• If your safe is a new purchase, or youve already
  got one and need to move it to another location,
  its always best to have a professional do it for
  you. After all, your safe is a significant
  investment, and not only do you risk harming it
  by moving it alone, but you risk causing injury
  to yourself, too.
• If youre still planning to move your safe
  without professional help, here are a few reasons
  that should convince you to do otherwise

• There is a very real risk of injury
• Larger safes weight at least 500 lbs, and trying
  to move it without professional assistance and
  equipment, leaves you running the very real risk
  of causing serious harm to yourself to your
  back, in particular and anyone else helping
  you. Should the safe topple over, it could crush
  you, a pet, or a child, or cause significant
  damage to your home.

• You could damage the safe or your property
• As mentioned above, a safe could easily cause
  damage to your property, let alone to yourself,
  and you may even end up causing irreparable
  damage to the safe a big deal when you consider
  how much you might have invested in it. Trying to
  move a bulky, heavy safe up or down stairs for
  example, could cause them to collapse if theyre
  not sturdy enough, and if your equipment isnt
  strong enough to hold the safe, it could end up
  going where you dont want it to.

• To help you move your safewell, safely, here are
  a few tips
• Firstly, the single safest way to move a safe is
  by hiring professionals to do it for you. With
  the right equipment at their disposal, and all
  the best techniques, they can get the job done
  quickly and safely. However, just in case youre
  determined to move your safe without professional
  assistance, here are some things you should keep
  in mind
• Youll need the help of at least 3 strong
  people
• Without the proper equipment, you simply wont
  be able to move a large, high security safe
  yourself this will include a heavy duty
  appliance dolly, supporting straps or ropes, and
  thick moving blankets

6

• Note that blankets can help to protect the safe
  from damage, but if you fail to secure them
  properly, they can pose a very real tripping
  hazard
• The safe must be securely fastened with straps
  and/or ropes to stop it from slipping off the
  dolly as you move it
• Youll need a loading ramp if trying to move
  the safe onto the back of a truck, and once its
  inside, you must position it against one side of
  the truck and strap it securely in place this
  will prevent it moving around during the ride.

• Why its so much easier to simply hire the
  professionals
• When you take into account all of the equipment
  and skill needed to move a heavy, high security
  safe, it simply seems like the easiest, safest
  option to hire a couple of professional safe
  movers to come and get the job done for you.
• So, avoid injury and harm to your property - or
  to the safe itself - by hiring the pros to move
  your safe a DIY job simply isnt worth the
  hassle, danger and potential cost.
