Recommendations for moving a safe

[Executive]

A friend of mine has an old safe he'd like to move from his old house to his new house. This thing is big and heavy. (Probably 1500lbs. +) Can anyone recommmend a good moving company that can handle the job? Safe is going from Danvers to Georgetown.

Thanks.

There was a discussion of this not too long ago. You might a search.
I'm thinking that using a professional mover for something that big will cost more than a new safe

Here's one of them

I'm not sure if it is relevant for your friend or not

Whatever one was crazy enough to carry the damn thing in there.

You might try calling up a rigger.

Moffett Field? Moffett Precision bookbinding machine?

I think he's referring to a really big, really expensive forklift.

Forklift I believe. You see them piggybacking on the back of trucks for offloading deliveries.

I used Borman Bros. in Pepperell to put mine in, a 5500# TRTL30x6. No way I was moving that by myself. I had them receive it on their dock and deliver it and put it where I wanted it. They did a good job and I think it only cost me something like $250 for the whole thing. Pretty painless and I would use them again.

I hope you tipped them well. When I get something that big and heavy moved, I usually offer each mover either a $20 dollar tip or a case of beer, whichever they each choose.

There are two Safe/Vault Movers in Salem,Ma. Check the book or yellowpages.com

I would call them before anyone. They do it for a living.

Moffett?

Isn't that the guy who built Airwolf?

Exec-

Try DL Quinn Riggers in Middleton. Its a little past Daileys on River Street. He moves a lot of the equipement we fabricate at the shop I work at. He seems a bit crabby but he is really a nice guy. He can move anything!

Call a Safe Rigger. Mancini Safe in Norwood, MA comes to mind.
