Moving a safe...

The cost of the Emergency Room visit for a friend who smashes his hand will make you wish you just paid the movers.

People die driving their own cars. Some folks like Ralph Nader always take public transportation and do not have a DL. I would rather drive myself.
My former vocation demanded I own safes to insure the safeguarding of other peoples property. I often had to move a safe for one reason or another. Changed locations, purchased an additional safe, etc.
You hire a safe moved, if the safe falls and hurts someone, the way the laws work, you get lawyers on your heals anyway, because you owned the safe and directed a agent you hired to move it.
Personaly, I think the fewer people involved in moving a safe, is the way to go. That requires tools. Truck, trailer, winch, come-a-longs, tie down straps, palets, pallet jack, Johnson Bar, bucket of golf balls, stair climbing heavy item mover.
Moving a smaller to medium sized safe a few feet from one house to another can be done easily one way or the other. Just be careful. I move safes by myself with no problems, and easier yet with a goofer to help move tools, open doors, etc.
I used to use come-a-longs to load safes on to trailers. One safe move, I had enough of the foul things, and went and purchased a 12,000 pound wench for the front of my truck. That item has proven to be very useful over the years.
Depending on the lay of the land, a safe can be moved easily from one place to another, with one person, two sheets of thick plywood (for grass or dirt), a Johnson Bar and a bucket of golf balls.

FWIW............
A safe located in your garage is often quite easy to steal.
All that's needed is to open the garage doors, back up a pickup truck to the safe, tilt the safe into the truck bed, push the safe further into the truck bed, and take off. Once the safe's center of gravity is on the truck bed, it's EZ.
As it happens, I've moved safes from garage to garage by myself in the same manner. Buying and selling. Used an SUV (bed is lower than a pickup) and totally surprised myself by being able to do it.
Much harder to get one out of the basement. That activity usually takes two strong lads pushing at the bottom and one even stronger one pulling on the dolly to get it up all 13 steps.
Like I said, FWIW.
