How to move 550 pound gun safe 120 miles
My wife and I just got a place in Chester county PA. We have a 550lb Liberty USA series gun safe right now anchored at our place in Honesdale PA.
What's the best way to move this 2 hours to our new place?
I was thinking of renting a truck with a lift gate, and a dolly.

Do you have a friend with a pickup truck? Save some money that way and a trusted friend or two to help you. A dolly and hand truck will help. It*s not that big a deal, just appears that way.

How do you get it on the pick up truck without a lift gate?

Re: How to move 550 pound gun safe 120 miles
If you lean the top half of the safe down on the bed of the pick up truck, two or maybe three guys can pivot/pick up the bottom half and slide it all the way onto the bed. It kind of works like a see saw with the top half pivoting on the tailgate and the bottom half swinging up. Not as hard as it sounds.
Comes off the same way. Slide the laid down safe until the bottom half slides off the tailgate and rests on the floor, and then a couple of guys get on the bed and lift up the top half to stand it fully upright.

I already told the wife if we move the safe stays. I will just buy a few smaller ones
