Why Weight Is Everything

Why Your Safe's Weight Is the First Number You Need

Before you call a gun safe mover — before you get a quote, before you schedule a date — you need to know your safe's weight. Weight determines your crew size, equipment requirements, and your total moving cost. A Liberty Colonial at 600 lbs and a Liberty Lincoln at 1,100 lbs are the same brand and look nearly identical from the outside. Their moving cost differs by $200–$300.

This chart solves a problem that most gun safe owners hit right before moving day: they can't find their safe's weight. The original box is long gone. The manual is missing. The manufacturer's website shows a range. The door label is worn off. We built this chart from verified manufacturer specifications, independent dealer listings, and our own records from thousands of DFW safe moves — so you have a single, reliable reference before you make a single call.

Every weight listed is the empty weight — the safe with no firearms, ammunition, or contents inside. Under Texas law and federal ATF regulations, all firearms and ammunition must be removed from the safe and transported separately before any moving crew touches it. Never ask a mover to transport a loaded safe. See our DFW cost guide for complete pricing once you have your weight.

🔎 How to Find Your Safe's Weight

1
Check the door interior. Almost every safe manufactured after 1990 has a label inside the door frame or on the door jamb with the model number and weight.
2
Look on the bottom of the safe. Some manufacturers stamp the weight on the floor plate or on a label underneath.
3
Find the model number first. It's almost always on the door label. Then use the chart on this page or the lookup widget above.
4
Call the manufacturer. Liberty: 1-800-247-5625. Fort Knox: 1-800-821-5216. AMSEC: 1-800-421-6142.
5
Call us. (972) 528-0385 — we maintain a weight database for every major safe made since 2000. Give us the brand and model and we'll tell you the weight and quote you on the spot.

Important: All weights below are empty safe weights — no firearms, no ammunition, no contents. Move weight increases when bolted to a concrete slab (adds friction resistance). For quotes, always use the empty weight. Empty the safe completely before moving day. Call (972) 528-0385 with your model and we'll confirm the weight and quote you immediately.

★ Liberty Colonial note: The Colonial 23 (508 lbs) and Colonial 30 (600 lbs) are by far the most common safe we move in DFW. Both are Academy Garland stock items. The Colonial 50 (1,028 lbs) is a Tier 3 move requiring a 3-person crew — it's often mistaken for the lighter Colonial 30 because they look nearly identical from the outside. Always check the model number on the door label before booking. See our DFW hub for complete Liberty moving info by city.

Don't see your brand or model? Call (972) 528-0385 with your brand and model number. We maintain a database covering Barska, Gardall, Hayman, Hornady, V-Line, GunVault, Vaultek, Mesa Safe, and dozens of other brands. If we can't find it, we'll ask you to measure the exterior dimensions and estimate from there — we've moved every safe configuration imaginable across DFW.
Why Weight Matters

What Your Safe's Weight Actually Means for Moving Day

Crew Size

Under 500 lbs: 2 movers. 500–1,200 lbs: 2–3 movers. Over 1,200 lbs: 3–4 specialist movers. Sending the wrong crew size to a 1,000-lb safe is how floors get cracked and backs get hurt.

Equipment Requirements

Standard furniture dollies aren't rated for gun safe weights. We use hydraulic jacks rated to 5,000 lbs — the same equipment used for commercial vault installation. Weight determines which equipment we load on the truck.

Your Moving Cost

Weight is the primary pricing variable — it accounts for 60–70% of your total quote. A Liberty Colonial (600 lbs) and a Liberty Lincoln (1,100 lbs) cost $200–$300 different to move, even though they look nearly identical from the outside.

Floor Load Planning

A 1,000-lb safe concentrates that weight across four small feet — creating point loads of 250 lbs per square inch. Most DFW slab construction handles this fine in a garage or on a main slab; wood-frame subfloors need a different plan.

Doorway Clearance

Heavier safes are also wider. A Liberty Colonial (600 lbs) is 30" wide. A Liberty Lincoln (1,100 lbs) is 42" wide. Standard interior doorframes are 32"–36" clear. Width and weight scale together — verify both before moving day.

