There are many reasons to have a safe at home: to keep important documents, valuable items, or firearms. For personal use (including handguns), safes are usually small. But if you have a store or a business, safes are often much larger and heavier.
Don’t be fooled by their size. Safes are made of very dense and heavy materials to protect your belongings. If you try to move a safe in Montreal on your own, you risk serious injury. If it falls, you could damage the floor, the stairs, or even yourself—not the safe.
It is best to hire professionals to move a safe in Montreal, like Demenagement Total. They can help with a simple move from one room to another, within your home or business, or even delivery from the store where you bought it.
Gun Safe Move, Heavy Safe Move – We Do It All!
In a home, there are many types of small safes, and the safes on the market are as varied as your needs. A small safe, about the size of a microwave, can be bolted to the floor or the wall (like in some hotel rooms). It can store important documents, valuable items, or handguns, protecting them from theft and fire.
Even though these safes are small, they are still very heavy, which makes moving them difficult. Professional movers with experience in handling such objects are needed to move a safe to Montreal.
Moving a heavy, large safe to store long firearms or a bigger quantity of items, the job becomes even harder. In that case, it is very important to hire professionals to move your safe, like Demenagement Total.
Special Techniques and Moving Equipment For Safe Moving Services
Transporting safes in Montreal clearly requires the proper equipment to lift, transport the safe, and install it back into your home. Sometimes, the safe must be unbolted from the wall or floor to move it, and then bolted again in its new location. You need the right tools to secure the safe and must know how to use them because this is not the time to improvise to avoid damage to your safe or damage to floors.
A professional moving company who knows how to move a safe in Montreal will check the full path the safe will take. They will verify if the door frames are wide enough, if stairs need to be used (up or down), and what types of floor coverings are in the way. Depending on the safe’s size and weight, different protection techniques will be used to protect walls, floors, and door frames. Certain elements, like wooden staircases, can make moving the safe much harder or even impossible.
Disassembling and Assembling Safes in Montreal
Depending on the type of safe, our experts may need to remove some parts, like the door or interior shelves, to move a safe to Montreal. These pieces are removed to prevent damage during transport and to make the safe easier to handle.
The main safe and its detached parts are carefully wrapped by our professionals to protect them during transport. They are then reassembled carefully at the destination.
Please note that the weight of a safe makes moving it a challenging task. We have the staff, equipment, and trucks to handle most residential and commercial safe moves.
Preparations for Secure Safe Transport
Depending on how complex the safe move is, we will send two to six movers to move a safe in Montreal.
When you contact us, please have this information ready:
- the safe’s brand
- model of the safe
- safe dimensions (width, length, height)
- approximate weight of your safe
- its location
- is it built-in or bolted.
If needed, we can send one of professional safe movers to your location to assess the situation. After this, we will give you a complete quote to move the safe in Montreal.
Before the movers arrive, please empty the safe to make it lighter and easier to transport. If you have firearms in the safe, we cannot move them. If we need to remove the door or unbolt the safe, please leave the door open.
Our team uses a heavy-duty dolly for moving and can also position the gun safe securely to prevent any shifting during transport. We bring thick moving blankets to protect both your safe and your walls, ensuring a successful move every time. Hiring professional movers is the safest way to move your gun safe, especially if the contents of your gun safe are valuable or fragile. We also have a moving truck ready to relocate and get your safe into your home or business quickly and safely. Every safe requires careful handling, and our heavy-duty appliance dolly helps us transport even the heaviest models without damage.
