Let me know what you find. I have a 1400# Liberty safe to move. I can get truck next to it in garage (have a backhoe with forks we can load it with there), drive 20 miles, and only needs to go 30' on the same level where it is going in.
There is no greater respect to have for wildlife than to harvest an animal fairly and use it's flesh to feed your family.  ~me

Mine is 800 pounds. I'm starting to think just pay NW safes. I keep meaning to call this locksmith supply company but I have a feeling they won't sell slick sticks to a random guy.

I bought an appliance dolly rated for a 1000 pounds and had a few buddies help get mine moved. We have hardwoods in my new place though you have to be careful with those, we scuffed up around it pretty bad taking it off but looking back that could have been avoided.

It wasn't too bad other than getting it in and out of the truck.

If you can afford it, it's worth it.  I bought a colonial 50 from them and with a work truck and a few friends I'm sure I could have installed it myself.  Instead I got smart and paid NW Safe a little extra and they did everything for me while I watched with a cup of coffee in my hands.  Great service all around from their sales team to their field guys.

You should be able to rent the air bags from a rental place that can handle 800 lbs. we use them occasionally to move really heavy refrigeration and restaurant equipment in place. I know hardware sales in bellingham has them that'll handle 2 tons. It's like $50 a day.
You literally move equipment with one hand. Cheaper than hernia surgery.
