Linda can often quote it from your description alone.
A gun safe or floor safe doesn’t come loose with a hand truck and hope. Danny Ochoa’s crew brings straps, a rigging plan, and — when a safe is bolted into a rental floor — the right tools to remove it without tearing up the flooring.
Rigging Built for Dead Weight
| Safe type | Typical weight | Equipment |
|---|---|---|
| Small home/gun safe | Up to 500 lbs | Safe dolly, straps |
| Mid-size gun safe | 500-1,500 lbs | Rigging straps, ramp |
| Large floor safe | Up to 2,500 lbs | Full rigging rig, reinforced ramp |
Floor Safes Bolted Into Rentals
It’s common in this part of the San Gabriel Valley for a landlord-installed floor safe to be lag-bolted straight into the subfloor. Our crew unbolts it properly rather than prying it loose, which matters if you’re trying to get your deposit back.
What We Need to Know Before We Quote
- Approximate weight and dimensions of the safe
- Whether it’s bolted to the floor or freestanding
- Stairs or doorway widths between the safe and the truck
- Ground floor or upper floor placement at both addresses
Safes over roughly 2,500 lbs need a conversation before we book — call Linda at (888) 278-9005 so Danny’s crew can plan the right equipment.
Bundled in, not billed separately

- Reinforced ramp for loading and unloading
- Proper unbolting for floor safes secured into rentals
- Route walkthrough before quoting
- Crew experienced with weight over 1,000 lbs

The rest of the lineup
Need a different kind of move?
Same Irwindale crew handles all of these across San Gabriel Valley, not a separate subcontractor per service.
Local Moving
Michelle's crew has hauled enough Covina bungalow furniture and Baldwin Park apartment loads to size a truck from the address alone.
Long-Distance Moving
Danny runs the same truck all the way to Vegas or Phoenix — nobody hands your boxes off to a stranger halfway there.
Residential Moving
A Craftsman bungalow off Foothill Blvd and a West Covina two-story get the same careful crew, different equipment.
Apartment & Condo Moving
We know which Covina and Baldwin Park complexes need a certificate of insurance before the freight elevator opens.
Full-Service Packing
Nobody has a free weekend to box a whole kitchen — give Linda a date and Michelle's crew has it done before the truck backs in.
Piano Moving
An upright and a baby grand don't move the same way, so Danny wants to know which one you own before he puts a number on the stairs.
Questions that come up on this job
Answered before you have to ask twice
What's the maximum weight you can move?
We regularly handle safes up to about 2,500 lbs. Above that, call ahead so Danny's crew can plan the right rigging equipment before move day.
My safe is bolted to the floor — can you remove it?
Yes, that's routine for us, especially in rental units around Baldwin Park and Covina where landlords bolt safes into the subfloor. We unbolt it properly instead of prying it loose.
Do you need to see the safe before quoting?
Ideally yes, in person or over video — weight, bolting, and the route to the truck all affect the crew and equipment we bring.
Is the safe insured during the move?
Yes, it's covered under our cargo insurance during transport. Let us know the approximate value if it's especially high.
Can you move a safe up or down stairs?
In most cases yes, with the right rigging — tell us the stair count and any tight turns when you request a quote.
