I have a small 4x8 utility trailer with a tilt bed on it that I could use I guess, its just a PITA to get out since its tilted up against the wall. I dont think Ill be able to use the tilt feature with that much weight but the safe will only be about a foot off the ground.

Flat bed tow truck is the way I have seen them moved or a truck with a lift gate. Well worth it. When I have to move my tool box that is how I moved that thing. Not worth the hassle. Do it right and be safe.

Trailer it. Then see if someone you know has a sturdy A frame with a pulley that you could borrow. (looks like a swing set but much heavier duty) Back the trailer under the A frame and lift it with a chain/pulley combo. Drive trailer out from under it and then use a dolly. When i was 16 working at a feed store, i could move 1000lbs of feed (20 bags of range meal) with a bit of effort. I weighed 145 soaking wet. Get some hands to help ya for sure.

dude rent a flat trailer or car trailer from uhaul for the 50 bucks a day or whatever. make some rollers or some wood ramps to slide it down so it doesnt scratch it up, once you get it on the ground then i dunno

i think that would work, something low to the ground.

Tie a chain around it and tie the other end to a tree. Put an old tire at the base of the tree. Pull down the tailgate and floor it.

It seems like getting the safe out of the truck isnt that big of a deal. I'm curious how you plan on moving into and through your house
