600+ lb gun safe on 2nd story house or on crawl space main floor?

The safe company sent a moving crew to look at my house (built during the depression) to see if the safe I wanted would go on the second floor. They told me it would eventually end up in the basement! It went in the garage.

I have my safe on a floor over a crawl space and no issues. When I moved, however my plan was to put my safe in the “bonus room” over our Garage. The moving company wouldn’t move it up the stairs no matter how hard I tried to persuade. It’s still downstairs but I still want to relocate it upstairs - I think it will make it!
Contact your local safe dealer,, they have walking dollies.and should move it for a couple hundred bucks.

Look into renting a “piano dolly” locally. Comes in two pieces, each with wheels and levers to put its wheels under both sides of a safe. As long as the floor’s level & flat you can move it anywhere you want to by yourself... but certainly not up or down stairs.

I rented one last year when I wanted to insulate / drywall / paint the wall behind where my safe sits.
