-
anywhere in town rent these? need to move a safe
Your question begs Us to ask the Question
Which Town ?
-
I do safe moving. Lincoln. PM me.
-
Are you going up or down a set of stairs?
66bigblock
-
Bellevue, no stairs just the threshold step and the step off the porch. Living room to garage.
-
No one? The metro is confusing, it has everything but it doesn't.
-
If the usual rental places don't have one, try Logan Contractor Supply on about 65th & L St. in Omaha (402) 339-3900.
-
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.
-
nope
-
Do you guys call these things by a different name out here?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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. :o good thing like 5 guys showed up.
-
You may have already figured this one out... if it has outside hinges, take the door off and move it separately.
-
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.
