If you can get a piece of heavy duty PVC drainage pipe or a big square wooden post put that as far forward in the bed as you can that way when you hit the brakes that safe doesn’t tear up the bed or crack the back glass
+Mike McManus I wouldn’t try it, that’s safe is a beast. Go to plan “B” and have a professional move it for you. We’ve had some customers pick up 4000, 5000, and 6000 pounds Safes in the past. They knew what they were doing, probably in the trucking business or the moving business etc. Best of luck and thanks for watching, John
+daniel velarde Wow that’s less weight than my wife and I. What we’ve found is aftermarket tailgates don’t hold as much weight as OEM Gates (so we ask first). The way we load the safe, at no time is the gate holding all the weight. the gate gets a tad more than a half the weight of the safe, the two guys in the video are holding the rest.
The aftermarket tailgates don’t hold up. Personally I’ve loaded thousand pounders onto the backs of trucks with the tailgate even though I don’t recommend it.
Thanks for the tip. You saved me a trip to my chiropractor.
Glad to help

Good suggestion, I have a 2 x 4 against the front of my bed that works as my stopper
Just purchased a BFX 7240. Will this same technique work for that weight?

Be careful leaving your tailgate down because you could bend it it somehow happened with only a 300 lb safe so like I said.

What's the huge dent in the right rear of the green pickup body? Is that one that got away from you?
+Muckey Duck
I can’t seem to find the dent much less the green pick up.
Thanks for watching, John

Still looking for the green pickup body😬❓
It looks green to me. I guess it's like the dress a few years back.
@@DeanSafe Starting at the 0:47 mark in the video.
Thanks John, My name is John, with Dean as my last name. good video, I think I'll just bring the trailer to get my safe to be "safe".
Me too, I’m also John Dean, good to meet you. 👍
Don’t suppose your middle initial is “T“?
@@DeanSafe Good to meet you too. Strong name!
@@DeanSafe it is, lol
Is there a same name discount on safes?
@@JohnDeanT are you kidding me, wow. Love to meet you.
How do you move one across 30 feet of wet grass? :P
Lay down some plywood to run the dolly over,
the wheels will sink into the grass without them, Thanks for watching, John
@@DeanSafe Got by with out that grass was not that wet :)
