Golf balls and get a crane. Crane is pretty cheap, 140 bucks is worth it.

My uncle works in large scale furniture moving (like entire casinos) in Vegas. I'll give him a text tomorrow and see if he recommends anyone for moving a safe that heavy.

I have a heavy duty appliance dolly you can use.
When you come to Vegas, please remember to bring my targets with you. As always, the door to Casa de Ishoot2live is open.

What can you guys tell me about the Las Vegas Gun Show ( http://lasvegasgunshow.com/xinfo.htm ). I always try to combine travel and shows that I can do as a vendor. Roughly how many tables at the shows, overall rep?

5000#? Don't even consider doing it yourself. That thing will kill someone if you lose control of it down the driveway. Think runaway truck!
Yeah, I'd definitely hire someone. |

My 4runner weighs 3800lbs. I think some of the heaviest duty furniture dollies only go up to 1500lbs. 5000 lbs is probably going to require hydraulics, a heavy duty pallet jack, and several people who know what they're doing. |

5000# is actually light, I've moved over 15,000# by hand on a level floor.
Easily moved on rented machine skates. Rent a toe-jack at the same time to lift it. You will need to find a large tool rental co. but that should not be hard in a major city. Use what used to be called "Common sense", tie-off and control movement. Will still cost around $200.00 plus deposit for the rentals. Not beyond the capacity of a medium forklift which you will need to set it on the trailer anyway, around $400.00 to rent. If the movers will do it for around $400.00 of less hire them. |

I've got an overhead crane to unload and store it with until I've got a proper location for it at my place. |

I had a friend try and lift a new empty water heater with a friend...2 guys. He pulled his bicep off his arm bone. I don't lift or try and lift anything anymore. I'm 47 and it's only gonna get worse. Hire a pro.

I know how "those things" can happen having torn my rotator cuff changing a flat tire on my camper. |