Anchoring Requirements

Heavier safes need more robust anchoring. A Liberty Presidential at 1,333 lbs requires deeper concrete anchors than a Colonial at 600 lbs. We use expansion bolts rated for each safe's specific weight throughout DFW.

Finding Your Safe's Exact Weight

What to Do When You Can't Find the Weight

These four situations cover 95% of "I can't find my safe's weight" calls we get. Here's exactly what to do for each.

📋 "I have the model number but can't find the weight"

Use the lookup widget at the top of this page — it covers every major brand and model. Or call (972) 528-0385 with the model number. We'll pull the spec from our database immediately and quote you on the same call.

📏 "The door label is worn off / missing"

Measure the exterior height, width, and depth. A 60" × 30" × 22" safe in the Liberty brand family will be a Colonial or Franklin at 600–780 lbs. A 66" × 36" safe is likely a Lincoln or larger. Measurements alone narrow the weight range to within 100–150 lbs — close enough for an accurate quote.

🏷️ "I bought it used and don't know the brand"

Look for any stamped markings on the back plate, inside the door, or on the bottom. Take a photo of the door handle, locking mechanism style, and any visible logos. Send photos to info@movingcompanyguys.com and we'll ID the brand and model within a few hours. We've identified hundreds of mystery safes this way.

⚖️ "I need the exact weight — not an estimate"

The most reliable method: pallet scale. Many DFW commercial shipping centers (UPS Store locations with freight capability) have floor scales. Fork the safe onto a pallet, weigh the pallet, subtract pallet weight. For safes over 1,500 lbs, exact weight from manufacturer spec sheet is the most practical option — call Liberty, Fort Knox, or AMSEC with your serial number and they'll provide the exact ship weight.

FAQ

Gun Safe Weight — Questions Answered

The most common weight-related questions we get before DFW gun safe moves.

Free quote once you have your weight:

(972) 528-0385 DFW Cost Guide → Free Online Quote →
The Liberty Colonial comes in three main sizes: the CO23 weighs 508 lbs, the CO30 weighs 600 lbs, and the CO50 weighs 1,028 lbs. The CO30 is by far the most common — it's the standard 30-gun Colonial that Academy Sports carries. All weights are empty — no firearms or ammunition inside. The Colonial 30 (600 lbs) is a Tier 2 move in DFW, typically $575–$700 all-in from the east Dallas / Garland corridor.
The Fort Knox Spartan 6026 (18-gun) weighs 750 lbs. The Spartan 6031 (24-gun) weighs 805 lbs. The Spartan 7240 (40-gun wide-body) weighs approximately 980 lbs. All Spartan models are Tier 2–3 moves in DFW — $600–$900 all-in depending on your city and distance. Fort Knox Spartans arrive via freight carrier only — no store pickup option. We meet the carrier at your DFW address for curb-to-room placement.
The AMSEC BFX6032 weighs 958 lbs per the manufacturer's published specification. Some dealer listings show slightly different weights (913–958 lbs) due to configuration options — the standard black textured model is 958 lbs. This is a Tier 3 move in DFW, typically $780–$905 all-in in the east Dallas / Garland corridor. The BFX6032 requires a 3-mover crew and our industrial hydraulic equipment.
Our hydraulic equipment is rated to 5,000 lbs. We've moved Fort Knox Guardian vaults at 2,500 lbs and AMSEC commercial units over 3,000 lbs. Safes over 2,500 lbs get a custom quote — call (972) 528-0385 with the brand, model, and your address. Vault-class moves over 2,500 lbs require a site assessment before scheduling to confirm doorway clearance and floor load capacity.
The scale weight doesn't change, but the effective resistance to movement increases significantly when a safe is bolted. A 600-lb safe bolted through concrete with four expansion anchors requires hydraulic equipment to break the seal and lift it — you can't simply push it with a dolly. The unbolting service ($75–$150 add-on) covers the proper removal of anchors and preparation for movement. Always disclose to us if your safe is bolted before we arrive.
You don't need to physically weigh it — that's nearly impossible for most homeowners with a 600-lb safe. Just find the model number on the door label and use this chart or call us. If you can't find the model number, the brand name and exterior dimensions (height × width × depth in inches) are enough for us to give you an accurate written quote. We've quoted thousands of DFW moves from brand + dimensions alone.
