[QUOTE="StLPro2A, post: 3732215, member: 48052"] Funny story. Reminds me of when we moved from Des Moines to Dallas many chapters ago. BIG lumper used on Dallas end to unload made similar comment. "If you move again, don't call me. Too much pig iron." Wimp...only....several safes, metal and wood lathes, vertical mills, Coates 10-10 tire machine, two air compressors/80gal tanks, maybe four motorcycles, maybe 50 racing tires, 5-6 floor jacks, three LOADED 72" tool cabinets tops/bottoms, four Corvettes, engine hoists, maybe 5-6 motors and transmission/axle assemblies, much more in enclosed trailers. Then, we unloaded the wifey's stuff. :) :) :) Several years ago, I bought an UltraLift (actually two...too long story for now) powered stair climber for moving my and friends' safes. Rated at 1500lbs, but I've moved 2000lb safes up stirs with them...two guys on the UltraLift. Built piano style moving dollies with 6,000 lb capacity. Move all our safes. Old Harley buddy taught me that a strong safe is desirable, but a strong safe that no one knows about is preferable. We move our own so no one knows we have them. Then, later, bought a retired bank primarily for the vault, remainder renovated into a big boys playhouse. With the right equipment and a little practice and accessories, moving big safes is not difficult. One of our buddies built a "Chariot" specifically designed to haul safes down the road. Run the UltraLift with safe attached right into the Chariot, strap it down, swing it up, lock the lift, and drive away. Easy peasy. with time, you will find it is not the cost of the guns, it's the buying/moving the safes that gets expensive. :) :) :) [/QUOTE]
