If your safe isn't thousands of pounds, I would get large furniture sliders from the hardware store.

If you're handy you could make some. Amazon sells some products you can use.


If you have stairs to traverse, Sunbelt Rental has a 1500 stair climber dolly for $171 after taxes. I recently used one to move a 600+ pound safe from one city to another.

Something like this should work. I've done it with wood dowels before

I know they want 300 bucks just to come out and put the safe in a moving truck! Literally move the safe 15 feet for 300 bucks! Thanks for the ideas keep them coming!

How much does the safe weigh? We used one of these for a smaller, 500lb, safe and it worked fine :tup:

NW Safe quoted me over $400 to pick up, deliver 30 miles away and install and it wasn't even same day.

I have moved my Cannon 50 many times with wood closet dowels. Piece of cake. Surprising how little effort

I used the large furniture sliders to move mine by myself. I could push it with one hand just fine. Going down stairs got a little tricky, i just laid in on its back and slid it down. This is after disintegrating a heavy duty dolly trying to move it, LOL

It depends on if you're just moving it out of the way, or moving it to a completely new location. 

NW safe moved mine from house to house, it cost around $400 if I remember correctly because they charged me drive time.

Moving out of the way in house for painting we were able to move about 2,000lbs of safe on a set of three lengths of conduit, just me and one other person pushing once I spend the time to slip the conduit under the safe body.

Have you tried the air sled? Move vending machines with it.
