I have moved this safe 7 times, and for a while I delivered furniture for a company who sold as many safes as they did anything else. I say that to say that I am experienced, though somewhat out of shape and out of practice.
There are constantly comments about how hard it is to move a safe. It’s not easy, but it’s also not the nightmare that people make it out to be. I took pictures as I loaded. Unloading is much easier since gravity helps, but the unloading part is exactly the same as the loading part, only done in reverse. So here we go, end result is that the safe is in the back of my F150 and I did it by myself. Not bragging there, my kids wanted to help but I made a point of doing it alone just to keep them safe and out of the way. Another adult helping would have been very nice, but it’s not necessary.
Cannon safe, I forget what the count is supposed to be, the safe weighs about 500 pounds empty. Hobo freight straps, hobo freight dolly. Furniture dolly makes the job easier but it’s not worth renting one just for this.
