That dolly is an awesome piece of kit, having the right equipment makes the job much easier and safer. Very professional job.

[@Steadierpark]

I moved mine alone with an appliance dolly. I took the door off and re-boxed it to protect the paint. The door is 1/3 of the weight. Moved it down a flight of stairs alone. Not a big deal. Surprised it wasn’t scratched to hell from scraping it across your steps.

[@regsmith7604]

When they were moving that safe, it wasn’t no need for any talking. They knew what they were doing. They worked in concert with one another. I had a high outside paint partner like that. No talking. We knew what we were doing.

[@brentmedders]

You aren’t kidding about those guys. Even with that motorized dolly you still need muscle to finesse that thing around.

[@cotontop3]

You’re right 💪🏻

[@mandolicious69]

Should have left the carboad on the side against the dolly so it didn't scratch it..... also should use another strap...

[@mrbig4532]

I move boiler sections up and down sets of steps a lot thru out the heating season and the Front and Rear sections are almost 900 pounds and the intermediate ones are 550 pounds . I have had to go down three sets of steps or up steps and we are just using a hand truck with no motor. Me and another guy at work can get these things moved around but I’m getting old and the other guy isn’t to far behind me . Now my boss will buy any tool if we don’t abuse it and use it properly but for some reason he will not get a stair climbing hand truck . We also don’t have a liftgate on our trucks so we could use the handtruck to get stuff off they have a fork lift kit that clips onto your handtruck turning it into a forklift capable of lifting 1200 pounds . I guess a blown out back or a bad work injury is going to have to happen first and than when he sees the cost of the injury which will be in the 100’s of thousands of dollars vs 3000 dollars he’s going to wish he listened and purchased the handtruck.

[@mikedobson2988]

Guy up here has a special trailer set up to haul them, they definitely know how to move a heavy piece. Fun to watch the pros work.

[@f.davidbush9093]

They knew what they were doing. I like the cart they have. Makes it a lot easier. Love my Liberty safe."

[@cotontop3]

They got it figured out.

[@SmokeNGunsBBQ]

Couldnt find a single moving company in my entire county who has this type of dolly or experience.

[@Rocket-x9v]

I leave the box on do I don't scratch up the product, you need more than 1 strap as well. I have a power mate electric dolly that climbs the steps by itself with a press of a button, it has a break on it and it climbs steps and goes down steps, it has a raising lift on it as well.

[@eddie8279]

I learned that safes are not for diyer's to move! Pay the delivery service and stay out of the emergency room. Not a good day when it falls on ya.

[@tncountryboy06]

if one of those falls on you, youre not gonna have to worry about an emergency room, just life insurance

[@greggrondin3034]

Gary’s Gun and Pwn Shop been around a long time!! Good people!

[@srmcontracting]

I've used that same dolly dozens of times. One time we had to bring a 1200 lb equipment rack up 4 flights of steps. Like you said even with the motor it still takes a lot to move things that heavy.

[@musicman1eanda]

Where do you rent one?

[@srmcontracting]

@@musicman1eandaUnited rentals or sunbelt. Local rental yard may have them as well.

[@kubota1100able]

We own a 32 guns safe it weight 450 pounds we moved to north Carolina we had 4 strong man to help unload one of my favorite gun is my traurus judge 45/410 long Coit but my wife says it is her gun I was very Impressed How you sharpen chainsaw change My father would use a electric chainsaw sharpener Watching you sharpen chainsaw chain Reminded me of my father when I would watch him keep up the great work last tater

[@cotontop3]

That is pretty cool

[@peaches365]

Just threw my back out trying to get my 500lbs safe up a single step. Ima have to see if I can hire someone to drive out here and do it for me.

I really liked this stroller. Where can I find it to buy for my company?

[@tncountryboy06]

hell the dolly did 3/4 of the work lol

[@michaelatcheson4816]

Today I helped move a safe that weighed 2300 pounds

[@RJ-de2up]

Just my opinion, that strap should be a few inches from that combination control.

