Need a safe moved around Dallas Acworth area

[Ballplayer]

Here's one for you to try, contact a company that places vaults for funeral homes after the grave is dug, they'll have a truck mounted apparatus (overhead beam)that can lift and place heavy objects. Some are owned by funeral homes too, our local funeral home owns both the truck and backhoes and hire out their labor doing commercial work to help make payments on the equipment. Just an idea, maybe it'll help.

Already tried that route. Told them my hoe wouldnt budge it and they said that kind of weight would just crumple their rig. Same thing with septic tank and pipe trucks.

yep, trailer with a lift and winch.

Calling professionals would be too easy for this job. I say drink a few beers and try the backhoe again. Jobs like these call for creativity!

Yeah, I'm with you most of the time. This safe has some glass relockers in it that are designed to break if someone drills the door. So it will require some small degree of finesse. I got bigger equipment but not with rubber tires. How big a Bobcat you got? I got a trailer i can move it on if I could lift it. All the sensible routes; renting a ****ing crane... Would be cheaper to buy a new one but it cant stay where it is anyway. I guess it could stay but all my stuff fits in this one and its paid for.

Lighten the load and remove the doors, make multiple trips, re-set them when its placed ????

Guesstimating here but
Say each door weighs 1000lbs so -2000 still got 6000lbs
drop a door and glass breaks door is worthless $2000 replacement
Bend a hinge= door is worthless
Still got a 6000lb box to deal with after doors are off

I promise I tried to figure this one out before coming to the ODT for help

Put it in the "free" section of Craigs List, those jokers love free stuff & will move anything, once they get it loaded buy it back from them and have then to deliver it for you.

I have a Mustang MTL16, about the equivalent of a Bobcat T200. With the rubber tracks on it, it will pick up a lot more than a rubber tire machine. It would only need to lift it an inch and just drive up on and off the trailer with it. I would think a large bobcat (T300 or MTL20) would move it. I didn't know about the glass though. If it could tilt it back onto the forks a little, might work.

How was it originally moved?

Nice! Like i said, no wandering eyeballs. Last thing I need is a bunch of tweekers wondering whats under the sheets. Youre right though, if I put it up for free it would be moved in 10 minutes. Van full of scab pickers shows up and away she goes.

Dude had a special rollback with rollers and about two miles of rope rigging. Slid it right onto the basement floor and moved it with a monster pallet jack. I been trying to remember how to get in touch with him but my memory has taken a beating in 15 years.
