What information does the mover need?
Provide manufacturer, model, exterior dimensions, estimated weight and clear photos of the entire path at both addresses. Include stairs, landings, thresholds and tight turns.
Should a gun safe be empty?
Yes. Remove firearms, ammunition, documents, shelves and accessories. Transport regulated or valuable contents separately and securely.
- Confirm the unloaded weight
- Measure every opening
- Clear the full route
- Tell the crew about weak flooring
How are floors protected?
Crews use rigid floor protection, ramps and reinforced dollies to spread the load and prevent dragging. The exact setup depends on wood, tile, concrete or carpet surfaces.
When are stairs unsafe?
Safe stair handling depends on total weight, stair construction, width, turns and landing space. A professional assessment may rule out a route rather than risk the structure or crew.
