The same rigging that gets a piano down a staircase handles a bolted-down gun safe just as carefully.
One written number, no walkthrough required.
Home and gun safes are some of the heaviest, most awkward items our crew handles — often several hundred pounds concentrated in a compact frame. World Wide Moving Solutions moves safes throughout Longmont and Boulder County using the same care we bring to pianos: dedicated equipment, an experienced crew, and a plan built around your specific property.
Old Town Longmont homes often have narrow doorways, tight basement stairwells, or raised thresholds that a several-hundred-pound safe simply won’t clear without careful planning. Our crew chiefs, Sawyer Holt and Jesse Marchetti, walk the route in advance — measuring doorways, checking floor load in upper rooms, and deciding whether the safe needs to go out a window or wider exterior door instead of the path it came in through originally.
In Longmont’s newer subdivisions, safes are more often located in a garage or main-level closet, which usually simplifies the move, but ramps, thresholds, and tight garage turns still require the right dolly setup and enough crew to keep the load controlled the entire way.
Safe moves rely on heavy-duty appliance dollies, stair-climbing equipment, and rigging straps rated well above the safe’s actual weight. We never attempt a safe move with standard moving dollies or an undersized crew — it’s not worth the risk to your floors, your walls, or the crew moving it.
| Safe Weight | Typical Crew |
|---|---|
| Under 300 lbs | 2-3 movers |
| 300-600 lbs | 3-4 movers |
| 600+ lbs | 4+ movers, specialty equipment |
A heavy safe rolling across hardwood, tile, or even carpet over a subfloor can cause real damage if it’s not handled correctly. We lay down floor protection along the entire route before the safe moves an inch, and we test the path with the dolly empty first when we’re unsure about clearance or floor load, particularly on upper levels of newer Longmont homes where floor joists weren’t necessarily designed with a large safe in mind.
Colorado households commonly store firearms in dedicated gun safes, and these present the same weight and access challenges as a traditional home safe, sometimes with the added consideration of state and local transport requirements. We handle gun safes with the same equipment and care as any other safe move, and we’re happy to talk through any specific handling requests you have during the quote call.
We also move safes for small Longmont businesses relocating offices or retail spaces — often heavier and bulkier than typical residential models. These jobs usually need daytime access coordination with a landlord or building manager, which our dispatch team handles as part of scheduling the move.
If your safe is part of a larger household move, pair this with our residential moving service. Also moving a piano? See our piano moving page — we treat both as specialty items on every job.

One number covers the crew, the gear, and the care — nothing itemized after the fact.
Chase and Chris was doing the move . They were very professional and polite. Furniture was wrap and moved carefully and placed where I wanted it. Would highly recommend them for a move.
Great moving crew. Move was fast and efficient.
The fastest moving experience in a desperate time of need! I couldn’t thank Javier and his team enough! Definitely, going to be my first choice when it’s time to move again and will be booking wayyyyyy in advance!
