Pianoplan 600 Rental

PianoPlan 600 – Hire & Rental Australia

with sliding and tilting platform

Hire the Hercules PianoPlan 600 – Europe’s most advanced stair climbing robot, capable of moving any bulky cargo up to 600kg up and down stairs with millimetre-precise joystick control. The ultimate rental solution for pianos, commercial fridges, photocopiers, safes, and any oversized load that standard stairclimbers simply cannot handle.

Europe’s Finest Stair Climbing Technology – Available for Hire in Australia: The PianoPlan represents the pinnacle of European stairclimber engineering. Independent powered tracks, a sliding and tilting platform, joystick precision control, and an extendable roller arm that rotates the machine within its own axis, no other rental stairclimber in Australia comes close to this level of capability. Climb staircases up to 45° gradient, navigate landings as narrow as 850mm, and reach up to 50 floors on a single charge.

600kg Capacity – Total Control on Any Staircase:

  • 600kg safe working load capacity

  • Joystick control for millimetre-precise positioning

  • Independent powered tracks for superior grip and stability

  • Sliding and tilting platform keeps load perfectly positioned above tracks at all times

  • Extendable roller arm rotates the machine within its own axis, navigates the tightest landings

  • Climbs staircases up to 45° gradient

  • Manoeuvres landings as narrow as 850mm

  • Climbs up to 50 floors on a single charge

  • Electromagnetic brake for maximum safety at all times

Three Models Available for Hire – Choose the Right One for Your Load:

PianoPlan Standard – Powered Sliding Platform: The go-to rental for objects that can be hoisted onto the platform and safely tilted to the staircase angle. The hydraulically actuated sliding top plate keeps the load perfectly level at all times throughout the climb.

  • Best for: Pianos, safes, vending machines, large furniture, bulky equipment

PianoPlan Horizontal – Powered Tilting Platform (Horizontal): Designed for loads that must remain horizontal regardless of staircase angle – up to 45°. The platform maintains a perfectly horizontal position relative to the stairs at all times.

  • Best for: Commercial photocopiers, medical equipment, sensitive electronics, liquid-containing machinery

PianoPlan Vertical – Powered Tilting Platform (Vertical to Horizontal): The specialist model for objects that must be rotated from vertical onto their side to be loaded onto the platform. Built-in stabilisers ensure complete safety throughout the rotation and climb. After climbing, the load is returned to its original upright position.

  • Best for: Commercial fridges, large appliances, upright industrial equipment, tall vending machines

Features & Benefits

SAFE
an electromagnetic brake works on the traction gear ensuring maximum safety so if the power fails the brake automatically locks the tracks.

ECONOMIC
only one or two operators required for a job usually needing four or five persons. Backache and physical strain nothing but a memory.

SPEEDY AND POWERFUL
equipped with powerful motors with a sturdy steel loading platform. Can climb approximately 50 floors on a single charge.

EASY TO USE
you can vary the climbing speed, the platform angle, move the load relative to the tracks to get a better centre of balance all at the touch of buttons located on the adjustable handle.

TIGHT LANDINGS
thanks to its very clever lifting system the Piano plan can allow a very bulky load (like a piano) to be manoeuvred around very tight landings.

JOYSTICK OPERATION
speed variation and steering on stairs or across ground is achieved by one finger on a joystick.

THREE MODELS TO CHOOSE FROM:

  • Pianoplan Standard (PPS600) – with powered sliding platform
  • Pianoplan Horizontal (PPH600) – with powered tilting platform
  • Pianoplan Vertical (PPV600) – with powered tilting platform to vertical position

Applications

The Pianoplan is often the solution when there is no other solution. Items weighing up to 600 kg often exceed the capacity of a lift, or maybe the item to be moved is the lift motor and gearbox!

The Pianoplan has been designed to take advantage of every millimetre available on tight stairs and landing. As it’s name suggests Piano installation and removal is a common residential application however the Pianoplan really wins in commercial applications like kitchen and laundry equipment, industrial white goods and electrical cabinets.

Pianoplan Horizontal allows the load to be kept level, ideal for sensitive freight that cannot be tipped on its side such as medical devices, industrial multi-functional printers and beverage vending machines. Pianoplan Vertical has the ability to self-load making it perfect for food and pharmaceutical machinery, industrial HVAC and money exchanges.

Other applications include:

  • Ski Lift Gondolas
  • Marine Pumps
  • Hospital Equipment
  • Safe and Vaults
  • Stone Bench tops
  • Glass Panels
  • Signage