[@dandevlin185]

You might end up in that monster safe if you keep giving Jill some lip 😂😂😂

[@nicolaisvlog8701]

[@hoppy760]

That had to been close to 600 lbs. worth of men to move that safe. Great work guys. My son and I once did a 850 lb gun safe with an appliance dolly and our Tommy Gate on an F250. It was tough but no steps at all. We are only 350 lbs combined. LOL. That extra size and strength helps.

[@JayKayKay7]

I own two safes about half size. Have them bolted to the floor in difficult to access ground floor closets. Not a fan of battery operated locks. Like the old school dials. 1--Need a gun safe gun in case you find yourself opening it under duress. 2- Be aware of violent home invasion. (The whole world knows you have enough guns to fill it. ) 3- Go to spot for a tornado tearing through the neighborhood.

[@jern6137]

No chance that weighs 1000lbs. One guy cannot shuffle 1000 lbs in the bed of a pickup like that.

[@cotontop3]

Did you happen to notice what the safe was sitting on in the bed of the truck? The safe will easily slide on that type bed mat. Why would I lie about the weight? You can easily jump on liberty’s website and fact check me to see the weight without feeling like you have to pop off in the comments about it.

[@louisjoseph4114]

@jern6137 I said the exact same thing, I have a 1200lbs safe & even on the truck bed it won't slide like that. All 1/2" harden steel, I can't even tilt mines, there's no way.

[@louisjoseph4114]

​@@cotontop3I wished you knew what kinda hand truck they were using.

[@therealsolo23]

I agree. I literally had to carry a 400 on a second floor boy it was a pain. I could only imagine with 1000 lbs safe

[@Mr50stacks]

Dolly of the year

[@tchello210]

Who are those movers, I need a safe moved in Opelika

[@jimk654]

They did a great job except for uncovering the safe in the driveway. Anyone passing now know there are guns, valuables, etc. in the house and make it ripe for a break in. They could have waited until it was inside before taking the cardboard off.

[@AxtionMag]

Was thinking the same thing! As well as making sure both the address and features of his house were very noticeable in this video recording! Smh

[@cotontop3]

No doubt 💪🏻💪🏻

[@mike4769]

I used a ultralift for 8 years delivering safes. I only used it when climbing steps. It was much faster to use the flat furniture dolley they also sell. You can't turn tight corners when it's on the untra lift. Also you can't bring it back over with a low ceiling like in a older home. I would guess that I used the ultra lift less than 10 percent of my deliveries. We delivered liberty 50 safes this size and bigger heavier every day with no problems.

[@andersvalin2616]

Good afternoon Mike, I’m hoping to possibly startup a safe moving business from scratch. I have lots of experience moving things but of this heavy nature I would need to plan for getting the right tools, having an extra hand available, and charging a fair price. I was wondering if I could pick your brain on this sometime. I would really appreciate hearing some of your stories. Thank you

[@mike4769]

[@roqy9247]

@@mike4769 Even thats cheap, the going rate in Columbia SC is $400-500

[@mike4769]

@@roqy9247 it depends on the company. We do this all day and can move a 1000+ lb safe from house to house in a average of less than a hour total with just 2 guys. Another company in town uses 4 guys and it takes them 2 to 4 hours. Their labor cost force them to charge more. Sometimes I actually feel bad to collect 275 dollars when it only took us 30 min to move a cheap 400lb safe.

How did the floor in the house handle that weight. No fooling around with that kind of weight those guys have done that a time or two.

[@cotontop3]

[@gs1100ed]

We would put down floor protection (Masonite) when moving heavy things over carpet, tile, or hardwood. Even concrete floors can get scratched.

[@Graveltrucking]

@@gs1100ed It was the weight I would be worried about todays lumber is weak as ..... floor joist would be hurting with 1000lbs on them. Tim said he has concrete floors no worries there.

[@gs1100ed]

@@Graveltrucking Yes, here in Texas, most site built homes are on slab, but many also have floor coverings (carpet, tile, hardwood) that can be damaged when moving heavy objects across them. If the home was pier and beam, you might want to have the homeowner sign a waiver. UBC live load for residential floor is typically 40 psf.
