How to Move a Liberty Gun Safe (Cost, Weight & Steps)
Liberty is America's best-selling gun safe — and one of the heaviest. Here's exactly how the pros move a Liberty safe in DFW, what it weighs, and what it costs. Ground-level moves only.
Why Liberty Safes Need a Specialty Mover
Liberty Safe is the #1-selling gun safe brand in the U.S., built in Utah with heavy 11-to-7-gauge steel bodies. Their popular models run from about 340 lbs (Centurion) to over 1,100 lbs for a Presidential 50. That's far beyond what a standard moving crew is equipped — or willing — to handle, and well past safe DIY territory. Moving Company Guys is DFW's specialty gun safe mover: we bring the right dollies, straps, floor protection, and trained crews to relocate your Liberty safe without a scratch on it, your floors, or your doorways.
WeightsLiberty Gun Safe Weights by Model
Weight is the #1 factor in both the move plan and the price. Approximate empty weights for popular Liberty models:
| Liberty Model | Approx. Weight |
|---|---|
| Centurion 18–24 | 340 – 430 lbs |
| Colonial 23–30 | 490 – 640 lbs |
| Franklin 35–50 | 620 – 850 lbs |
| Fatboy Jr / Fatboy | 640 – 745 lbs |
| Lincoln 25–50 | 700 – 1,000 lbs |
| Presidential 25–50 | 900 – 1,150 lbs |
Weights are approximate and vary by size, gauge, and fire rating. Tell us your exact model and we'll confirm the crew and price.

ProcessHow We Move Your Liberty Safe — Ground Level
Important: we move gun safes on a single level only (garage, ground-floor room, to and from the truck). We do not take safes up or down staircases — it's the highest-risk part of any safe move, and keeping it ground-level is how we guarantee zero damage and zero injuries. Here's our process:
- Assess the move. We confirm your Liberty safe's weight, the path from its current spot to the truck, every doorway width, and the floor type at both ends — all on a single level.
- Empty and prep the safe. You remove all firearms, valuables, and documents; ammunition travels separately (movers can't legally carry it). We can remove the safe door on site — it's roughly half the total weight.
- Protect the home. We lay Masonite floor protection and pad doorways and corners so neither your Liberty safe nor your floors get marked.
- Secure to the dolly. The safe is strapped to a 2,000 lb-rated industrial appliance dolly with lifting and ratchet straps — controlled, never free-lifted or tipped down stairs.
- Load and transport. We walk it out on the ground level, ramp it into the truck, and strap it upright and braced for transit.
- Place and finish. We roll it to its exact ground-level spot at the new home and set it down level, with optional bolt-down/anchoring.
The Right Equipment for a Liberty Safe
- 2,000 lb-rated industrial appliance dollies
- J-bars / Johnson bars, pipe rollers, and heavy-duty sliders
- Ratchet and lifting straps, ramps, and load-securing gear
- Masonite floor protection, door-jamb guards, and moving blankets
Why You Shouldn't Move a Liberty Safe Yourself
A dropped Liberty safe is expensive: floor refinishing $1,000–$3,000, drywall and door repair $200–$500, plus serious injury risk — every one of them more than a professional move costs. Standard homeowner and household-goods policies often exclude specialty items like safes, so a DIY accident is usually out of pocket. We're licensed (USDOT #3918729 · TxDMV #009567347C) and fully insured for the safe itself.
Before We ArriveHow to Prepare Your Liberty Safe
Empty the safe and unload all firearms; transport ammunition separately; remove valuables and documents. If possible we'll take the door off on site — on most Liberty models the door is roughly half the total weight, which makes the move safer and faster. Make sure there's a clear, single-level path to the door.
