Moving a packed gun safe has a potential to be more than a bit dangerous. We always recommend that you hire professionals to move your gun safe like this, but sometimes life gets complicated. So, how can you make sure you're ready to move your safe?
When it comes to moving a safe, you have to plan accordingly, because moving a safe can be a dangerous position if you don't prepare. Here are some tips on what you need to do to safely move your heavy-duty safe.
Move a gun safe the right way
There is a right way to move a gun safe to reduce damage and risk of injury. The process requires some special tools and experiences. We always recommend that you leave the movement of heavy-duty safes and other special trains to the professionals, but if you find that you have to do it yourself, make sure you move your safe the right way. Here's our step-by-step guide to the preparation of your gun safe and move it in the right direction.
Empty your safe before you move it
It carries repetitive: Do not move your safe while it is loaded. If you don't empty it, it is possible that if your rifle is dropped safely or any other accident occurs, you can risk damage to your device, and that can add to expensive repairs. And please, don't move loaded weapons into your gun safe. Just say.
Get the property equipment to move a gun safe
From renting a strong dolly car to remembering gloves, safety belts, and a large, robust truck to load it, don't cut corners when it comes to picking up the right equipment to make a safe move. Heavy-duty moves require a heavy working device.
Identify the obstacles in the way of moving your safe
Stairwells, narrow corridors and small door frames are just some of the biggest obstacles that can make your safe to move. Special equipment such as stair climbing dollies will make this task much more manageable. Also, measure your safe to know its dimensions before you start and plan the way you need to follow as soon as you arrive at your destination, and before you begin to move, your safe.
Secure Your Safe Before You move
Make sure you use the straps that you bought or borrowed. You'll be great to keep your safe from rolling out the dolly while transporting it from your house to the truck, as well as secure the safe during transportation.
Collect Strong, Experienced Moving Help
When it comes to moving a safe, the help you have is the merrier you're going to be! If you don't have professional experience in professional life, then make sure you can collect a crew of strong friends who have experience in the movement of heavy items, such as a rifle safe or a jacuzzi. What is lacking in professional experience, you can do more than creating, by mobilizing a strong crew of eager movers to safely lift, carry or load your weapon (or maybe look out of the house). Always make sure your crew is wearing gloves. Friends don't let friends risk getting their fingers crushed. Last, make sure that all drinks have a lot of water, because to move a gun safe is a difficult task!
Gun Safe movers
And there it is: If you have acquired all the necessary equipment and a strong group of friends, relatives or professionals to move your safe, you should be ready to load your safe back and enjoy its new place. Just remember these tips:
- Empty your gun safe before you move it
- Get the property equipment to move a safe
- Identify the obstacles on the way to move your gun safe
And when challenges arise in planning or implementing your move, you will call certified professionals to give you an offer so that you can easily move your safe. Most certified movers have experience moving large and heavy items, as well as navigating all sorts of obstacles, such as stairs and challenging doors. We always recommend hiring professionals, instead of complicated, possibly dangerous movements themselves, such as moving a gun safe.
