Safe & Gun-Safe Movers in New York, NY
Brute force does nothing against a packed gun safe or a heavy floor strongbox, so the crew bridges the threshold with a ramp, anchors all that weight onto a reinforced skate, and rolls it over tile, hardwood, or stairs while the floor stays clean.

Brute force does nothing useful against a packed gun safe or a heavy floor strongbox. Curtis Boone’s crew bridges the threshold with a ramp, anchors the weight onto a reinforced skate, and rolls it over tile, hardwood, or stairs while the floor stays clean.
Weight handled the right way
A loaded safe can run several hundred pounds concentrated on a small footprint — enough to crack tile or gouge hardwood if it’s dragged instead of rolled. We plan the path before anything moves.
How the crew protects your home
- Ramp bridges thresholds and single stairs
- Reinforced skate spreads weight evenly
- Floor runners protect hardwood and tile
- Stair turns handled with controlled tilt, same discipline as our piano moves
Pricing and scheduling
Safe moves are quoted from the unit’s weight and the path from its current spot to the truck, folded into your hourly rate starting at $149/hr. Tell us the model or approximate weight when you request a quote.
Often paired with a full move
Safe moving is commonly bundled with a residential move or scheduled as a standalone job when you’re just relocating one heavy piece. See piano moving for our other specialty-item service.

I had a lot of unexpected issues come up on my move day, and my movers went above and beyond. Shout out to Espinoza, Alejandra, and Victor for their flexibility and hard work. Made my move-in so much better!
Also on the schedule
Need a different kind of help?
One honest New York crew for every kind of move across the New York City metro.
Local Moves in New York City
Most days our trucks never leave the five boroughs, running between Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan on one flat number you approve before a single box gets taped.
Long-Distance Moving from New York
Cross a state line and the same New York crew that loaded your apartment drives it through, since we run the Boston, Philadelphia, and DC corridors ourselves on our own federal authority instead of handing the load to a stranger.
Full-Service Home Moves
Brownstone in Park Slope or a split-level out on Staten Island, the routine holds: blankets on the corners, a spotter at every doorway, and furniture reset room by room before we roll out.
Apartment & Condo Moves
Doorman buildings and walk-ups off the 4th floor gate you behind reserved elevators and co-op board paperwork, so Denise nails down the certificate of insurance ahead and Sal schedules the crew straight to the window.
Full-Home Packing
Leave the cabinets and closets full and our packers handle it, sleeving dishes and electronics in rigid boxes, then taping each shut so nothing shifts on a run across the Verrazzano.
Interim Storage
Closing dates rarely sync in this market, so we hold the load in climate-controlled storage charged month to month, nothing locked in and no floor on how little you keep.
Common questions
Questions about this service
How heavy of a safe can you move?
We regularly handle floor safes and gun safes weighing several hundred pounds using ramps and a reinforced skate built for that load.
Will moving my safe damage my floors?
No — floor runners and a reinforced skate keep the weight off any single point, which protects hardwood and tile during the move.
Can you move a safe down or up stairs?
Yes, Curtis’s crew handles stair turns with controlled tilt and bracing, the same technique used on our piano moves.
Do you need the combination or contents removed first?
We recommend emptying the contents beforehand for both weight and security reasons, though the crew can discuss options if that’s not possible.
Is a safe move priced separately from a full move?
It can be bundled into a residential move’s hourly rate or quoted as a standalone job — just mention the safe when you request your quote.
