Gun Safe Movers in Portland

Moving a gun safe securely requires experience, knowledge, the right tools and is best left to the professionals. “If you have any concerns or doubts about your ability to handle the task safely, consider seeking assistance from professionals who specialize in gun safe relocation,” advises SafeWorld.com. Due to their weight and importance, most Portland moving companies use special equipment, like heavy-duty dollies and ramps, to move firearm safes. Additionally, it is industry standard to remove all firearms and other items from the gun safe before the move.

Having served the Portland area since as a professional moving company 1920, O’Neill Transfer & Storage understands the unique challenges associated with moving gun safes. Our team wraps each gun safe we move in moving blankets before we start to protect the safe itself and its surroundings. We also utilize soft landing spots and leverage straps when moving gun safes.

In the moving industry, the importance of insurance cannot be overstated, especially when transporting items like gun safes. Most reliable Portland moving companies prioritize having both general liability and worker’s comp policies to protect all parties involved in the move. Move.org explains, “All moving companies are required to provide basic liability coverage free of charge.”

The price tag for transporting a gun safe can be influenced by several factors, including how many safes are involved and their respective weights. According to our market research, the cost to relocate a gun safe fluctuates between $100 and $1000, with the average hovering around $525. According to MoveBuddha, “If your gun safe is being moved across town, the cost is usually between $200 and $500. In addition, on interstate and intrastate moves, you may be charged a “bulky article” fee on top of the weight.”

Protecting the gun safe from potential damage during a move is essential. Typically, Portland moving companies use protective padding, employ meticulous lifting and positioning techniques, and take route precautions to avoid jolts or unnecessary movements. SafeWorld.com also highlights, “Gun safes are designed to be upright, and laying them on their sides or back can pose risks and potential damages.”

Training and experience play a crucial role in moving gun safes. The moving industry understands the importance of well-trained crews to handle such specialized tasks. However, not all moving crews are created equally. This is why finding a moving company with an experienced moving team is important, especially when moving a specialty item such as a gun safe. “Be sure to ask the moving company whether they have ample experience handling your specific type of move,” states Moving.com.

Top-tier moving companies use specialized equipment such as hand trucks, dollies, protective blankets, lifting belts, stair-climbing tools, ground shields, sliders, and rigging instruments. These gadgets are designed to match the distinct dimensions and heft of gun safes, facilitating their nimble movement within residences or during the loading and unloading phases on transport vehicles. “[Movers] need to have a gun safe dolly or one that can withstand the safe’s weight, moving ramps, and ratchet straps,” adds Angi.com (formerly Angi’s List).

The amount of time it takes to move a gun safe varies based on several factors, including distance, size and weight of the safe, and any unique challenges associated with the move. If you are moving your gun safe long distance, it is a good rule of thumb to allow one day for loading, one for unloading, and an additional day for every 500 miles traveled. Transport an object of excessive size and weight is a dangerous process and should never be rushed. SafeWorld.com notes that moving a gun safe requires “careful planning, physical strength, and attention to detail.”
