Moving heavy safes require a very specific set of skills, and it is always advised to be done by a professional in the industry. While it is sometimes possible for furniture movers or customers themselves to move a safe, it is not the safest option. Amateur moving of the safe can cause detrimental damage to the safe itself, people around it, as well as the environment, it is only a matter of time before an accident occurs if safe manoeuvring is not done by a professional safe removalist. 

Security safes are generally very heavy in size, which makes it a great challenge to move around, and requires the attention of safe removal specialists. A good quality safe such as the Falcon Anchor Safe AC2 weighs 450kg. The weight of a safe is one of the most crucial factors contributing to the security level of the safe. 

The most challenging part of the relocation job is moving safes up or down the staircase. They will need the assistance from an elevator expert on site to adjust the breaks as needed, and they will need to fully assess the elevator in preparation to ensure it is capable of carrying the weight of a safe. 

It is always wise to check the credentials of the safe removalists you hire. If you decide to hire an unlicensed safe mover, you will have no way of knowing if the mover you hire actually have a long list of criminal background, and you’ll be risking disclosing the information on where the safe is, and the fact that you have valuables stored in the safe. There’s nothing stopping them from swinging back when you’re not home, to steal your valuable possessions.
