Moving Safe

[ToXIc]

HI all looking to move a safe any recommendation? Moving it from CaneRidge to Nolensville.

Pay somebody to move it for you. Cheaper than a trip to the emergency room.

[peejman]

If you don't have access to the proper equipment (tractor with a boom, furniture/car dollies, ...) and plenty of extra hands, hire someone who does.

What everyone has said.

 

 You may be able to rent an Air sled, they work great on moving them. You're still going to need multiple people to lift and all that.

This. I'm not going to risk a permanent back injury. I have nothing to prove.

Let me check with my mover and see if he is interested.

I think I paid $200 to move my last safe.  It was worth it.

do you have their info?

For 200 bucks I will come and move it.  LOL

As long as there are no stairs to worry about.

*sigh* unfortunately its coming out of a 2nd floor but it is going on the 1st floor at the new place after a few stares.

It was the Safe House.

[ToXIc]

they want $475

I moved one once. Paid the last time and was happy to do it.

[MacGyver]

There's no safe way to get a real safe down a flight of stairs without the right tools.

I'm going to want someone with those tools and insurance to move my safe. 

[n0rlf]

Yep stairs makes it a no no for me. I have moved a lot of safes but not up or down more than a doorway threshold.

Sorry, gotta go with the guys that say hire it done.

 

Another thought is to sell it to the new occupant and just buy a new one.

I was going to say the Safe House... but you may want to check with Parker's for another quote.

This is what I plan on doing. By the time I pay someone to move both I might be better off just buying a slightly bigger one.

My son-in-law moved a similar size Cannon brand safe . He used a strap and dolly. Did not need to negotiate but 2 steps upward and unloaded if off a low trailer.  If I had to move it, I would find someone else to do it, or pay the price. Over 400. bucks seems a bit  excessive to me.   

[KahrMan]

That does seem a little high.  On the other hand moving something that heavy down stairs without the correct tools and one mistake could end up costing you a lot more than $475.

I am betting that the safe house price includes installs including bolting it down

In the long distant past...I moved my first safe, a 24x32x60, myself with a standard refrigerator dolly. Up 2 steps, across a threshold and down a narrow hallway.

When we moved, I paid someone else to do it and never looked back.

Over the years, I've bought a few, and the worst was a huge Stack-On model that Dick's young employees laid on my flat trailer. I brought it home and tarped it over until I got 4 strong guys from our workplace to come and take it off the trailer and put it where I wanted it.

Cost me about 50 bucks for beer. I never complained.

Maybe...but not certain on it. I've bought things from them twice. Satisfied with what I got and the service, but that service can be pricey.

Delivery charge for a 20 mile round trip, and set up where I wanted was right at 300. That did not include the "install."

If I had that big a safe you can bet I would be paying someone to move it period!!! I would shop around at every possible company that moves them and might not pick the cheapest cause if I have not used them before or know someone that has I will be going with one that has references.............JMHO
