Safe Moving Services in the Triangle
Equipped for Your Heaviest Items
While my team and I love a good laugh, we take the physics of moving high-security safes very seriously. Safe moving isn't just about strength; it's about using the right technical tools - like heavy duty appliance dollies and specialized neoprene floor runners - to protect your property from structural damage or surface scratches. We understand these aren't just heavy boxes; they are anchors of your homes security. From navigating a tight driveway in Wake Forest to protecting custom hardwood floors in a Cary estate, we prioritize a perfectly paced, controlled, and damage-free process so you can stay focused on the rest of your move.

The Real Deal on Moving Your Heavy Duty Safes
I know that handing over your home's most secure asset to a moving crew can feel a little nerve-wracking, so I want to be completely upfront about how we handle the heavy lifting. From how we protect your floors in Apex to the specific equipment we bring to a Raleigh move, these answers are here to give you peace of mind before our truck even pulls into your driveway. My goal is to make sure your only surprise on moving day is how easy we made the whole process look!
Do I really need a professional to move my safe?
Technically, you only need a pro if you value your toes and subfloors! Most home safes weigh between 400 and 1,000 pounds, which is enough to crack tiles or dent hardwoods if the weight isn't distributed with professional floor runners and specialized dollies. My team has the equipment and the 'know-how' to handle the heavy lifting so you don't end up with a DIY desaster.
How do you protect my home during the move?
We treat your house like it's ours because we want to keep being invited back to the neighborhood! We use heavy-duty floor protection and carpet-treated dollies that allow us to make tight turns without leaving a single scuff mark behind and padded moving blankets to protect the item and your walls. From Wake Forest to Apex & Knightdale areas, our goal is for the safe to move, but your floors to stay exactly as they are.
Do you move gun safes or just fire safes?
We handle both, along with jewelry safes and commercial-grade security chests. From a tall Liberty gun safe to a heavy fire-rated security safe, we bring the specific straps and padding required to keep the exterior prristine. We just ask that you have emptied and bolted-down hardware remvoed before we arrive so we can get stright to the heavy lifting. Especially if you do have firearms/ammunition inside your safe. Please be sure to remove these items and transport them yourself.
Why is there a specialty fee for moving a safe?
Moving a safe isn't a standard 'box-and-truck' job; it requires a specialized crew and expensive, heavy-duty equipment. This fee covers the specialized dollies and the additional time/effort we take to prep your home and move the safe. Some larger safes may require more crew members, as well. It's an investment in making sure a thousand-pound object doesn't become a permanent (and accidental) part of your staircase.
Can you move my safe up or down stairs?
We certainly can. but we need to know the 'flight plan' in advance. Moving a safe on stairs requires extra muscle and specific safety rigging to ensure the weight is always under control. Please let us know the number of steps and if there are any landings so we can bring the right gear for the job.
Do I need to be there while your move the safe?
I always prefer you or a trusted adult be on-site to confirm the final placement. Once a safe is settled into its new spot in your Wake County home, you aren't going to want to move it again anytime soon. We want to make sure you are 100% happy with where it sits before we pack up our gear.
