64 Gun safe

Tractor supply has one on sale. BUT!!!--- How do you move such a critter? I can move a 30 gun safe but never tried one as big as a 64 gun safe. Anyone ever moved one of these? How? What equipment? It will go on the second floor. Do I need to reinforce the floor?

My 19x24x60 safes weigh more than 600 lbs each. 450 isn't bad to move. Does the door come off? It is usually 1/3 the total weight.
 
Two people should easily be able to handle that. Be creative......boards with pipe or tubing. Lay boards down, put pipe on boards, tilt the safe back while pushing pipe under safe, push to get safe on top og pipe....then its a process of moving boards and pipe....like laying a railroad track. For steps and what not..... Use boards for ramps and a tow strap wrapped around the safe......you might be surprised at how much weight you can move.
 
You guys are reading too much into this.
I have one of the TS 64 gun safes. Empty weight 514 lbs.
Me and 2 of my neighbors moved it up my front porch stairs using atv ramps, swiveled it around through the front door and placed it where I wanted it to go.
All with a dolly. A regular everyday dolly with air inflated rubber wheels.
We used a motorcycle tie-down to strap it to the dolly.

I did exactly the same thing with a 25 cu ft Maytag refrigerator 2 years ago. Big heavy-ass french door thing...way harder to move than the safe and almost as heavy. Probably is close to that weight now loaded. Popped it down where the old fridge was and it still ain't crashed through the floor.

Yeah, going upstairs will be a project, and be sure the floor can handle it. But 500lbs is not something that requires an engineer and/or a crap load of rigging. Stone up, wear a back brace and just do it.

Those guys with the 2 and 3 thousand pound safes...now you got something to worry about.
 
I moved the same size safe years ago in my old house myself uses 1/2" pipe to roll it. Went from one end of a ranch to the other. Moved it last time with an appliance dolly and a couple friends. I've helped a couple friends move safes using a set of equipment dollies I have at work. Picture attached. I could probably make these available in the charlotte area if someone needs them.

My Field and Stream safe from Dick's Sporting Goods weighs about 500 pounds empty. One guy pulled it up the front porch stairs on an aluminum two-wheeled dolly and set it in my house. It's really not a very big deal.
 
If you are worried about a 500 pound safe falling through the floor, I don't want to walk into your house. with the right equipment, those aren't bad to move.
 
The one stipulation work had was that I wasn't to touch the safe until it was off company property. I could glance at it, but not touch. They didn't want any comp claims. I paid our vault movers $500 to move it from Hickory to Farmington and install it in the garage. It's not moving ever again. Money well spent I think.

3800lbs.

That's a nice safe man, Gut it, put in some fireboard, trick out the interior for the type of storage you need and you'll be set. May want to drill a small hole in the back or one side just big enough to pass an electrical cable through and maybe an ethernet or usb cable. You'll want a goldenrod or similar in there, and I know a lot of guys who have their home security system dvr in their safe. Looks like you could mount a small rack on the door beside the locker for some extra long gun space, or set that up for pistols.
