Especially if you are in a profession that an injury might keep you out of your regular job and result in no pay for you for a while. That said, if you move it yourself, remove the door. That is the majority of most safes' weight. Heavy duty appliance/safe dolly is good. What works real well is a pallet jack. Open up the safe and use the door to tip the safe forward so you can get a block under it so the forks will slip under later. Then use the pallet forks to lift the door up and off the safe. I moved a safe one time with my wife who had just had a baby 5 days previous. I had to lower the safe down off a trailer 3 feet high. I used a block and tackle attached to a dolly and my wife belayed the safe down with it as I held onto and controlled the dolly as we came down the ramp. Would work for lowering down stairs as well, IF you have a good anchor point at the top of the stairs. Last edited by Tarkio; 12/26/12. Montana MOFO
