You should consider using the Escalera to lower the safe down each step rather than dropping down each of the steps. Just remove the big wheel attachment and bring the Escalera about 2-3 inches from the step edge and reverse the toggle to let it safely and slowly lower it down each of the steps. Using the ramps worked but seemed to add some danger that could have been eliminated by using the stair climber to lower the load. If you aren't used to going down stairs with the unit, watch the Escalera video from the company and practice with no load so you get comfortable doing it.

There are so many things that could go wrong in a moving job especially a heavy item. Great job!

Thanks for posting! We've been waiting for a new video to pop on here using the Escalera. I think we've made up our mind now! Looks pretty solid and watching your techniques have helped. Now for ramps and the carpet/floor protectors!

I know this is an old post but we used to have an Escalera for moving wood burning stoves around the showroom and into customer homes but then we found out about the Powermate LE-1. Not only does it climb up and down stairs but it also acts like a forklift and can move the load up and down. Alittle more expensive than the Escalera but WELL WORTH IT!

Good job for getting it done. Wrong equipment to get it down. No one should under a safe. People been killed on a safe falling on them. Stay safe

So helpful and useful. Thank you guys a thousand times over

Nice job. We just finished one 4k lbs safe and one 3k lbs and had to stack a 1500 lb one on top of a 3 ft safe . These are the bread and butter.

You guys are incredible. Safes are damn hard to move. I need to move my safe in a couple days, at only 600 lbs.

I can't believe they didn't wrap it up before they started that's unprofessional in my opinion

We had one of those those last week. The kid that was holding the dolly slipped and the safe fell on the ground. Luckily nobody got hurt. It took 4 of us to lift it back up.

Very professional loading of safe nice work

Why no shipping blanket so as not to scratch the case

That is not the 900# version of the medallion. It’s slightly less than 500.

I would think it's a good idea to wrap the safe in cardboard or a moving blanket then some plastic wrap so you do scratch it with the dolly.

The Escalera is nice. We used to have one but then we replaced it with a Powermate LE-1 and there is no comparison. The Powermate will eat the Escalera for lunch. I own Cen-Tex Fireplace Solutions and use it for moving 400-800 pound wood stoves and inserts.

@@mjkpanda there is a learning curve with the powermate. The key is to keep the load centered over the wheels to keep it easy to control but once you move a few things it's like driving a stick shift. You don't even realize what buttons your hitting you just do it. We love ours

Thats an amazing machine, though does it come with a safety (Kick Stand) on the operators end, because it seems as though it can use one especially during the time you first tilted your way. ...just observations bro, be safe out there.

hello im very impressed where can I order same dolly please share the info I own a moving company

They should’ve wrapped and pads first, and then strap to the handcart second of all you guys should’ve had Masonite down on the floor you never roll of 900 pound safe across the floor on floor runners. Lol.. The title of this video should be, “how not to move a 900 pound safe.. also also , You could always pull the front door off which takes a considerable amount of weight off and it also makes it safer to move. How do I know this you ask? I own a moving business. Good day to you guys.

Overall good job. Suggestion use more cardboard and rubber. The cardboard as corner caps to make it easier to get your Dolly under the appliance as well as to protect it or maybe to protect walls as you are traveling from room to room. Rubber (from rubber mats to rubber tires) could be used to cushion all landings especially when you decided to lay the safe down -- a long rubber mat on top of two rimless donut car tires would have been perfect under the safe on its side, in this way it's high off the platform but not too high to disturb the center of gravity but high enough to get your fingers under and to make it easier on your back when it's time that stand the safe up again. Couple times I saw in your videos using the same piece of equipment the wobble while descending stairs and now in this case ascending stairs that's pretty scary.

Those are not fun... Great job guys
