Gun Safe Moving Tips?

[338Shooter]

Thinking about a bigger safe and would like to know how the heck you guys get them in the house and where you want it to go. Safe in question weighs 1650#.

Wouldn't mind a helping hand from a couple of you local dudes too when the time comes. Might be able to arrange some grub or some brewskies for willing participants.

On carpet, the best I have found was golf balls, lots and lots of golf balls.

Idea - give some guns away - TO ME - then buy a smaller safe. May be worth looking at paying extra to have them put it where you want it.

If I were closer, I'd be in to help.

Slick strips are how I moved mine... it is right at 1000#.

I'll help if I can. Like the other guys have said, Walk like an Egyptian.

I think you can rent stuff like this locally.

You know if you buy it from H&H they'll deliver it and put it where you want don't you?

This is from another thread posting:

my recomendation is always 1" schedule 80 pvc pipe. use two pipe only. cut them 19" . tip up safe from side. stick roller under edge. and push " min effort"
when roller hits middle of safe. it will pivot. have wife/friend place second roller right under edge of safe.. push.. when first roller kicks out the back. rotate it to the front. if you need to make a turn. set a roller at a 45 and the safe will almost turn itself. this is the cheapest system and the safest. from a guy who moves safes for a living.

Seems like getting over threshold and a porch step(s) would be difficult too.

Agree with the carpet statement. Also, you have a rough idea of how close I am to you so let me know if you need a hand.

But then again, the hallway I had to move it down was tile.... I have a fairly heavy duty dolly..
