Probably not so much a safe thread as “how heavy is too heavy for a safe not to be safe?” and belongs in a home building/structural engineering forum.
Saw a safe on Marketplace. It apparently weighs 4,000 pounds (67x31x31). A safe moving company indicated a minimum $1,000 to move it. It would be safe basement floor, but the stair stringers I’m guessing would have to be buttressed to make sure any staircase doesn’t collapse.
Unless I could get it in (and out) of my basement for free, this would not be moving to my basement. Certainly wouldn’t put it on my main floor.
Anyone out there have something as insanely heavy for storage?
