The J-4010 Jansen heavy duty upright piano dollies are designed to easily move your heavy studio and upright pianos. Equipped with 5" ball bearing casters, the heavy-duty all-steel frame construction gives years of trouble-free service. Manufactured in the United States by Jansen, these are the highest-quality piano dollies available on the market, and perfect for schools, churches, concert halls, professional studios, and home use. The upgraded large 5" rubber wheels make moving the piano much easier--including over bumpy surfaces, thresholds and carpet (standard dollies come with 2.5" diameter wheels). Crafted with industrial-grade materials, the Jansen J-4010 dolly is built to endure the rigors of frequent use, ensuring unmatched durability and reliability.

Sold as a set of two.

Each dolly in the set is engineered to distribute the piano’s weight evenly, reducing strain on floors while protecting them from scratches and dents.

Why Choose Jansen J-4010 Piano Dollies?

  • Effortless piano transport over any surface, including carpets, hardwood floors, and tile
  • Larger 5" Rubber Wheels.
  • Made in the USA with premium craftsmanship and durable materials
  • Perfect for professional and high-traffic environments, and for larger, heavier pianos.

 

A unique feature of these Upright Dollies is that the wheels are bolted onto the frame instead of being welded--this allows the wheels to be easily replaced or upgraded in the future, if ever required. 

We recommend the locking wheel option for pianos in high traffic areas, such as schools or churches, to provide additional safety and stability, while also keeping your piano firmly in place when performing.

If you have a heavier upright piano, such as a Yamaha U1, U2 or U3, you will need these larger dollies (the smaller J4009 dollies won't be able to safely support the weight and easily transport your piano).

Please note we will need the make and model of your upright piano, as manufacturing likes to verify the correct dolly was selected and that no modifications need to be made to the vertical piano dollies. The third box from the above menus allows you to type in your piano's make and model.

The swivel casters (wheels) on all Jansen dollies are equipped with ball bearings, making it much easier to move the piano. The density of the rubber wheels is designed to support the weight of your piano, while also protecting the finish of your floors and preventing damage. Our upgraded casters make for a smoother, quieter, and quicker move of the piano. This eliminates the common frustrations with cheaper dollies, which often have smaller, lower-quality wheels that leave marks and make maneuvering difficult (the upgraded Jansen casters really make a difference when moving the piano).

Secure the Piano to the Dollies:

If the piano will be staying on the dolly permanently, and you are looking for additional safety and stability (for example in a school/church), Jansen allows you the option of securing the piano to the dollies. There are four pre-drilled holes on the back, and two holes on the bottom of the dolly, and the user can attach the piano to the dolly via lag bolts, wood screws, or bolts. Note you would be attaching the rear of the piano to the dolly, not the front.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose an American-made Jansen piano dolly over imported models?

Jansen dollies are built in the USA from premium steel that won’t bend or warp under pressure — unlike cheaper imported options. They also use larger, non-marking rubber wheels that glide smoothly and protect your floors. Trusted by schools and concert halls for a reason.

What is the best dolly for upright pianos?

The Jansen J4010 is considered the industry standard for upright piano dollies, used by schools, performance halls, and institutions nationwide. It features a heavy-duty steel frame, 5-inch rubber wheels, and an extra-wide stance for maximum stability. It’s built in the USA for decades of reliable use and outperforms every imported alternative.

If you need the most durable, smooth-rolling upright dolly available, this is it.

What features should I look for in an upright piano dolly?

When choosing an upright piano dolly, look for these key features:

  • Large, non-marking wheels (at least 3"–5") for smooth movement
  • Reinforced steel frame for durability and weight support
  • Ball-bearing casters for easier turning and control
  • Low-profile design to keep the piano stable and at the correct height
  • Locking casters (optional) to prevent movement during use
  • Compatibility with your piano’s size and back-post structure


A high-quality dolly makes moving safer, protects your floors, and prevents long-term piano damage.

What sets Jansen piano dolly wheels apart from other brands?

Jansen uses high-quality, dense rubber that won’t crack, flatten, or leave marks over time. Unlike cheaper wheels made with hard, brittle rubber, ours maintain their shape under heavy weight and roll smoothly across hardwood, tile, or carpet — protecting your floors and your piano.

Are larger piano dolly wheels better for moving pianos?

Yes. Jansen uses oversized wheels that make it easier to move heavy pianos across carpet, tile, or hardwood — reducing strain and preventing damage. Our competition uses smaller, more inexpensive wheels, making it more difficult to move your piano.

Can a piano stay on a dolly permanently?

Yes — the J4010 is engineered for permanent installation. Many institutions leave their upright pianos on this dolly indefinitely. It does not damage the piano, and the dolly’s low profile (adds only 1.5" in height) ensures playability and pedal height remain comfortable.

Can a piano dolly be used on carpet, hardwood, or tile?

Quality piano dollies with non-marking rubber wheels can safely roll on hardwood, tile, and low-pile carpet. For plush carpet or uneven surfaces, larger wheels are better for stability and ease of movement.

Which upright piano dolly should I choose: J4010 or J4009?

Choose the J4010 if you need a heavy-duty dolly for larger upright pianos (like the Yamaha U1 or U3), or if your piano will be moved frequently across carpet, thresholds, or uneven floors. It features 5" wheels, a wider steel frame, and is designed for permanent, high-traffic use in schools, churches, and venues.

Choose the J4009 if you have a standard-size upright piano without front legs, and need a durable dolly for occasional movement on hard, smooth floors. It adds minimal height and works well in homes, studios, and low-traffic environments.
