When you say 'decent size safe', what exactly does that mean? What's the weight and dimensions? Most moving companies will handle a typical home use safe, as long as it's empty. Depending on the layout, a sub 1/2-ton safe is relatively easy. If it's a commercial type safe and will require rigging or similar to remove and install, that's a different story. You would want to check companies that deal in heavy equipment relocation, such as DFW Movers.

Thank you for the response. I guess I was pretty vague. It’s approx. 72.5” x42”x28” and weighs around 1,100lbs. It’ll be on my moving truck and would need them to unload it and secure it down once inside the house.

That's a pretty common safe size for movers, but they won't secure it. Reach out to DFW Mover & Erectors. I have moved heavy machinery through them without issues. They deal in equipment 100 times that weight, so 1100 lbs should be a cakewalk if they're interested. It's NOT cheap!

Be sure and tell them if there are stairs involved. Most safes are on ground level, but dont let them just assume that. Which movers are you using from WA ?

Northwest safe. Bought from them and used them for every move. Buddy of mine is a safe tech there.

Our movers would not move my 900lb safe. I've used Cothron's safe & lock. Not sure if they go all the way up to Salado.

Egyptian method and some new buddies or hired help from Craigslist. I used a flatbed and two friends to move a 2300lb safe. You can borrow my 1/2 inch hammer drill to secure it into concrete. All pretty easy stuff

I’m thinking I may just rent a forklift and/or pallet Jack when I get there. Thank you all for the responses. I’m glad I joined the forum.
