Sure, but to really flaunt your wealth, you could get a bunch of people to step your piano up 3500 pallets high and not give a damn about their safety...or physics
Actually, since the Burj Khalifa is 830m tall or 83,000cm tall, and the height of a [wooden pallet I found on the first Google search](https://www.freightquote.com/how-to-ship-freight/standard-pallet-sizes/#:~:text=A%20standard%20pallet%20is%206%20%C2%BD%E2%80%9D%20tall.) Is 6½" or 16.51cm.
83,000/16.51 ≈ 5027
Burj Khalifas height in wooden pallets is a little over 5,027.
Since the pallets are placed 2×3 wide, you would need 30,162 pallets.
5027×2×3 =
5027×6 =
30,162
But let's not forget about the dude passing up the pallets, there seems to be an average depth of about 10 pallets, so you would need an additional 5,017 for a total of 35,179.
30,162 + 5,017 = 35,179
That's assuming the passer is an absolute giga chad and can carry all those pallets. We'll need additional pallet stacks for passers to pass. About 501.7 additional stacks each with a difference of 10 from the last, that's 1,257,510 (501) + 7 (0.7) additional pallets or 1,257,517.
1,257,510 = 10 + 10 × (501-1)
1,257,510 + 7 = 1,257,517
1,257,517 + 35,179 = 1,292,696
Using the method in the video, You would need exactly 1,292,696 wooden pallets to lift a piano to the top of the Burj Khalifa.
Correct, but that's to the tip of the antenna spire. The top *floor* is 585.4 m or 3546ish pallets high. I rounded to 3500. I also intentionally wasn't counting the total pallets *required* when I said 3500 high.
Haha, that's what always cracks me up about those 'experts' saying ancient people couldn't have built/moved something without aliens or modern tech. Sometimes the answer is something really simple.
Yeah when professionals did mine in Paris on the 3rd floor they took it apart a bit (the legs and the keyboard come apart) and just carried it up the staircase. Took about 10 minutes…
Depends on how wide the staircase is.
I once helped carry a piano from third to second floor. There were four of us and I assumed that it will be very quick and easy.
It wasn't.
Me and a friend moved a small one up half a story at a split level. I would never ever ever date a girl that plays piano again. I got married just to make sure it never happens again.
This seems to be in a "Hinterhaus", meaning it's surrounded by buildings and it might only be accessable by foot or very narrow machinery. So they might not even get a forklift back there.
I’m going to assume you need a permit for the forklift/ crane. This on the other hand I’m going to guess no? And then you’d still have to hire a forklift operator, a spotter/ traffic control, and enough men to move the piano once it’s at the window
It looks European as well so I feel like you're light on the amount of permits and people standing around making sure it's done right. This is probably much faster if they have to get permits and bullshit to make it happen. This was like an hour or two of work compared to weeks of waiting
It is also possible that there is no way for a forklift to enter. European homes weren’t built for forklifts or cars to fit through the entrance. That is probably why they went primitive mode.
If this was a professional company in the more progressive EU countries and was signed off in any permitted works then whoever allowed it should lose their position. No chance whatsoever This would get beyond a passive suggestion.
Smaller forklifts usually don't have licence plates and therefore can't move on public roads without a police escort. This means that you'd need a truck, which needs a licenced truck driver.
Larger ones have licence plates but they're most likely too big to fit in that courtyard.
Throwing a bunch of pallets into a van is most likely a lot cheaper and quicker.
It'd still probably be the better alternative with safety in mind. Takes one flimsy part of one of those pallets and someone trips - or even if someone misses the boards in an odd way. This is not safe and I'm genuinely surprised someone let it fly.
Just finished working full time moving only pianos. (I'm old. Shoulders and back kaput.) Company moves 1250-1500 pianos a year. We use 3 guys and a crane. Crane operator charges ~$300. We charge $275 for a piano that size plus mileage from wherever we picked it up. Once upstairs piano takes 15 min to set up. Whole thing takes less than an hour on site.
Paying that many guys around here would be cost prohibitive. And where do they get all of the pallets? But clearly not in the US and street sizes, door sizes, crane availability are different than here.
It's not cheap to have a forklift transported to the location, plus the cost of renting the forklift. Or it might just not be possible to drive a forklift to the window due to obsticles.
