I just picked up a new safe today, as i have seemed to outgrown my current one.

The shipping label on the box had the thing listed at 605lbs.

It took me and Pops like 30 min to coax the thing up the driveway after we got it off the trailer.

When i go to move it to its new home in the garage i am definitely going to be needing 3 men and a small boy.

our small to medium size safe weighs at least 400 pounds empty. id say probably a good 1000 pounds with all the ammo in it.

I'm at 700 lbs empty, it took 3 of us to move it, even then it was a bit difficult.

Mine is about 800 lbs empty. I have moved it by myself twice (that's out of old house into new one X2). A feat like that takes some time to plan and tools to execute. This last time I had to remonve a door system down to the studs to get it in the room.

I moved it by myself because the first time I moved it with help it was a fiasco.

Mine is 1100 pounds and I paid people to move it for me. I'll be modifying it soon with some extra steel so it'll be a little heavier.

Everyone make a mental note:

DO NOT MESS WITH FUSTER.

Especially seeing he is strong enough in either body or mind, if not both, to man handle an 800lb safe by himself. a normal human should be a walk in the park.

I think mines around 15-1700 lbs empty it takes up the whole closet space :D and when it comes time to move it, well lets just say it will be money well spent :thumbup:

edit found it: weight 1,736 lbs

Why do you need a safe? Build an entire vault into your home! LOL..

As for moving them, I love forklifts and those super duper handtrucks, it just so happens I know someone who has both I can borrow too :)

I have always wanted a vault room. We'll build our next house so I'll do it then.

How much after all the dead weight is out?

whats the crew size for that one?

:flipoff:


Go Navy

Yep, go navy, we all need a taxi from time to time, don't we? :flipoff:

Haha, that's before all the dead weight! Depends on how many grunts you shove in there for the loaded weight. I've also carried a jeep in the back of that thing from ship to shore. :thumbup: I wish I would have had a digital camera back then.

It has a crew of three usually, a crewchief in the turret, a driver and a rear crewman (those usually switch back and forth, with the worse one spending more time in the dungeon than the other), and it can hold 26 battle ready infantry (more once you start stacking them in there :laugh: )

:laugh: Yeah, I noticed, you have to pay someone to protect your ass. :flipoff:

I wish I would have got to be on a warship for a little bit, I only got to deal with the gator navy. They still rock though! :thumbup:
