Stack of shipping blankets on truck. Not one used. The two dead vatos pushing the safe up a questionable capacity ramp. The paint left on the concrete from sliding the safe on the ground.
You dont pad a safe before you move it. Pad Makes it slippery to handle. once in the truck you put one pad between the wall and the safe if you care about scratches on the back. Now The stacks of pads are for when you fill up the entire truck with Furniture not when you’re moving one safe. Ramp should be rated for at least 1,000 lb.
It's good to remember that all safes were not created equal. A top of the line Browning safe can weigh over 1,600 lbs, quite different from the run-of-the-mill 500 lb safe.
Good video Observation and Suggestion Please be careful with your weight limits -- most ramps with that design have a maximum weight limit of 1000 lb with that said it looks like you had at least 1200 lb on it at a given time. With something that heavy yet that compact I believe the best piece of equipment to move that onto the truck without use of the ramp would be an engine hoist. Secondly if you didn't want to use the engine hoist you can use an electric come along to tow it up the ramp with less danger and less weight on the ramp
Ok, few things I see wrong here!!! 1st: Did not pad the Safe for the customer! 2nd: Did not Secure the Safe to the Dolly with straps! 3rd: You need a lift gate or trailer for large gun safes, it's too risky to use a ramp for safes over 500lbs. Lastly and most important is Buy the proper equipment! You need the Roll and Carry Dolly for this!
I love when people try to tell a professional how to do their job they did a great job they got that safe in the truck and moved with the tools they had available good job guys!!
Not the professionals i would hire. Sliding a safe on concrete, not blankets, didn't strap the cart, depending on 3 people's backs. Sorry guys your not moving my safe.
Walter Kiel thanks for your comment, but now we got a new dollie to moves safes safer for the guys wait for my next video and thank you again for your support
Good job, pretty hard on the body - that job. You never see women's rights activist groups fighting for equal gender representation when it comes to: moving jobs, construction, demolition, plumbing, heavy duty mechanics, electricians............ Can you imagine a couple of 130 lb women trying to do that job?
I was contemplating on paying $525 to delivery and move a new safe up 3 steps into my house, and down 15 steps to the basement.. I'm glad I just paid the money. It is a 600lb safe so not the heaviest, but definitely heavy enough. I don't understand people who put safes in garages.. that is the easiest way to steal them in addition to knowing someone has a safe.
It looks like you guys work hard and do a decent job. The proper tool for that job is a liftgate. Just look at the bow on that walkboard. At best that's a 1000 lb. capacity board- if it has the two clip on hooks at the top those are even rated for less. Fiberglass or aluminum walkboards don't bend- they will pop, and fold up. 800 lbs. of safe dropping a couple of feet is not something you want on your employee or your conscience. I've been at this a while and it's not really a "lol" matter. You don't show up with a mule and wagon- go prepared to do the job safely and professionally and people will pay for your expertise. I wish you luck and prosperity!
you right about that , we do have a liftgate in one of our other trucks but this was a same day job and the other truck was somewhere else. Thanks for your comment :)
Awesome a video on how to have back problems and possibly die at work! Just what I was looking for!!! You guys know they make time that would take most of the work out of this right? Why do things the hard way when you can just get a dolly made for this and a lift gate on the truck?
You can bolt them to the floor with concrete anchors, through holes drilled in the bottom of the safe. And to be honest, there is absolutely no full proof way to keep your guns from being stolen. It all depends on how determined the theifs are.
@@deathfromabove2250 in a basement , with 2 cane corsos and a top notch security system is one way. If you get past the security and then 2 150lb dogs, then somehow have time to break into the safe, then you must be Superman himself.
This is why you hire people who deliver safes for a living to move your safe. These guys need to stick to moving furniture. I've been delivering safes for 3 years and have seen numerous safes damaged from house moving companies.
It will pay for itself if you’re using it daily. Safety first. Make your daily job easier 👍worth the investment. You can do more complicated jobs and not limited
Well you guys got it done so keep it up. Practice makes a man great! My main thing is you all could have scrapped it to the four wheel so it wouldn't move at all and last put a pad on the bottom so it won't scrape the ground.
If by “hand dolly” you are referring to a two wheel dolly I would not advise that. Its is Too much weight on the person pull it up the ramp backwards. Much better to have all the weight on the wheels and they have the weight in someone’s arms when you’re trying to go up in incline And if your foot slip out you’re gonna slide under it believe me I know
No the dolley should have been on the other side to easily drop the safe onto it and a dolley strap not in place......and no one with steel cap boots. The protection against scratches would have been better this way.
