Lot's of ways to get hurt moving heavy stuff... This is wise advice. I built two frames from 2 x 8 and positioned them underneath the stairs. One about a third the way up and the other two thirds the way up. My safe empty weighs near 2,000 lbs. I cut some 2 by 8's to act as runners down the stairs then layed heavy cardboard on them. I had an eye bolt screwed into the top of the safe and my buddy hooked his winch line to it. We we able to push the safe through the door on some pipes for rollers and he powered it down the stairs. When it got to the bottom we took the 2 x 8's and used them as levers to stand the safe back up on a pallet. Then used the pallet jack to move it to where I wanted it. It was truly a 4 man job. To do it again, if that ever happens, I'll hire it done. My new neighbors own a safe shop so I'm thinking he'll become my new best friend!
