How It Works

HOW IT
WORKS

1

Safe Assessment

The first thing we need to know is weight, dimensions, and location. A 200-lb gun safe requires different equipment than a 1,000-lb vault. Tell us the make, model, or approximate weight, and where it currently sits — floor level, on a pad, in a closet — and what's at the destination.

2

Heavy-Duty Equipment Preparation

We arrive with the right dollies for the job — heavy-duty appliance dollies, stair-climbing dollies when needed, and heavy straps rated for the weight of your safe. Floor protection is laid throughout the entire move route before anything moves.

3

Safe and Controlled Movement

We never rush a safe move. The process is methodical — safe is secured to the dolly, team coordinates movement, and every step is controlled. Safes are never tilted beyond what's safe for the locking mechanism.

4

Precise Placement at Destination

Safes are heavy enough that placement matters — once it's where you want it, moving it again is a project. We confirm the exact position with you before setting it down, level it if needed, and verify it's operational before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions

SAFE MOVING FAQ

  • Safe moving costs depend on the weight and size of the safe, the number of floors or stairs involved, and the distance. Every quote is upfront and binding. Call (212) 484-1095 for a free safe moving estimate — we'll ask about weight, dimensions, and staircase access to give you an accurate number.
  • We move safes of virtually any weight. Residential gun safes commonly range from 200–1,200 lbs. Commercial vaults can exceed that significantly. We bring the appropriate crew size and equipment for the specific weight — nothing is handled by guesswork.
  • Yes. We use heavy-duty stair-climbing dollies specifically designed for safe transport. We assess the staircase width, angle, and length before quoting to confirm the right equipment. Multi-floor safe moves are standard for our team throughout Queens and NYC buildings.
  • Yes — strongly recommended for two reasons: it significantly reduces weight, and it protects your valuables during transport. Contents should travel with you, not locked in a safe on a moving truck. Jewelry, documents, firearms, and cash should all be removed before move day.
  • We transport a safe after it's been extracted from its installation. Floor and wall safe removal requires a qualified locksmith or safe technician. We can coordinate referrals for qualified technicians in Queens and Nassau County who specialize in safe extraction.
  • Floor protection is standard on every safe move. We use heavy-duty floor runners, plywood bridging for sensitive floors, and corner guards on all doorways. We've moved safes through Manhattan co-ops and Nassau County homes with hardwood floors without a single scratch.
  • Yes. Commercial vault moves require advance planning — assessing floor load limits, building access, freight elevator capacity, and truck positioning. We conduct a site survey before quoting any commercial vault relocation.
  • We move all residential and commercial safe types: gun safes, long gun safes, pistol safes, fireproof document safes, burglary-rated floor safes, wall safes (after extraction), and commercial vaults of all sizes.
  • Yes. Long-distance safe transport from Queens and Nassau County to out-of-state destinations is available. Safes are loaded last, braced against movement, and secured throughout transit.
  • Yes. All safe moves are fully insured. If the safe contains extremely high-value contents, those items should be removed and covered under your homeowner's or renter's insurance policy during transit.
  • Same-day safe moves are available based on crew and equipment scheduling. Call (212) 484-1095 to check current same-day availability. Smaller residential safes are more likely to be accommodated same-day than commercial vaults requiring site surveys.
  • Empty the safe completely, confirm stair and doorway dimensions in advance for very large safes, reserve elevator access if applicable, and clear a path from the safe's current location to the exit. Let us know the make, model, and weight when requesting your quote.
