Safe Moving Services in Quebec, Ontario, and the Maritimes

The most common type. These models range from around 50 lb at entry level to several hundred pounds at the high end. The main challenge: getting them out of a basement or office without damaging the stairs or walls.

Built into concrete or wood flooring, these safes need to be extracted before transport. A site assessment is essential to plan the extraction method and protect the surrounding surfaces.

Mounted inside a wall, often hidden behind artwork or furniture. Extracting a wall safe takes precision to avoid damage to the surrounding structure or the lock mechanism. Smaller models may need just one mover; larger ones require a full team.

Bulkier than they appear. A 4-drawer fireproof cabinet protects documents against fire and can weigh up to 2,000 lb because of its reinforced walls. Our movers use the same techniques as for any heavy safe: heavy-duty dollies, lifting straps, and floor protection.

Notaries, lawyers, retail businesses, corporate offices: our movers handle safe relocation in residential and commercial settings. Reinforced filing vaults (2 to 4 drawers, often weighing 500 to 1,000 lb) are among the requests we receive regularly. Whether it's an office safe, a vault, or an industrial-grade model weighing several hundred pounds, we provide the right gear: high-capacity dollies, lifting straps, temporary ramps, and stair-climbing tools. No damage to your premises.

Step 1: Assessment

Before any work starts, our professionals assess the type of safe, how heavy it is, its original location, and the access constraints: stairs, hallway width, floor type. This upfront planning lets us give you an accurate estimate and arrive with the right gear. Send us photos of your safe through our online form to speed up the process.

Step 2: Surface Protection

Our movers install protective coverings on the floors, stairs, and door frames before starting. No surface is left exposed during the move and transport of your safe.

Step 3: Extraction and Handling

Depending on the setup, we use dollies sized to the safe, lifting straps, and temporary ramps for stairs. For wall safes, the extraction is done with precision to avoid damaging walls or affecting the lock.

Step 4: Secure Transport

The safe is strapped down inside our truck with padded protection on all sides, so it arrives at its destination in the original condition. Our 20 to 30 foot trucks are equipped for heavy and oversized loads. We ensure discretion and security as part of our standard service for safe relocations.

Step 5: Installation

We place the safe in your chosen spot, verify that the surface can support the load, and confirm everything is in good order before leaving.

Safes often contain valuables, cash, and important documents. Your belongings are protected by our cargo insurance of $100,000 per transport unit and our liability coverage of $2,000,000. The most complete protection available in the Quebec moving industry.

Since 2006, our team has transported safes, grand pianos, spas over 1,000 lb, and industrial machinery. Safe removal calls on the same skill set: assessing access, protecting surfaces, and handling heavy items in tight spaces.

High-capacity dollies, lifting straps, temporary ramps, and floor protection. We arrive with everything sized to your specific safe and the homes or offices we work in.
