Just a thought: Prop the door open. A large c-clamp on each side near the top.
Two separate chains, each attached to a c-clamp, wrap one across the front, around a side, then around the back and past the other side. Attach to a come along hanging from the ceiling. Repeat for the other chain & clamp. To prevent something bad from happening, would you consider having a local millwright come out and do it for you? For the complicated thing like this with an element of danger, that is who a moving company would subcontract it out to. |

Heavy duty engine hoist? Block and tackle?

I would not take this on, unless there was a garage directly connected to the basement, like our lake house was in Missouri.

Perhaps that is not the one for you.

Better question is where are you putting it? Can your floor support 3600 lbs in a relatively small area, or are you going to have a sunroof in your basement?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Better question is where are you putting it? Can your floor support 3600 lbs in a relatively small area, or are you going to have a sunroof in your basement? That would be my concern. Even though your door is close to the edge of the floor joists, 3600lb is way too much weight for a small area of the room. Maybe if your safe was 10x10 with casters distributed throughout. But still, that’s a massive weight. Methinks that safe is going through the floor or at least doing some major damage. You’re surely not putting it down the stairs to your basement. Maybe through the stairs. |

The safe would be on a concrete floor and the basement is a walk out.

With a 800 lb gun safe this job would be fairly simple , With a 3600 lb commercial safe it is something else altogether. Might be time to pony up for a rigger.
If you rig up some contraption thinking it will be "good enough" and you miss the mark the result could be real bad |

People are killed every year messing with this stuff.
If you don't do it regularly, it's not safe to try. Many people get lucky, some do not. These aren't things that can be figured out by watching a Youtube video. |

As a person quite familiar moving around really heavy gear Id have to 2nd a1abdj If you don't already know how to safely do it AND have the proper rigging then you really need to hire a professional. 3,600# is no joke. |