Moved one that weighed 4000 lbs the other day....used two lifts that were made to move safes and a truck with a lift gate....don't attempt moving a giant safe people !!!! CALL A REAL PROFESSIONAL!!!!
I make the mistake of hiring some movers like this that think they can just muscle things around. I told them that my safe weighed 1600 lbs, so they would need a lift gate. But noooo... They came without that sort of truck and then tried to move it by hand. They laid it on it's side like in this video and the nail / staples / whatever end up making large gouges in my paint of my safe all the way down into the metal. If you are going to hire someone to move something, hire someone who knows what they are doing. Every time since then, I have moved the safe myself, without any help other than someone to swap the rollers out from the back to the front. It takes a bit longer to use *technique*, but it does not damage your property and it is less dangerous.
Rollers, huh. Appliance dolly, 4 wheeler and hump strap.. Move them all the time with no damage. The only thing I agree with is not using a ramp but a lift gate. Plus, I doubt you're lifting a 1600 lb safe by yourself off those rollers. PVC or metal?
@@Jblaze024 -- I've used both PVC and steel pipe for rollers... I've also used golf balls... You only need one person to do the moving, but it definitely speeds things up if you have another person to move the rollers from the back to the front as you go across the floor... The step coming into the house takes a bit more time since you need to use various diameter rollers and concrete blocks to make for a gradual stepping slope so that you are not going up an actual inclined ramp. Getting it off the rollers is not too much trouble... You work you way down to either 3/4" or 1/2" sched-40 PVC (or steel) for the rollers and have them parallel to the wall that you are pushing the safe against... You decrease the number of rollers so that the safe can tilt back towards you on the roller closest too you when you have positioned it against the wall. Then you open the safe door and position it at 90 degrees to the body of the safe. This will plant the bottom edge of the safe closest to you firmly on the floor. You then put your weight on the safe door which acts as a lever to take the weight off the nearest roller. Once it is off the roller, you have someone else remove the rollers from underneath the safe and you allow the safe to tilt back and sit flat on the floor. Take your time and think about what you're doing and you won't hurt yourself. If you are trying to muscle it, you're doing it wrong. If you are going across carpet, it helps to lay down some plywood first so that you are not having to fight the fact that the rollers are sinking into the carpeting and the padding under the carpeting.
@@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire Thank you. Watched a few more of these guys videos. I admit I haven't moved a 1600 lb gun safe. I've done 700 at the most. But if I get a client that needs one like that moved; have your advice and these videos to help. Thank you again.
@@Jblaze024 -- Oh, one other thing that I forgot to mention that might help some people who read this later... If you are trying to get the safe that last inch or so next to the wall, a couple of 2x4 or 4x4 boards and a scissor jack helps. Use one of the boards against the opposite wall to distribute the force across the entire baseboard to minimize the chance it will damage the wall and then use the other board to go across the room until touches the bottom of the safe. The scissor jack is placed horizontally with its base against the board that is against the wall. I use a scissor jack because it can work in whatever position you put it in whereas some hydraulic jacks will only work when oriented in the vertical position. If you are not careful, it's entirely too easy to crush a finger between the safe and a doorway since even though the safe is fairly easy to move, it still has momentum and if you have a finger in the wrong place, it will hurt... Yeah, I learned that one the hard way... And you definitely do not want to use rollers that are so small that you need to reach underneath the same to reposition them. If that is the case, keep a piece wood or pipe that is thinner than the diameter of your rollers so that you can slide it under the safe to reposition the rollers.
Fail gonna end up in court and crippled no deffence guys. Get a tail gate just to dodgy even goit cargo load strap rail and you use cheapo straps joke. Should also chock. So not rubbing sides while driving.
Malcolm Peppiatt if you look and see that's the back of the safe ..Hello !!! If u ever need a safe Move don't hesitate to give us a call Malcolm .. Thanks
That's pretty dishonest to do something like that (using something and then returning it). And I would not use conduit pipes either. Schedule 40 steel pipe would work, but conduit might be a bit light unless you put a lot of them underneath it to distribute the weight. Schedule 40 PVC will work. I've used it for moving a 1600 lb gun safe without a problem. If you have a large bucket of golf balls, they also work.
No injuries and no damaged property; good job guys!
Just another day at the office.
I literally just bought a 500 lb safe thinking it was 300 lbs and I think your video just saved my life! Thanks!
Best video I have seen on how to simply move a large safe such as this one. Thank you so much!!!

