Does anyone know where to buy these or some ideas if you have made your own? The only place I can find them only sells to company's and security agency's/government
-
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.

I used a pallet jack....worked well

I just hire Northwest Safe! Reasonable and do all the work!
-
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 did it get where it's at in the first place?

NW safes delivered it for around 150 bucks since I bought it from them

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.
-
Wood dowels work & are cheap
-
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.

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.

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.
