anywhere in town rent these? need to move a safe

Your question begs Us to ask the Question

Which Town ?

[Gary]

I do safe moving.  Lincoln.  PM me. 

[66bigblock]

Are you going up or down a set of stairs?

[dukduk]

Bellevue, no stairs just the threshold step and the step off the porch. Living room to garage.

[dukduk]

No one? The metro is confusing, it has everything but it doesn't.

[FarmerRick]

If the usual rental places don't have one, try Logan Contractor Supply on about 65th & L St. in Omaha (402) 339-3900.

[dukduk]

Thanks I'll call in the am, dang maybe I'll buy one and rent it out. Wonder what kind of liabilities are involved? I'll have a gps tracker so no one makes off with it.

[dukduk]

nope

[dukduk]

Do you guys call these things by a different name out here?

[Gary]

I own more safes than I care to think about at moving time.  I do all the moving myself, with my own tools.   I own a Johnson bar, a stair climbing heavy object floor dolly, a crane scissor lift that will put a 750 pound safe in a second story window, and a few tricks I learned over the years.  I offered to help, but my time is worth something, and we do not live in the same town.  Let me know if I can help.

You want to borrow some tools, drive to Lincoln, drive them back again, free loan.  I will require a deposit equal to the items I see going out my driveway.

Gary i really appreciate the offer. I might take you up on it sometime if I can't find anything in Omaha.  The only time I ever have a reason to go to Lincoln is when my wife has ANG drill.

[Gary]

Does the safe have wheels?  Or a flat bottom? 

Flat bottom safes are easy to move about with a couple dozen golf balls.

If you only have one step, you can often times walk a gun safe up one step by tilting the safe back. 

Be safe, is my best advice.  If no one gets hurt and the job is done, that is your goal. 

[dukduk]

Flat bottom, the 2 steps are down or out of the house. The from door threshold and the concrete porch step. It's gonna be hairy. I paid two guys and a truck to haul it from Bennington to my living room almost $400 when I got it.  good thing like 5 guys showed up.

[FarmerRick]

You may have already figured this one out... if it has outside hinges, take the door off and move it separately.

[dukduk]

Mmm I think the door is too heavy to be taken off. Safe is 1125 lbs

 this is just a thought, but how about the carts for moving pianos

Jim's moving & delivery in Papillion moves a lot of safes. IIRC they charge about $90 to move one. The expense of renting a hand truck, and a trailer to haul it, will likely add up to that anyway.