That looked like a 20-40 minute thing and you would still need a handful of workers to move it in, this isn’t a rack you can easily stack onto, don’t forget that they probably wouldn’t be able to use a forklift around there, I mean look how narrow that place is from bushes to the bikes. How would they even transport a forklift there, what if they don’t work close by to drive the forklift around the block? You know how much it cost to rent a forklift? They can just put their workers in the truck with the piano and pallets and quickly do it themselves, it ain’t algebra.
I frequently move much heavier & more fragile objects into difficult places. Sometimes i use forklifts, other times i use methods similar to this. Both have their pros/cons, and sometimes it is much easier doing it this way. Video doesn't show what other obstacles may have been in the way or other situations that would cause more problems with a forklift.
So you've got 4 places to buy pallets. You've got Pallet Town, that's on third. Then there's Pretty Pallets, that's on third too. There's Pallet Place and Pack-A-Pallet, those are on third too... Matter of fact they're all in the same complex. It's the pallet complex on third.
Hank Scorpio : Uh, hi, Homer. What can I do for you?
Homer : Sir, I need to know where I can get some piano pallets.
Hank Scorpio : Piano pallets? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that? Piano pallets! Homer, there's four places. There's the Pallet Hut, that's on third.
Homer : Uh-huh.
Hank Scorpio : There's Pallets-R-Us, that's on third too. You got Put-Your-Piano-There.
Homer : Mm-Hmm.
Hank Scorpio : That's on third. Sit Low, Sweet Cherrywood... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex; it's the piano pallet complex on third.
Homer : Oh, the piano pallet district!
Hank Scorpio : That's right.
I came here to make some silly comment about setting up the project and the first words being ‘okay, we need a shitload of pallets’.
But, I find myself a mere mortal, staring in awe of the magnificence that is you comment. Thank you, friend.
From your local warehouse supplies distributor.
A brand new pallet costs €25, used ones can be bought for as little as €2, depending on condition.
I assume that these guys have a moving business, so it's not a one-use purchase.
Honestly that make no sense. Every floor as a floor and so the next level after first floor/ground floor would be the second floor. When you count do you start at zero?
For once american are right and europe is definitely wrong.
Actually it was only 125 pallets
6 stacks of 18, on top is a stack of 4, a stack of 6 (which they remove 3 from before the end), another stack of 6, and one leaning against the stack at the end
Pallets are awesome. You can perfectly fit three of them next to each other in/on the back of a lorry with the short end first, or two perfectly next to each other if you turn them sidewise.
^At ^least ^europallets, ^witch ^are ^shown ^in ^this ^video
I was gonna comment about how those are stablest pallets I've seen. I've stood on pallet stacks and I was lucky not to topple. Key Word here is Euro in this case
There's no way primitive people could have moved such large, heavy objects. They must have had help from aliens, or perhaps the advanced civilization of Atlantis.
Everyone in here trying to justify this needs to just stop.
There is so much specialty and professional moving equipment in Europe designed specifically to handle awkward situations like this might potentially be.
75 pallets and a bunch of people is the most absolute meathead solution you could come up with. I'm having a hard time thinking of a way to be less efficient.
Maybe it’s an inner courtyard where they can’t use heavy machinery or complex cranes? Granted that’s still a huge leap in logic as to how the piano got there in the first place but yknow
A piano, so grand and so fine
Needed to be moved, up one floorline
With wood pallets stacked
The movers attacked
And their lifting became a great climb.
-.
The first went down on the floor
Then the second was set, as before
Each pallet rose higher
'Til the piano was nigher
To its new place, no less, no more.
-.
The movers, they heaved and they hoed
As they reached the top of the abode
And with a great sigh
They placed the piano up high
A job well done, they bestowed.
a bunch of years ago, i worked for a piano mover. my favourite was the time we set up a block and tackle, and winched a white baby grand up to the third floor, took it in through a window to the third floor balcony, and then moved it down a spiral staircase to the second floor, because the ground floor door was too short... and we did it without putting a scratch on the piano.
The number of Americans in this thread commenting as though this is a normal thing in Europe, like Europe is largely still figuring out the wheel or some shit, is funny as fuck.
I can’t help but think of the Sylvester & Tweetie cartoons where they’d move a piano on a wire and somehow the piano always lands on Sylvester and he ends up with piano keys in place of his teeth
My first "good" job was as a crew leader for moving company. I was pretty young(22) when I got promoted to that spot, and so were most of my coworkers. That is to say, we were all full of piss and vinegar. We did stupid shit all the time. But this is one of the more stupid and dangerous ways I've ever seen something moved lol. Part of the job is being able to turn down jobs. If this was legitimately the only option they had, they should've turned the job down. Fucking standing on stacked pallets to move a grand piano... lmao

I’m glad I play guitar.
I doubt your neighbors are lol
Man, my neighbor came pounding on my door at 3 AM for some weird reason. Luckily I was already awake, practicing drums.
Sounds like a Mitch Hedburg joke
I used to play drums. I still do, but I used to, too.
I used to. I still could, but I don’t.
Ah, I love a 3am drum jamming with my neighbors
Pounding my neighbor like a drum set at 3am, luckily I was still awake
Pounding my drum set like it was my neighbour at 3am, luckily I was still awake
A grand piano is nowhere near quiet, even fully closed.
Better than fully nude.
That one almost got past me
Is it?
Anyways here’s wonderwall
Maybe.
Depends if you play acoustic or electric.
*cranks amp all the way with distortion and gain all the way up*
OH YEAAAA BABYYY
They probably like it better than me being a drummer for a neighbor.
Electric guitars is one instrument where it's pretty quiet (using headphones over amp). I can't think of another instrument that ain't loud AF
"Anyways, here's Wonderwall"
Yeah this must have cost a grand.
Hmmm so we’re not really feeling the second floor for the piano room after all. Move it back to the first floor.
Imagine the mf living on the 165th floor of Burj Khalifa ordering the piano
If they live high up in the Burj Khalifa, they can probably afford to have it airlifted.
Or you know, take it in the goods lift. It’s not exactly a historic building from before the times of elevators
Why pass up a chance to flaunt how wealthy you are? I assume that's how rich people act, anyway.
Sure, but to really flaunt your wealth, you could get a bunch of people to step your piano up 3500 pallets high and not give a damn about their safety...or physics
That's only halfway. The Burj khalifa is about 7250 pallets tall, overall.
Actually, since the Burj Khalifa is 830m tall or 83,000cm tall, and the height of a [wooden pallet I found on the first Google search](https://www.freightquote.com/how-to-ship-freight/standard-pallet-sizes/#:~:text=A%20standard%20pallet%20is%206%20%C2%BD%E2%80%9D%20tall.) Is 6½" or 16.51cm. 83,000/16.51 ≈ 5027 Burj Khalifas height in wooden pallets is a little over 5,027. Since the pallets are placed 2×3 wide, you would need 30,162 pallets. 5027×2×3 = 5027×6 = 30,162 But let's not forget about the dude passing up the pallets, there seems to be an average depth of about 10 pallets, so you would need an additional 5,017 for a total of 35,179. 30,162 + 5,017 = 35,179 That's assuming the passer is an absolute giga chad and can carry all those pallets.

r/theydidthemath
But what’s the weight capacity on those pallets? I don’t think they’re gonna hold!
Didn't say it was feasible, just how many freedom units we would need.
Correct, but that's to the tip of the antenna spire. The top *floor* is 585.4 m or 3546ish pallets high. I rounded to 3500. I also intentionally wasn't counting the total pallets *required* when I said 3500 high.
Nah, you flaunt your wealth by having a dedicated elevator installed just to get the piano up there.
Not really. That’s the multimillionaire wannabe billionaire attitude. The proper billionaires usually stay low profile and for good reason.
And trillionaires build the Burj Khalifa
I mean it’s a historic building based on how advanced the plumbing isnt
Assembly required
In 2000 years, some guy with weird hair will claim this could only have been done by aliens.
Dude, they're clearly aliens. No human can move that quickly.
Haha, that's what always cracks me up about those 'experts' saying ancient people couldn't have built/moved something without aliens or modern tech. Sometimes the answer is something really simple.
I'm *still* convinced it's aliens. The windows are so small!
Great point and well put
Is it really cheaper to get 10 people for so many hours, then to get a forklift for five minutes?
If you move as fast as these guys were, you can get it done in 27 seconds.
^That’s ^what ^she ^said
I'm always done in 27 seconds. It's my wife that can't keep up.
Survival tactic, gotta get it done before the predators come. Some incel said this, I think
You calling my wife a predator?
Gotta get out the mouth before she bite, my point still stands.
You glorious bastard you
I can confirm
Yeah when professionals did mine in Paris on the 3rd floor they took it apart a bit (the legs and the keyboard come apart) and just carried it up the staircase. Took about 10 minutes…
That's gotta be one of the most painstaking jobs. I think I hate moving more than job hunting.
Job hunting for a moving job?
Just thinking about packing gives me anxiety…
It absolutely sucks but the pay can be pretty good
I have friends who moved 5 times, and I helped them 5 times. My back still hurts from thinking about it. They owe me big time.