You can put a support under the ramp
I’d think a winch on the truck would have made getting the safe on the truck and off easier. But you guys were heros!
Well worth it! paying a few big dudes a couple hundred bucks and save thousands in hospital bills, missed work etc, etc!
Ok, few things I see wrong here!!!

We'll post a new video with the right equipment this time ! Stay in touch and thanks for the tips :)
Ya. I surely would have straped the dolly to the side of the safe before I tipped it to the wheels.
And What is this dolly you speak of.
I love when people try to tell a professional how to do their job they did a great job they got that safe in the truck and moved with the tools they had available good job guys!!

You know you right ! I will keep your advise very serious so next time you'll see a liftgate . Thanks
I'm old, I worry about you kids! Take Care!
Thanks
I need to remove my too. I think I'm going to do one like that. Thank you. How wide is the wood so I know what size to build it???
You need a brace in the middle of that ramp to stop it flexing. Nice job tho!
you right about that , we do have a liftgate in one of our other trucks but this was a same day job and the other truck was somewhere else. Thanks for your comment :)

How professional 🤣
Lucky it worked. These 2 guys are huge risk takers with a wood dolly.
Indeed, The same H dolly i have has is only made for 600 lb
What professionals
Wow! Those vatos didnt even wrap it?
I wouldn’t keep safe in a garage. If someone could back their truck up and haul it out in 10 min or less if you are away for 30min or more.
You can bolt them to the floor with concrete anchors, through holes drilled in the bottom of the safe. And to be honest, there is absolutely no full proof way to keep your guns from being stolen. It all depends on how determined the theifs are.

Needs a hydraulic tailgate lifter easier then a ramp and more safer then ramp
Its Just that a lift gate cost thousands of dollars.

Do a few jobs and you get the money back for the tailgate loader haha
3:42 lol peace
Wellll not bad but not good. Use a hand dolly next time you will have more control make sure all hands are on deck.
Latarrius Mcgoy we will, thanks
Well you guys got it done so keep it up. Practice makes a man great! My main thing is you all could have scrapped it to the four wheel so it wouldn't move at all and last put a pad on the bottom so it won't scrape the ground.
But nobody can say anything bad because it was not damaged at all. so I say Good J.O.B
We sure will, thanks for the tips:)

Too funny
Sure it’s all ways easy, unless you have to take it up 30 stairs from the basement.
AG Havoc you're absolutely right 👍👍
You wont last long using just your upper body to move the safe. Using your lower body is the easiest way to move a safe
No the dolley should have been on the other side to easily drop the safe onto it and a dolley strap not in place......and no one with steel cap boots. The protection against scratches would have been better this way.
Rig up a winch for this! You doing it the hard way. Be smart. Have it welded to your truck. Much easier.
What do u mean?
Or don't be soft... it's on wheels it's not hard to push up a ramp...
That works until you get a safe that weighs 1000 pounds! That safe? 500 pounds tops :)
Moved one that weighed 4000 lbs the other day....used two lifts that were made to move safes and a truck with a lift gate....don't attempt moving a giant safe people !!!! CALL A REAL PROFESSIONAL!!!!
Maybe I should call some Mexicans to move it for me
