I moved my 710 pound safe into the basement of our previous house by myself. The house had a landing off the back door with a few steps up to the kitchen and several steps down to the basement. I dollied the safe to the landing and parked it. I placed a two inch section of steel pipe across the doorway to the kitchen and using a coffin hoist (a chain come along capable of very heavy lifting) connected to the pipe, let the safe down with the coffin hoist. I used some heavy nylon straps around the safe and padded the stair side of the safe with carpet. It really was simple and safe. Once in the basement I used the dolly again to position the safe where I wanted it. It sure beat grunting and groaning and fighting with all that weight.
