Moving a gun safe is no small task – both in terms of logistics and responsibility.

That’s where AFWAT Movers come in. As gun safe relocation experts, we specialize in delivering secure gun safe transportation that is efficient, compliant, and stress-free. In this post, we’ll explore why AFWAT Movers is the go-to choice for gun safe moving services in your area, what sets our service apart, and how we protect your investment every step of the way.

AFWAT Movers gun safe moving combines expertise, professionalism, and the specialized equipment necessary to complete complex relocations with confidence. Here’s what makes us stand out:

Specialized Experience in Gun Safe Handling

Unlike generic moving companies, we are professional gun safe movers with years of experience managing the unique challenges posed by heavy safes. Our trained teams understand how to maneuver these heavy objects around tight corners, staircases, and narrow doorways without risking damage to your safe – or your property.

State-of-the-Art Equipment

We use heavy-duty dollies, lift gates, reinforced moving straps, and custom padding to ensure secure gun safe transportation. This equipment helps us minimize the effort it takes to move heavy safes and significantly reduces the chance of injury or damage during the process.

Comprehensive Insurance and Compliance

Safety is more than physical – it’s peace of mind. AFWAT Movers is fully licensed and insured. We are also compliant with all local and federal rules regarding the transportation of firearms and safes, giving you complete assurance during your move.

Tailored Service Plans

Every move is different. That’s why we offer customized solutions depending on your safe’s size, weight, and environmental challenges. Whether it’s a short-distance move across town or an interstate relocation, we adjust every element of our strategy to fit your needs.

Don’t risk property damage or personal injury – trust reliable experts. Here’s why hiring professional gun safe movers is imperative:

• Gun safes can weigh from 200 to over 2,000 pounds. Improper handling places your floors, walls, and back at risk. 
• Failing to use the correct straps and leverage tools can result in tipping or falling, causing injury or irreversible damage. 
• Lack of knowledge about safety regulations can expose you to legal issues if the safe contains firearms.
  

Our methodical and professional approach ensures efficient, safe service every time:

1. Pre-Move Assessment

We begin with an on-site or virtual assessment. This includes discussing the size and weight of your safe, your property’s layout, and any special concerns.

2. Prepping the Area

Before the move, we clear pathways, protect floors with heavy-duty covers, and secure doors or walls prone to impact.

3. Secure Loading

We use specialized equipment to load the safe securely into our truck via lift gate, ensuring minimal risk throughout transportation.

4. Transport and Delivery

Your gun safe is transported using GPS-tracked vehicles, padding, and anchor straps to prevent movement during transit.

5. Final Placement and Calibration

Once the safe arrives, we place it exactly where you want it and ensure it’s level, secure, and functional, ready for use.

AFWAT Movers handles a wide range of gun safes:

• Small handgun safes

• Mid-size cabinet safes

• Fireproof gun vaults

• Oversized rifle safes

• Commercial-grade firearm lockers

No matter the weight or size, our team has the knowledge and gear to manage it safely.

The cost of gun safe moving depends on factors like size, weight, complexity, and distance. However, our pricing is transparent and competitive. We offer free quotes tailored to your specific job and guarantee no hidden fees.

Additional factors affecting cost may include:

• Staircases or obstacles

• Sensitive flooring materials

• Time-critical or weekend moves
  

Despite these variables, investing in gun safe moving services ensures protection far outweighing the cost.

Can I move a gun safe by myself?

While it’s technically possible, it’s highly discouraged due to the weight and safety concerns. Professional movers have the tools and training to perform the task without risk of injury or damage.

Is it legal to move a gun safe with firearms inside?

Regulations vary by state. Although some jurisdictions permit transportation with guns inside the safe, AFWAT Movers recommends removing all firearms beforehand for safety and compliance.

Do I need to be present during the move?

Preferably, yes. Your presence ensures access to the space and allows for final placement decisions. However, arrangements can be made for remote moves.

How long does gun safe moving take?

A typical move takes 1–3 hours depending on the size of the safe, route challenges, and destination distance. For larger or more complex relocations, additional time may be needed.

1. Empty the Safe: Remove firearms, ammunition, and valuables – even if transport regulations allow them inside. 
2. Secure Loose Parts: Shelving or interior padding should be removed or secured tightly. 
3. Take Measurements: Ensure all doors, hallways, and passageways can accommodate the size of your safe. 
4. Clear the Pathway: Make sure there’s a clear route from the current location to the moving truck or exit.
