Safe Moving in Montreal by Heavy Handling Expert Movers

Move A Safe to Montreal, South Shore or North Shore

Having a safe or a vault at home is useful to protect your assets. However, moving a safe in Montreal is not simple. It is much more complicated than transporting cardboard boxes. Attempting to move a unit this heavy requires great attention.

Moving your safe is a complex task. Why? Because a safe can weigh several hundred pounds. Even a small new safe can be difficult to lift. If you need to move the safe without help, you risk injuring yourself.

To safely move your goods and save your back, it is better to entrust your heavy safe to experts. Our professional safe movers in Montreal are the best way to go.

Why Moving Your Heavy Safe Requires Planning?

One cannot improvise with such weight. To ensure that the safe arrives intact, you need serious planning. Before the move, you must think of everything.

The moving process demands checking the path. Every detail counts: the width of the doors to accommodate the safe, the strength of the steps, and the type of floor.

A heavy safe can damage your home if it is mishandled. That is why our professional moving experts will always establish a clear plan before they start moving heavy safes.

Moving Equipment and Gear Adapted for Moving Large Gun Safes

To move the safe, arm strength is not enough. You must use specific tools to lift the safe. Our safe mover team uses modern moving equipment:

  • Specialized dollies: We use a heavy-duty appliance dolly (or appliance dollies) designed for the weight.

  • Protection: We use thick moving blankets to cover the safe and avoid scratches.

  • Securing gear: We use ratchet straps to lock the safe to the dolly.

To get the dolly underneath, we carefully tilt the safe. We ensure the bottom of the safe is protected. During transport, we secure the safe solidly in the truck so nothing can come loose during the move.

Cost and Preparation of a Secure Safe Move

You wonder about the safe moving prices? The cost depends on several factors:

  • The size and if it is a large unit like a gun safe.

  • The weight of your safe (some safes weigh around 500 lbs or more).

  • If we need to move it downstairs or upstairs.

  • The distance.

Heavy items like gun safes are expensive to replace. Opt for a secure service. If needed, we will send an expert to evaluate the weight of a gun safe and the situation. This allows us to give you a precise estimate.

Key Steps for a Safe Moving Process

Here is how each step unfolds with us:

  1. Evaluation: We check if the path is wide enough to accommodate the safe.

  2. Preparation: We wrap the safe to keep it scratch-free using a moving blanket.

  3. Action: We proceed to move the safe onto the truck using a dolly to move it.

  4. Delivery: We position the gun safe in Montreal or elsewhere.

Dos and Don’ts During Heavy Object Moving

TO DO:

  • Prepare the right tools: Ensure you have a dolly, ratchet straps, and furniture sliders.

  • Use the right technique: You may need to tilt the safe slightly to slide the dolly when moving a heavy unit. Always lift with your legs for safe safe lifting.

  • Work as a team: Never try to move it alone. It takes at least two people (or more) for gun safe moving.

  • Protect the floors: Use a slider underneath the safe. This protects your wood floor or carpet.

  • Call experts: Contact Déménagement Total. No item is too heavy for our professional gun safe movers.

NOT TO DO:

  • Do not overestimate your strength: Just because you lift weights doesn’t mean you can move your gun safe securely. The grip on the front of the safe is difficult.

  • Do not play the hero: A wrong move on stairs can break the object. Moving a heavy item is risky.

  • Do not drag anything: Never slide a heavy object directly on the carpet or wood. Using a dolly makes it much easier.

  • Do not stay alone: Do not be too proud to ask for help. A reliable safe mover makes it easier to move.

This requires trained technicians. It is imperative to hire a specialized safe mover to avoid injuries. Safe moving tips often recommend professionals for heavy items.
What is the average safe moving price in Montreal?
The price generally varies between $500 and $2000. It depends on how much the safe weighs and the complexity (stairs, appliance dollies needed).
Do you use a crane truck?
Yes. If needed, we use a crane. This reduces risks when attempting to move very heavy units.
Should I empty the content of the safe before moving?
Yes. To reduce the weight of the safe, it must be empty. If you need to move a gun safe, laws often require weapons to be transported separately. You should open the safe and empty it before we arrive.
How do you protect my floors during a safe move?
We use Masonite sheets and furniture sliders (or a slider) to distribute the load. We ensure the dolly has soft wheels to avoid damaging floors when the safe is moved.
