We use a standard dolly for gun safes weighing up to 1,000 pounds. This heavy-duty equipment is specifically designed for safe transportation and provides stability during the move. When stairs are involved, our stair climber dolly comes into play. This specialized equipment distributes weight evenly and allows us to safely navigate steps without damaging your walls, floors, or the safe itself.

Our gun safe movers are trained to assess each situation carefully. We measure doorways, hallways, and staircases before the move begins. This planning ensures we choose the right equipment and approach for your specific layout. Whether your safe is in a basement, upstairs bedroom, or ground-floor garage, we have the tools to handle it.

Safety is our top priority. It's important to note that BoxStar Movers' safe movers don't transport safes containing live ammunition. Prior to relocation, your firearms should be unloaded and stored separately. We also recommend removing any loose items, documents, or valuables from inside the safe. This reduces overall weight and prevents items from shifting during transport. Empty safes are safer to move and less likely to experience internal damage.

If you're unsure how to prepare your gun safe for moving, our team can provide guidance. We want your gun safe moving experience to be smooth from start to finish.

Several factors affect the cost of gun safe moving. Our pricing considers weight, dimensions, path complexity, distance, and number of stairs involved in the move.

• Weight matters most. Heavier safes require more specialized equipment and additional movers. A 300-pound safe moves differently than a 1,200-pound model.
• Stairs add complexity. Each flight of stairs increases the difficulty and time required. We use stair climber dollies for these situations, which affects the final price.
• Path obstacles count too. Tight corners, narrow doorways, and long carries from the truck to your home all impact the cost. We assess your specific situation to provide accurate pricing.
• Distance traveled. While most gun safe moves are local, longer distances between properties affect fuel costs and time.

To give you an idea, starting rates for the smallest safe begin at $450 (approximately 300-400 lbs., no steps or stairs). Mid-size safes (600-800 lbs.) typically range from $600-$800. Larger safes (1,000+ lbs.) with stairs can exceed $1,000.