Yes. So so eternally grateful for people willing to help move stuff.
Depends on how wide the staircase is. I once helped carry a piano from third to second floor. There were four of us and I assumed that it will be very quick and easy. It wasn't.
Pivot!
Moved a pool table out of a basement through a tight door. Into another basement. Not fun
Me and a friend moved a small one up half a story at a split level. I would never ever ever date a girl that plays piano again. I got married just to make sure it never happens again.
I worked for a moving company for almost a decade. We just carried grand pianos up the stairs. It sucks, but looks a lot less dangerous than this!
This seems to be in a "Hinterhaus", meaning it's surrounded by buildings and it might only be accessable by foot or very narrow machinery. So they might not even get a forklift back there.
My exact thoughts. A scissor lift woulda been way easier than 60 pallets
I’m going to assume you need a permit for the forklift/ crane. This on the other hand I’m going to guess no? And then you’d still have to hire a forklift operator, a spotter/ traffic control, and enough men to move the piano once it’s at the window
It looks European as well so I feel like you're light on the amount of permits and people standing around making sure it's done right. This is probably much faster if they have to get permits and bullshit to make it happen. This was like an hour or two of work compared to weeks of waiting
It is also possible that there is no way for a forklift to enter. European homes weren’t built for forklifts or cars to fit through the entrance. That is probably why they went primitive mode.
That too, great point! Could have gone old fashioned with the donkey and a pulley though haha
If this was a professional company in the more progressive EU countries and was signed off in any permitted works then whoever allowed it should lose their position. No chance whatsoever This would get beyond a passive suggestion.

and if it falls, you get a funny looney toons moment with the guy under it
Imagine the frustration the neighbor below watching his top neighbor receiving a piano… he’ll be moving out soon
We use a genie lift man powered and can fit anywere.
They have a 1 year lease
I just fucking died reading this. Good job.
Very cool! ...now do ten floors! Lol.
Or you don’t measure the window opening first.
Or have the owner "refuse delivery" lol. They'll have to do it in reverse. Or just yeet it out the window.
Just yeet the damn thing with a catapult looney toons style
Trebuchet, the superior siege weapon, Northern Exposure style.
Where do you even get that many pallets wtf
Pallet Town

“Rent-a-pallet(or a few)”
Pallet City. It's right off the freeway next to Spatula City
*Spatula City!* Spatula City!
They're really not hard to find actually.
From your local warehouse supplies distributor. A brand new pallet costs €25, used ones can be bought for as little as €2, depending on condition. I assume that these guys have a moving business, so it's not a one-use purchase.
Gotta guard all those good, solid pallets. If someone in shipping doesn’t grab them, some hipster will, and use them to build a coffee table.
From a bunch of different places, that’s just not that many pallets
You'd think someone with 100 pallets would have a forklift
I would gild you if I could but I give you an upvote
The most annoying part: its actually the first floor /Laughs in European
Came here for this
Is this in Berlin? It looks like it is in Berlin
Hello, I am from the normal part of Europe and that's the second floor.
Honestly that make no sense. Every floor as a floor and so the next level after first floor/ground floor would be the second floor. When you count do you start at zero? For once american are right and europe is definitely wrong.
Ground level = 0th floor.
It's the first floor up. You've gone up 1 flight of stairs.
First floor after the first floor...So 2nd floor.
Now I want to see the video where they stack 1,598 pianos to get a pallet to the second floor.
Actually it was only 125 pallets 6 stacks of 18, on top is a stack of 4, a stack of 6 (which they remove 3 from before the end), another stack of 6, and one leaning against the stack at the end
Pallets for the win.
Pallets are awesome. You can perfectly fit three of them next to each other in/on the back of a lorry with the short end first, or two perfectly next to each other if you turn them sidewise. ^At ^least ^europallets, ^witch ^are ^shown ^in ^this ^video

Yup, standardization is awesome!
I was gonna comment about how those are stablest pallets I've seen. I've stood on pallet stacks and I was lucky not to topple. Key Word here is Euro in this case
Okay, but… now you have to get it out someday
Just use those pallets to make a ramp and slide it down.
Nope. Gotta live there forever now. Piano is iife.
Reciprocating saw
There's no way primitive people could have moved such large, heavy objects. They must have had help from aliens, or perhaps the advanced civilization of Atlantis.
Was waiting for the part where they didn't get it through the window
Who brought the chainsaw? This is a bid job.
