Not sure who to call, but I would look up riggers. They can handle the heavy stuff. Probably not cheap, but is is what they do for a living.

You don't want the low bidder( no insurance ) or what's left of him found underneath your safe at the bottom of those stairs .

If you are going to rent a machine get a telehandler not a fork lift.
A telehandler depending on your door width could put the safe into the house |

Per Liberty, the door usually weighs about 1/2 of the safe. Remove the door, move it separately, you will find it is a whole lot more of a manageable operation.

I have no problem doing it if it can be don't and doesn't void the warrenty. I'll call them and get details. |

I'd go +1 on the Tele-handler.
At the very least get/rent and Appliance Dolly AND movers blankets. Make sure the floor, steps, and pathway are solid enough to handle not only the weight of the safe, but the combined of it and three or four big ol' corn-fed MF's Nothing like that creaking sound preceded by a very audible "snap" you hear before the floor gives way.
