I bought a 650 pound safe at Cabelas...............they loaded it into my truck and its now sitting in the garage

Anyone know a business that moves safes in Lake County?

I need it taken from the garage, and placed in the basement

I bought that Aide Rentals in Highland rented the electric stairclimber dollies that the safe movers use, but I don't see them on their website.  Might be worth a call.  http://www.indianaequipmentrental.com/index.asp

I used DB safes in Plymouth. They moved my safe from my garage and down to the basement with no issues. It was a very reasonable price as well.

Assuming it's not a walk-out basement get the stair-climber moving dolly and a few friends...

FWIW, I moved my cheapo (ammo safe) Sentry that weighs about 400 lbs by myself into my walk-out basement. I had them lay it down on it's back on card-board when they put it in the truck. I took the tailgate off, laid card-board over the bumper, slid it out to the balance point and carefully tippied it down then let it slowly slide to ground level by balancing it. Then I "walked" it into the basement, right through the door and into the room where it sits now.

I realize that it gets much harder as you go up in weight, but don't underestimate your ability to move something just by thinking it through.

I moved an 800lb Liberty with an appliance dolly and 2 buddies. It can be done.

FWIW, just this past week we (dad, brother, myself) moved a 3,000 lb TL-30 safe with nothing more than a pallet jack and fork-lift... but it would have been a much more difficult job if steps were involved. You don't move those up/down steps easily...

What size silica cans are you guys using?

Great selection and great prices all over Ebay

I see they are rated in "gram" sizes

750 grams does a 57 cubic feet area

450 grams does a 33 cubic feet area

They have 300 gram bags, 400 gram bags, etc

I believe my safe is 60.5"H x 36"W x 25"D