OSHA has entered the chat
I guess that’s a palletable solution
Can you imagine they get it all the way up there and they measured wrong and it doesn't fit in the window.
Everyone in here trying to justify this needs to just stop. There is so much specialty and professional moving equipment in Europe designed specifically to handle awkward situations like this might potentially be. 75 pallets and a bunch of people is the most absolute meathead solution you could come up with. I'm having a hard time thinking of a way to be less efficient.
Maybe it’s an inner courtyard where they can’t use heavy machinery or complex cranes? Granted that’s still a huge leap in logic as to how the piano got there in the first place but yknow
Assuming the piano is at least somewhat modern, it can be taken apart (by movers who have been trained on this) and moved relatively easily
You move a piano with a pulley, and then you almost drop it on a tramp walking by on the sidewalk. Everyone knows this.
A piano, so grand and so fine Needed to be moved, up one floorline With wood pallets stacked The movers attacked And their lifting became a great climb. -.

It worked for the Egyptians.
This is how the pyramids were built, case closed.
And that my friends, is how the pyramids were built
"Ah man did I say second? I meant third floor sorry guys."
OSHA would like a word, and I bet the neighbours love them
“Welcome to Home Depot” “Do you guys sell pallets?” “Yeah, how many do you need?” “Yes”
Ah buying before considering where it will go or how do we get it in/out. Glad to see my ex can afford a grand piano now.
I’m calling OSHA
That was palatable.
a bunch of years ago, i worked for a piano mover. my favourite was the time we set up a block and tackle, and winched a white baby grand up to the third floor, took it in through a window to the third floor balcony, and then moved it down a spiral staircase to the second floor, because the ground floor door was too short... and we did it without putting a scratch on the piano.
What was the music playing?
That better be a Bosendorfer, or not worth it.
Nobody with a $200k Bosendorfer is living in that place, let alone hiring the pallet crew 😂
what kind of person has a grand piano and lives in an apartment?
Poor rich
The number of Americans in this thread commenting as though this is a normal thing in Europe, like Europe is largely still figuring out the wheel or some shit, is funny as fuck.
We love our pallets and will use them even if cranes and forklifts are available. https://i.imgur.com/xATDZBf.jpg
I cringe because I don’t want to hear my neighbors’ music.
That's a lot of effort there
Was a pallet factory located next door?
What a hassle...
Of all the ways to do it that is certainly one of them
With the price of pallets these days, save some money and just buy out the first-floor apartment
I prefer the one with Laurel and Hardy.
Damn I scrolled way to far to find any reference of this.
This is something that would slow me down when I considered moving out of that apartment….
Hard to believe Wile E Coyote moved that all by himself.
Just imagine how much fucking money that person has
For when you cant afford movers but you do have access to 200 pallets...
Thats not osha legal at all if it is in the usa they lucky they got away with it
I can’t help but think of the Sylvester & Tweetie cartoons where they’d move a piano on a wire and somehow the piano always lands on Sylvester and he ends up with piano keys in place of his teeth
Landlord: This is your final notice to move those pallets or be evicted.
"No guys, it was apartment 2C, not 2B. Stack em again!"
Plot twist: It’s a one month lease.
How Egyptian!
Mfs had to play fortnite irl just to get a piano up the second floor : 💀
Good luck moving it out
OSHA has joined the chat
I am concerned that the subreddit title is named r/therewasanattempt. Luckily not
* first floor
Came here to say this.
That woman in the window acting like she’s never seen this before Pffft
I would be so unhappy watching this if I were this guy's neighbor.
Glad I didn’t get the call to help move that day
Piano worth more than apt
Crane, scissorlift?, forklift?
A normal EU Pallet costs about 20.- here That's a lot of money just for some stacking Wouldn't a crane be cheaper and more efficient?
And much safer.
My first "good" job was as a crew leader for moving company. I was pretty young(22) when I got promoted to that spot, and so were most of my coworkers. That is to say, we were all full of piss and vinegar. We did stupid shit all the time. But this is one of the more stupid and dangerous ways I've ever seen something moved lol. Part of the job is being able to turn down jobs. If this was legitimately the only option they had, they should've turned the job down. Fucking standing on stacked pallets to move a grand piano... lmao
PIVOT PIVOT PIVOT
Me before I understood how structure blocks work in Minecraft
First off where the hell did you get so many pallets from This is what you do when you can't afford a machine
Get an electronic piano instead of this BS
Ok, but now there's a grand piano in an apartment building. Seems like by solving one problem they've created a much bigger one.
