Gun Safe Movers in Pittsburgh and Washington County

Many do, and we do. We move a gun safe on its own as a single item job or as part of a full household move. If you are loading your own rental truck or container, our loading help crews can get the safe in and secured for you.

It varies a lot. Small home safes can be a couple hundred pounds, mid size gun safes often run several hundred, and large models can pass a thousand pounds. The maker usually lists the weight on the label, in the manual or on its website. Tell us the brand and model when you call so we can plan the right way to move it.

Yes. Stairs are most of the job. The safe is strapped to a heavy duty dolly and moved one step at a time, with a mover controlling it from below and above. Going down is the riskier direction, so we take it slow, protect the treads and plan where the safe can rest on each landing.

Yes, and it is one of the most common requests we get. Measure the basement door and look at the turn at the top of the stairs, then send us photos. One customer had us take a 650 pound gun safe down to his basement and set it right where he wanted it.

Yes. We only move empty safes. Take out every firearm, all ammunition and anything else stored inside, such as jewelry, cash and papers. An empty safe is lighter and safer to move, and the shelves and contents cannot shift and damage the door or the lock on the way down the stairs.

No. You keep and transport your own firearms and ammunition, which is the common practice among movers. Plan to carry them in your own vehicle on moving day. Our guide to moving firearms and ammunition covers what to know before you go.

Yes. We lay floor protection along the path, pad door frames and wrap the safe in moving blankets before it moves. A heavy safe on a dolly can mark hardwood or vinyl fast, so the protection goes down first and comes up last.

You can, but it is one of the riskiest DIY jobs in a move. A safe that tips on the stairs can hurt someone, crack the treads or punch a hole in drywall. If you want to try, read our guide on how to move a gun safe first.

Yes. We pick up new safes from stores such as Tractor Supply, Harbor Freight and Cabela's and bring them to your home. Let us know the store, the model and the room you want it in.

Yes. We are registered with FMCSA for interstate household goods moves, so your safe can travel with the rest of your home on our long distance moving service. It is strapped and tied down in the truck the same way it would be on a local move.

All of Pittsburgh, strongest in the South Hills, and all of Washington County, including Washington, Canonsburg, McMurray, Peters Township, Bethel Park, Upper St. Clair and Mt. Lebanon. We also cover nearby West Virginia and Steubenville, Ohio. We move Monday through Saturday.
