TonyG Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 I need a 500lb safe moved from garage to basement. Anyone have any contacts? I moved the SOB from my old house and refuse to move it any further...so DIY is out of the question here. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Stand outside of lowes or another improvemnt store and ask a few guys to help with a dolly. You will be surprised what people will do for some beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be surprised what people will do for some beer You'll be surprised how they care so little about your walls and drop a safe on themselves. Hire a mover ...

Ha you think movers care? They are the same college kids working at 2 men and a truck during the day. But at least you would be able to hold them liable.

You will be surprised what people will do for some beer 10 years ago maybe, too many nut jobs out there for me to invite strangers to my house. I vote for calling Vance's and seeing who they use.

Kawboy1647545515 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 If you reconsider moving it yourself, I suggest removing the door and moving it in two pieces. I've moved mine which is close in weight, three times by myself like this using an appliance cart. I get help getting the door on and off but once that's done it was very manageable for one person.

cinergi Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Look up Pete's piano / vault and safe moving. I have used them before and they do great. I believe they are out of Delaware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Look up Pete's piano / vault and safe moving. I have used them before and they do great. I believe they are out of Delaware. They are out of Tipp City but yes this is a good company. I've used them before with no issues Will move up or down 1 flight of steps. They even picked my safe up from the shipping company. I will use them again when I buy a new house. http://www.superpages.com/bp/Tipp-City-OH/Petes-Safe-Vault-Moving-LLC-L2059588133.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
