I've got a Liberty Colonial 50 that I need to move. Weight is about 1000#
Moving it around shouldn't be an issue but my concern is getting it on and off of trailer. I've got the help, my role will be purely supervisory and logistical. I've got access to dollies and pallet jack if needed.
Y'all got any tips, tricks or insight?

Heavy blankets and use more help than you think you need.Measure path twice before moving once(hopefully).

Remove gate/ramps - forklift with fork extensions to position the center of the safe slightly in front of the axle(s).
You might be able to use an engine hoist and straps if you can get the straps tight enough and adjust the lift arm.

Step 1 - call Ben at motivated Movers Step 2 tell them where to move it
Trust me after years of doing it myself this is the best way to do it. True, if you get hurt and miss work or damage the safe paying Ben would be dirt cheap in comparison

Roll it on several sections of stout PVC pipe, just like they moved houses in the old days with logs. That's how I rolled mine where I wanted it. I hauled it laying on its back on two 2x6s laid lengthwise on the floor of the trailer. A little squirt of Dawn on top of them before laying the safe down (that's a trick too) will allow it to be slid off the end of the trailer and stood up. Strap the hell out of it so it don't slide till you want it to though. Stand it up on 2 or 3 foot sections of 1/2" schedule 40 PVC about 6 inches apart and as they come out the back put them in front and just keep pushing it along. Another option is a tractor with loader and pallet forks....... or Motivated Movers....
Get the F out of the BATFE. The F is guaranteed by the US Constitution. Those other letters are not.
