Moving a gun safe!

[Buck_Up]

I rented a piano moving rig for my safe, of similar weight. It has ratchet straps that go around the safe, then each corner has a lengthy solid hardwood handle (hinged), that allows 2 people to get purchase on.

6 people, my safe was a piece of cake. Just over 100lbs per person. Could have done most of the move with 2 people, except for the stairs.
Cost me $50 for the piano rig, and another $25 for a case of beer for myself and my buds. Note - beer stayed in the fridge until the safe was in place...

Here's a video...

Move a safe think like a Greek architect, use round stock steel bars 3 will do easy, I had one guy move a 1100 pound safe by himself, he made it look easy

I used 1.25" steel pipe sections to roll my safe out of the garage in my old home. Lifted it onto a flat bed trailer using a hardened eye bolt and a backhoe, then laid it down on the back, securing with heavy tie downs. Same procedure at the new house in reverse. An easy job for two guys. Of course pipes won't work on steps. Probably wouldn't work on any type of carpet either. If I ever want / need a safe inside the house, I will probably get one of these: https://zanottiarmor.com/
