Tools for Technicians: The Grand Action Cart and More
At Cantrell's Piano Clinic, we understand the unique challenges piano technicians face when servicing a variety of piano models in different environments. That’s why we've designed tools specifically for professional piano technicians, including the versatile Grand Action Cart, which has been helping technicians since 1992.
The Grand Action Cart: A Must-Have for Piano Technicians
The Grand Action Cart was developed after visiting the Baldwin piano factory and observing their use of carts to assist in the removal and transportation of grand actions. In the field, technicians work with pianos of varying heights, and our adjustable Grand Action Cart accommodates this need. The cart's height can be adjusted from 23 1/2 inches to 28 inches, making it suitable for almost any piano.
Key Features:
- Adjustable Height: Perfect for technicians working with multiple piano models and brands.
- Locking Casters: Rated at 75 lbs. each, providing stability while transporting heavy piano actions.
- Lightweight and Portable: Weighing just 14 lbs., the Grand Action Cart is easy to maneuver.
The cart is also equipped with locking casters for safe and easy transportation of the grand action during repairs or regulation work.
The Table Top: Expanding the Cart's Functionality
After years of use, we added a table top feature to enhance the cart’s functionality, transforming it into a portable workbench. The table top is made of durable birch plywood and provides a 19" by 60" work surface when fully assembled. This surface is ideal for placing vertical actions in an action cradle for in-home repairs or using as an auxiliary workbench in your shop.
Table Top Features:
- Foldable Design: The top folds in half when not in use, making it easy to store and transport.
- Quick Assembly: The entire cart, including the table top, can be assembled in just 5 minutes with minimal tools.
- All-in-One Design: All hardware has dedicated storage on the cart, so nothing is misplaced.
The table top allows technicians to use the cart as a stable platform for various types of repairs, from action regulation to minor adjustments. For grand pianos, the cart provides full support for the action while allowing access to the pedals for voicing and other delicate work.
