Chesterfield VA Moving Company, Moving a Gun Safe

Moving a gun safe can be one of the most strategic moving operations (besides moving a grand piano outside a window on the balcony like you see in the movies).  That’s why it’s critical that you hire an experienced Chesterfield VA moving company to handle this extreme task for you (and save your back). Besides that, here are some pointers if you wish to handle this operation by yourself (with family and/or friends):

How to Move a Gun Safe

Part of moving a large gun safe in Chesterfield, VA is preparing it for the move and having the right equipment available. Most importantly, you need to have a plan in place.  Once you feel that you are ready to start moving a gun safe, make sure it's closed, locked, and concealed. Wrap it in moving blankets to help protect against any possible damages that you may encounter during your move. You'll want to tape the blankets in place with a strong tape to prevent them from falling off.

 

With the help of your friends and/or family members, CAREFULLY tilt your safe and slip the 2 wheel (dolly) underneath its bottom. Make sure you secure the gun safe to the dolly with the straps or ropes before moving along your pre-planned path. If you are loading the gun safe onto the back of a moving truck, use a loading ramp to roll the dolly up.  The leverage of wheels on an incline is amazing.

Once the gun safe is in the truck, position it against the wall and securely strap it so it doesn't move during the ride. Whether your move is within your home or another location, reverse your steps to safely unload your gun safe and move it into its new space.

Conclusion

And wallah, there you have it: Hopefully you acquired all the necessary equipment and a strong group of friends, family, and/or professional Chesterfield VA movers to assist your gun safe move, and you’re feeling all but ready to load your gun safe so it may enjoy its new place. Make sure you remember these tips:
