Moving Safes? We’re Here to Help
Quick Disclaimer
Please note that we are full service household movers that can also move safes that weigh under 600 pounds. While we can move “just a safe” please know that the two hour minimum will still apply and that we do not have special hourly rates for one item.
Weight Limits
At 3 Men Movers, we do not charge extra for overweight and specialty items like safes that are 300lbs or less. The safe is simply treated as a furniture item.
3 Men Movers are experienced, safe movers. Things to keep in mind when moving a safe with 3 Men Movers:
- Safes under 300lbs have no additional charges.
- For a safe between 300-600 lbs, we will charge $100 per flight of stairs that you
request us to move it up or down. - We are only equipped to move safes that weigh up to 600 lbs.
Please note that it is the mover’s discretion to make a professional analysis of your move. When our movers arrive at your location, the team of movers will make a professional judgment on whether or not they are equipped to move the safe. Moving heavy items require specialized equipment, extra labor, and there are liability charges. With 3 Men Movers, the only surprise you will experience is how easy we make your move.

After researching and vetting several moving companies, I'm glad we chose 3 Men Movers. They delivered great service at a great value. Wee needed same-day pack and move for a 1-bedroom apartment. Dora and her team of packers arrived right on time at 8 AM and packed everything quickly and carefully. Salvador and his crew took over, moving everything efficiently and were very professional. Norma coordinated the entire process seamlessly including easy payment through Zelle. Everything was complete around 2 PM without issue. Highly recommended!

Anthony (“Murillo”) and his crew were super efficient! They get things done fast and did not waste a single minute. He was on time and very communicative via text messages. We had a total of 4 stops for my move (all locally) and traffic was bad that day but they were able to get things done in 3 hours. Definitely will use them again for my next move.

Joe and his crew were fantastic. They showed up on time and got busy. They were very careful with my stuff, they were polite and extremely hard working. After packing my house into the truck, they even went and grabbed everything from storage before heading to the new house. I would definitely use these guys again! This was a great crew to work with.

Your whole company is a dream to work with. This is the 7th time I’ve used 3 men movers and they never disappoint! Today I almost hired a handyman to help me until I became uneasy due to his lack of professionalism. So I called 3 Men Movers to inquire about moving heavy items up and down my townhouse. It was easy to book, service was superb! Thank you again for helping me set up my life!

I recently hired 3 Men Movers for a big move, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their service! From the start, the booking process was straightforward and stress-free. The team led by Jr. Rangel arrived right on time, and their professionalism was evident from the moment they stepped through the door. The movers were efficient, friendly, and handled all my belongings with the utmost care. They made sure to carefully wrap fragile items and navigate through tight spaces without a scratch. It was clear they were experienced and worked seamlessly together, making the whole process go smoothly. They also went the extra mile, providing helpful advice on how to set up my new place and even assisting with a few extra tasks that I hadn’t anticipated. The entire move, from start to finish, was completed faster than I expected, and at a reasonable price considering the quality of service. If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and efficient moving company, I highly recommend 3 Men Movers. They made a potentially stressful experience feel easy and hassle-free. Definitely a 5-star service!
Our Safe Moving Process
Pre-Move Communication
Our experts will build out as much detail as you can provide to give our moving crews an idea of what they should expect as well as what you should expect. Including:
- A personalized confirmation of details about the rates, the move crew selected and reserved, who will be contacted the day before the move and on move day.
- An emailed checklist of pre-move specific things to take care of before move day.
- A call or text the day before the move, confirming the move, start time, and an introduction to the crew lead
Crew Arrival And Pre-start Walk Through
The selected crew arrives on time, in uniform, with a clean 3 Men Movers truck and all supplies/tools necessary to do the move. Our crew lead will walk through your space with you to:
- Introduce the crew
- Determine where the closest stairway or elevator will be
- Determine what is being moved
- Check items for pre-existing damages and note
- Check for items that require waiver signatures (washer/dryer disconnect, moving televisions, etc)
- Determine what needs to be disassembled and reassembled during the move
- Confirm the rates and estimate and have you sign the contract
Move Preparation And Protection
Once the crew leader has performed the walk through, then we prep the building, and your belongings to prevent damages and make executing the move easier for the crew, including:
- Protective runners to prevent damage to flooring
- Shrink wrap for furniture fabrics
- Moving blankets to cover hard surfaces and prevent items from rubbing together during transit
- Tools to properly disassemble/reassemble furniture/other items
Execute Loading The Truck
This is where we shine. You’ll appreciate the care, efficiency, and hustle that our movers exhibit throughout your move. Typically one of the three movers is focused on loading the truck itself, while the other 2 movers are focused on bringing belongings from the house to the truck. This accomplishes the following:
- Our movers load the truck in a manner that makes the best use of space, which will both prevent damage and reduce the possibility of a second trip
- A mover in the truck adds a level of security to prevent theft
Second Walk Through
Once we’ve emptied your space of all belongings that will be moved, our crew will perform another walk through with you to determine:
- All of your possessions to be moved are accounted for
- We make sure that we have all of our tools and equipment back on the truck
- If we’re ready to travel to your destination location
Destination Walk Through
When we arrive at your destination, our crew leader will walk with you to determine where your possessions are to be placed and arranged. Then our crew will:
- Begin the process of protecting floors
- Unload your belongings per placement direction
- Reassemble any furniture necessary
- Remove any shrinkwrap or move materials used during the move
Final Walk Through And Completion
Once we’ve finished unloading the truck, we perform one final walk through to make sure:
- Items are placed in rooms and spots per your wishes
- We’ve cleaned up any packing materials used during the move
- We’ve reassembled anything taken apart during the process
- If we’ve used any elevator equipment, that it’s clean and ready for next use
- You’re happy with the finished product
After completing the final walk through, our crew leader will stop the clock, provide you the details of total hours worked and the final bill for the services completed. You pay and we all get to relax, knowing that the heavy lifting is done!
If you really want to relax, you can book one of our packing/unpacking service crews and rest while we take care of everything.

Introduction to Safe Relocation
Moving a heavy safe requires more than just muscle—it demands experience, planning, and the right tools. Safes are not only bulky and heavy but often delicate, making DIY moves risky. That’s why hiring professionals is the smartest approach.
Professional safe movers understand the complexities of transporting these large units. Whether installing a new safe or relocating an old one, they ensure a smooth, secure process from start to finish.
Why Hire Professional Safe Movers
Professionals are trained to handle heavy items like safes with care and precision. Their experience allows them to navigate tight spaces, stairs, and tricky layouts while minimizing the risk of damage.
With expert movers, you also avoid the physical strain and potential injuries that can come from moving such large items. Their goal is safety, both for your property and everyone involved.
Equipment and Tools for a Safe Move
Reliable movers come equipped with tools like heavy-duty dollies, lifting straps, and ramps. These make it easier to move a safe safely and efficiently, especially through challenging areas.
They also use padding and protective materials to prevent damage during transit. With the right gear in place, even multi-floor moves can be handled without issue.
Planning and Preparation Steps
Before the move, it’s essential to assess both the current and final locations. Professionals need to know about stairs, narrow hallways, or other obstacles to plan the best route.
Clear the path and remove any valuable contents from the safe. Communicate special instructions or services—like white glove or curbside delivery—so the movers can fully prepare.
Secure, Stress-Free Relocation
By confirming all details ahead of time—such as the move date, equipment needed, and services requested—you reduce the chances of delays or complications. The right team ensures everything runs smoothly.
Professional movers offer peace of mind. From pickup to final placement, they handle every aspect of the move, ensuring your safe is relocated securely and efficiently.
