Reliable Guy w/a 1 Ton Truck or Deck Over Needed

Recommended Posts

Alright guys, I’ll try to be detailed here.  I have to move. The biggest logistical hurdle is an 1800 pound (empty) gun safe. The best method for moving this thing is to rent the largest skid steer available, place the bucket over top of the safe, strap the safe into the bucket, lift it & lay it on its back into the bed of a truck or onto a deck over trailer. The truck bed must have tie down brackets at the cab. If you’re up for transporting the safe from 37137 to a currently unknown location around Nashville send me a pm. Obviously there will be compensation unless you’re retired and looking for an adventure of course. Along with the safe there will be 8,000+ rounds of ammunition that must stay with the safe & within my eye site during the move. I’m guessing a combined 3000 pounds. The firearms & gun powder will be in my truck that will be towing the skid steer along with what ever else will fit to the new house. There will be minimal labor required on your part, maybe moving some 2x4 or short pieces of pipe used to roll the safe into the bed. A deck over trailer (no car haulers) would be easier but not necessary. If you know anyone with a large (1 yard bucket) skid steer I would pay them for letting me use it. Even better would be a guy with a 30 foot deck over & the skid steer but that’s pushin my luck. There is no better way or alternative method other than hiring a crew. I will also need to use the skid steer to remove 80 T-post I installed for the fence which I figure will take an hour. This also means I’ll have 2-90 pound shepherds to worry about. Since the moving date is unknown I can’t be held up with a companies schedule nor will I jam up their schedule. Once I find a suitable house things will be put into motion relatively quickly. Again, huge bonus if you’re retired & flexible. Ive never needed a hand moving this thing but logistically it makes sense to have a second truck, I have no idea what safe movers charge but I know a guy or gal gottsta get paid for their time. We could trade time for ammo as well. If you can help, let me know. Thanks.
