The HeftMate pianolift is a professional-grade pianolift primarily designed for moving companies and piano transporters. However, it's also exceptionally well-suited for relocating pianos in cultural institutes, theaters, and music schools. 

The idea for HeftMate was born out of necessity. Marc van Gerven, after years of heavy lifting and transporting pianos, was diagnosed with knee injuries in both legs. Unable to find a suitable tool for piano transport, Marc decided to design his own.

The development process was carried out by a specialized company in machine engineering and control systems. A prototype of the HeftMate Pianolift underwent extensive testing. The primary goal was to create a robust structure capable of withstanding heavy use. Two years later, and after obtaining European safety approvals, the first series of the HeftMate pianolifts went into production. 

The HeftMate pianolift is the result of 40 years of practical experience. Its foundation is a hydraulically assisted foot pump that effortlessly lifts 300kg. The result is a durable, high-quality product with maintenance-free technology. The HeftMate pianolift complies with all European standards for safety and ergonomics, carrying the CE certification. HeftMate is proudly manufactured in the Netherlands and consists of three separate components.

 These components can be individually ordered and delivered: 

• HeftMate Pianolift
• HeftMate Dolly
• HeftMate Brake

In the Netherlands, you can find the HeftMate pianolift at HeftMate and Pianohandel J. van Gerven in Mierlo. The HeftMate pianolift comes with a 6-month warranty and a 10-year guarantee on the availability of replacement parts. For further and detailed information, please refer to our terms and conditions.
