano Moving Craft for Your Hot Tub Move?
Skilled in Handling Heavy, Fragile Items
Just like a baby grand, a hot tub demands both strength and finesse. Our team is trained to maneuver bulky, fragile items without damaging the unit—or your home.
Specialized Equipment
We bring pro-grade tools: heavy-duty dollies, secure straps, padding, sliders, and lifting aids. What protects a piano also protects a hot tub.
Expert at Tight Spaces
Narrow hallways, staircases, and uneven ground? That’s our everyday. Whether it’s moving through a basement door or up a backyard slope, we map the route and move with surgical precision.
Safety First
DIY attempts can lead to injury or serious damage. Our crew uses proper techniques and equipment to handle the entire process safely—for you, your spa, and your property.
Steps for Moving a Hot Tub with Piano Movers
-
1. Prep the Hot Tub
-
Drain all water fully before the move.
-
Disconnect all power, cables, and external accessories (like the cover or steps).
-
Clean and dry the interior and exterior to avoid slippery handling or mess in transit.
2. Survey the Route
Measure doorways, gates, and turns between the current location and truck access. Clear any obstacles like garden furniture or narrow fencing.
3. Communicate Details
Give us the full picture: dimensions, weight, access points, and any tricky angles or terrain. The more we know, the better we plan.
4. Wrap and Protect
We pad the tub to shield it from scrapes and bumps. Protective blankets and custom foam corners keep everything intact.
5. Lift, Move & Transport
Our team lifts with precision using dollies and lifting aids designed for bulk and balance. We stabilize the load in the truck and position it perfectly at the destination.

Challenges of Hot Tub Moving
-
Heavy Even When Empty: Most hot tubs still weigh 500–900 pounds without water.
-
Delicate Components: Jets, heating systems, and acrylic shells are easy to crack if mishandled.
-
Tight & Uneven Terrain: Backyard slopes, grass, gravel, and tight corners all demand careful navigation.
-
Post-Move Setup: Placement, leveling, and reconnection to power/water must be considered.
