Getting ready to move in a month....need to move my safe to a downstairs location. I don't care to risk my brothers backs' moving a 800 lb safe.
I see Vault Movers? in Carmel gets good reviews. I have contacted them...anyone that does this in the Columbus Indiana area that anyone knows of?
Thanks,
I had Remarkable (Mark) move a Browning out of the basement and deliver to my new address. Reasonable and efficient. Very nice crew, too. Father and son with a helper. All the right tools and a custom truck designed to move safes.
What about the locksmith and safe guy on 11th street by Washington street? Name escapes me
Post #2 has the number and Mark is his name. Out of Louisville. I got their name from Rural King.
Remarkable Safe Moving 502-681-3719
Dredging this back up. I talked to professional safe and vault once. Estimate he gave scared me as it was half price of safe to get it in to basement. This was due to complexity of my house. We moved it to new house ourselves and put it in garage until we could decide final plan. We shouldn’t have done any of move ourself as it scratched it a bit but we only had 7 days to vacate old house...and I had army of people.
Regrouping now. Wife has agreed to place on first floor for it. Now I can’t get a call back from professional safe and vault. He may have written me off. So will move on to remarkable. May be a vacation issue or something...but gotta get it moved.

Finishing this out...
Professional Safe and vault came through for me. Called me out of the blue early this week(could very well have been a vacaton thing...he had a good tan! lol). I had talked to remarkable last week. Said he was just up this way, would be expensive...but had a big job for the DHS in Indy that he was going to do soon and would find out status and call me back. He never called me back and PSV called. So I went ahead with them to get it moved.
Came out, truck, trailer(fancy! trailer for lilfting heavy ****) and a fancy furniture cart. Way more physical labor involved than I thought. Figured fancy dolley, etc, little manhandling. Nope, lots of man handling. They heaved a 1000 lb safe up the 4 steps to my front door. On front porch, transitioned it and used this fancy battery furniture cart to get it in house. Then proceeded to take it on 'sliders' across our carpet. Lol. Pretty DIY looking, but worked fine. Hardest thing he did, that I couldn't do....was he was behind safe, in the nook when it went in, and heav hoe'd himself up with his arm muscles over top of safe and back down. lol.
He waxed safe for me, adjusted door stops(spring steel that keeps door tight against seals) and informed me that I had left hte packing tape on the seals for 8 yrs...and the safe would not have sealed in a fire. Lol.
Anyway, its done...now to move in.
Question. 42" wide safe in a 47" hole. Locked in pretty much. Bolt it to floor? I am thiniking I will...with big ass fender washers up from bottom(its a basement, shoudl be able to put wrench on bottom of bolts).
As a final suggestion for Columbus area peeps. PSV was expensive as it was a 2 hr trip for them total, from their office....plus 2 hrs at the house. I paid for that. Neighbor said he had Honeymoon Haulers in Columbus move a safe upstairs for him...so they would have been my next call.
